Spanish language Q&A Forum

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!

how do I go to the next lesson? After I take my test and check my results I do not see anything except return to the lesson. In the lesson I do not see any way to go to another lesson?

I'm not great at grammar in my own language and before I started learning Spanish I didn't even know what the subjunctive was. So I've learned it's a sort of feeling expressing doubt or IF something were to happen or wishing? I can't quite see how "we're going to sit where there is shade" fits in the subjunctive. Doesn't it suggest certainty? Or am I wrong about this?

Can you provide some explanation on why “cada de los invitados” does not work? The quiz said that choice was incorrect when the correct answers were “cada uno de los invitados” and “cada invitado”. Gracias!

Why in the 1st sentence does the noun precede and why in the 2nd sentence does the adjective precede?

Aquel hombre pobre no tiene dinero. (Poor)

Aquel pobre hombre era muy desgraciado. (Disgraced)

The only distinction I see is the different quality described by each adjective.

---------------------------------------------

And, how does the chart below help to answer my question?

Adjective           before             after

  pobre           unfortunate        poor

---------------------------------------------

It would be useful to use single spacing in this edit window. It would be a more efficient use of space, minimizing the need to scroll. I am obsessed with formatting. 

Thank you, James

I am interested in the reasoning for using "los cuales" in "no se sabe si permitirán a los niños a llevar sus móviles apagados dentro de sus mochilas, los cuales podrán encender al final del día".  My understanding is that "que" is used by default when referring to a specific noun, in this case "sus móviles", while "el/la/los/las cuales" is an optional, more formal alternative.  But in my answer the simple "que" was deemed incorrect.  Is this because the "que" would refer to "sus mochilas", being the noun immediately preceding, so the "los cuales" is required to disambiguate?  Or have I misunderstood something more basic?    

Hi Inma, I've been enjoying your lessons.

Would it be correct to say:

"No pienso ir."

as:

"No pienso que voy a ir."

Thanks.

I don't understand this question. What about ella hermana _______de novio. What will be the answer?
