I’ve been getting the quantifiers mixed up with how to remember they do agree with the gender and plural when it’s applied. 

Especially for demasiado and poco. When is it that it does match the thing it’s describing; and when does it not? 

Kind regards,

how do we know how to choose between ser and estar? i thought ser was used for permanent things but estar is for not permanent things?is that thought true?if not how do we know which to choose?

Hola,

I took the full-in-the-blanks quiz "Asando Castañas" today and one of the blanks, where I should choose between El Subjunctivo Presente and El Indicativo Presente, was the following:

muchas personas se suman a ella con tal de pasar un buen rato,hasta que ______ (llega/llegue) el amanecer.

Apparently the correct answer was El Indicativo (llega not llegue), but I don't understand why. Isn't sunrise a future event that is yet to happen and therefore the sentence requires El Subjunctivo?

Thanks as always!

Deborah

Not a huge deal, but I learned monte = hill and montaña = mountain and not the other way around. Maybe I'm wrong.

Hi, can I say una bolsa is a handbag as well as un bolso?
