Spanish language Q&A Forum

I think the better English translation for this is:

I still have very good memories of that trip. (instead of: I have still very ....)

The translation is not provided, the examples translate it as "must," but google translate shows "owe" and "have to."

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

I was just marked wrong when I answered a test question with 'hemos sido'. I was told that the correct answer was 'hemos sidos.'  There is no sidos in the conjugation that I can find.  What is this?

Hi Silvia. In the example, "Tal vez yo haya estudiado mucho para el examen," the English translation says, "I might have studied a lot for the exam".  Is that "I might have studied a lot" in the sense "maybe I would have studied a lot [if I had time?"] Or "Perhaps (it possible) I studied a lot for the exam"? Both?

Oh wait, after writing this I realized that the sentence perhaps means, "I should have studied a lot for the exam.” We Americans almost never use the word “might” in this sense. I’m not sure how much you Brits (all British residents) do. Is this the sense in which it is used here?

In the reading exercise Espiritu Navideño, the woman is described as espíritu mágico de Navidad. How come, the ending is not changed to match the feminine "mujer"?

I was curious...

En esta frase, "Me recomendó que practicase meditación y que tuviera una actitud positiva."  Es muy común que una persona mezcle ambas formas del imperfecto de subjuntivo dentro de la misma oración? 

Hola Inma, 

These constructions have always confounded me and I have learned to accept them without being able to understand the "rationale."

Thank you very much for such a clear explanation. Saludos. John
