Is there any difference in pronunciation between "cazé" and "cacé"?

I'm thinking they should sound the same in both peninsular and Latin American Spanish. If that's true then why the spelling change?

Using the gerundioHola,One of the questions in the mini quiz read ... ¡Es increíble que ________ creyendo en él! It is incredible that you continue believing in him!Can you explain why the gerundio "creyendo" is used here and not the infinitive "creer." Hopefully there is a lesson on this.Thanks. John

Matching noun for Algún(a, os, as)

In the example given:
"¿Tienes algún problema? No, pero gracias por preguntar."

 

Why is it not "algúnas" to match the gender of problema?

Ese es EL ladrón, why not LAS? It hasn't taught me anything to help me with this distinction?Ese es ________ ladrón. The correct answer is el, I answered with las. When I click on "Discuss this lesson" it shows me examples of masculine and feminine the, as in las, los, el, la. Why should this be el, instead of los? 


It is frustrating that this program isn't teaching me something before quizzing me on it, or helping me understand why it's wrong. Am I missing something, or is the program missing something? If it's me, what am I missing?

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

Irregular adjectives

Hola Inma,

In your response (at the bottom of this thread) you mention: "that is seen later on for irregular adjectives." I did a search for "irregular adjectives" but did not find one on this particular topic.  Can you refer me to the lesson you had in mind in your answer?

Thank you?

Nicole

Why use 'a' instead of 'para' or 'por'?

In the examples of  "¿Quién prepara la fiesta a Sofía?" and "Nosotros les preparamos la cena a nuestros invitados."

Why use 'a' instead of 'para' (for) or 'por' (on behalf of)?
