Spanish language Q&A Forum

One of the quik quiz questions had "Ella nunca...".  The rules and your examples seem to say that "nunca" has to be at the very beginning of the sentence yet "Ella nunca..." was given as a valid answer.  May I suggest that you add in an example to make that point clear?  Thanks

Why is it "trae" and not "está trayendo"?

For this lesson I’ve got a bunch of rules bouncing around in my head regarding when to use indicative vs subjective without understanding the “why” behind the rules. Can you provide any guidance on why these rules are the way they are to help me remember them?

It would seem that "foggy" is an adjective and therefore está would be used instead of hay.  This one is really confusing for me.

In the Yucatan in Mexico, I have heard el derecho for straight ahead. It is quite confusing with 'la derecha' for the right. Todo recto is much better!

Hola,

We have porque, que and como in this construction - and we know that por can mean 'because of' - can it also be used as a causal conjunction in this sense?

Gracias,

No aceptaba que su amigo tuviera una serpiente en casa.

She couldn't accept her friend having a snake at home.

Why does this not translate to:

"She didn't accept that her friend had a snake at home."

In other words, why isn't  "had" the translation for "tuviera" instead of "having"?

Hola, en el frase "Gregorio Rojo fue su primer entrenador", por que no es "era"?

Muchas gracias,

Dorit

The translation for these examples have been translated in present continuous which I thought in spanish were Voy a construir una casa  -  I am building a house

Also Tú huyes del incendio has been translated as You're running away from the fire 

which I thought would be  - está huiendo del incendio

Thanks
