future tense?

How does "could" translate from "Dónde estará esa chica?" Isn't that future tense? Would "¿Dónde podría estar esa chica?" be more correct?

Nouns that are plural

Hi,

My answer "algunas vacaciones largas" was marked wrong and "unas vacaciones largas" was given as the correct answer for "some long vacations." Why is algunas wrong? The lesson doesn’t address either unas or algunas.

Thanks. K

Misleading items?

1. You marked my "continúa" as incorrect, telling me to remove the tilde (but you then included the tilde in your final version).

2. You told me to "Use a conjunction other than conque for 'so'", and then you proceeded to use "conque".

Verbs ir, salir and venir followed by the preposition a.

Hi, just a small error. Both examples are the same.

Fui a su casa para hablar con él.I went to his house to talk to him.

Here, we could have used the preposition "a"with the same intention:

Fui a su casa a hablar con él.I went to his house to talk to him.

Accents for demonstrative pronouns: optional/regional/outdated?

I've been reading a book in print and they have "este" (no accent) as the demonstrative adjective and "éste" (accent) as the demonstrative pronoun:

esta casa (adj.)
ésta es mi casa (pron.)

But I don't see that in this lesson. Is it out of date/RAE stuff or is it only included when ambiguous and my book is being overzealous?

Also, there was a really cool little fact in the book that said that "aquél" and "éste" are used in the same way that "former" and "latter" are in English. I'm still confused as to whether the accent is necessary or optional for pronouns, however.

Aun and Aún - Some confusion with English translation of example sentence

I think the better English translation for this is:

I still have very good memories of that trip. (instead of: I have still very ....)

What are the other words for adios. Like other slangs which are used in other Spanish speaking countries. Like chao. Are there any other words?
