Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hello, I'm slightly confused with the following:

As you can see from the previous examples, when we use deber with this nuance of assumption/wondering, we can optionally use the preposition "de" after deber.

So you are saying that "de" is truly optional and has the same meaning whether "de" is used or not?

Thank you,
Dave

#46. I must be missing something. Why is seguí estudiando better than continué estudiando?

such a clear, beautiful soprano voice and a beautiful, blending chorus of young angels . . .

una voz de soprano tan clara y hermosa y un coro de ángeles jóvenes tan hermoso... .

I cannot find a word to add "blending" into the Spanish.

HELP?

These are taken from an exercise in the B2 Writing Library

I'm confused with the use of article here

deberías consumir espárragos trigueros, guisantes y habas        but      pondría ingredientes como la lechuga, las endibias, las espinacas, etc

What is the rule here?

Is it because conseguir refers to a person not a thing?

Hola!

I started doing the relative pronoun lessons and quizzes before I even had a complete understanding of what a relative clause was!! (Maybe some different organization of the B2 lessons would alleviate this for other students???)

I needed more understanding so I did a search, and lo and behold, I found this lesson and the lights came on!! 

I get it now and it makes perfect sense to me. 

Thank you so much for this lesson Inma! (I see it's quite recent)

As a forever student, the lessons and explanations make learning Spanish so much fun for me and have taken my studying and learning to a whole new level. 

I really love the dictation and writing exercises!!  I was wanting to train my ear to hear better and these exercises fit the bill perfectly!!

 I'm so glad I found Kwiziq!!

Muchas Muchas Gracias y Feliz Navidad!!

Hello,

I'm interested in the flexibility when there are multiple objets. The first example on the page is: A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella le diste mucho.

Would 

A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella mucho.

also be correct?

And what about: 

A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella diste mucho.

?
thanks!

Maybe just worth pointing out that in the sentences with "a" the preposition is used in two different ways: 

- as a "normal" preposition, for example, indicating motion: "El partido al que fui" 

- as a "personal a", where there is a direct object (Los cantantes a los que los fans adulaban) but where "a" is needed because the object is personal.

I think that's so, isn't it?

I'm confused by the title of this article: "personal "a" verbs". Isn't the issue whether the direct object is a person or not, rather than the verb used? In addition to the verbs mentioned, isn't the same true of all the verbs on https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/learn/theme/830919 as well as necesitar, golpear, ... indeed any transitive verb?
