Expressing probabilities

I noticed that " me pregunto cuándo van a llegar" was one of the options in this exercise. Could I have used "van a llegar' instead of "llegaràn" to express probability

Why is 'lo' used here?

In the example, "You have already slept enough for today," what is the reason for using 'lo' here: "Ustedes ya han dormido lo suficiente por hoy."

I want neither a sandwich nor a burrito.

Included in the possible answers in the mini-quiz are:

1. Ni un bocadillo ni un burrito me apetece. (Correct)

2. Me apetece ni un bocadillo ni un burrito. (Incorrect)

Can you please explain how placing "Me apetece" at the beginning of the sentence instead of the end changes the meaning and makes it incorrect?

Many thanks.

Economy of words

Hola Inma,

I really like this construction. The words "I'm warning you" or "I'm telling you" are dropped, and I imagine the full meaning would be implied by the tone of voice that the speaker uses.

I wonder whether this is like the reverse of phrases such as "Que tengas un buen día" or "Que disfrutáis el partido" where "I hope / wish" is implied and you are left with "Have a good day / Enjoy the match."??? Perhaps there is a separate lesson on this already, which doesn't come to mind right now.

Saludos

John
