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

Is soler+infinite geographically universal in Spanish-speaking countries or more common in some countries than in others? ¡Gracias en antemano para los insights!

ln the present tense version of this lesson we learned that we could use the infinitive (sometimes) by dropping the "que". (The "sometimes" was not really explained, but I think one of the users may have clarified it in the comments.) Are we to infer from its omission in this lesson that we cannot similarly use the infinitive when the first clause is in the pretérito? 

I am unable to find Part 1 and Part 4 of Un crimen perfecto.  Can you help?

Hi,

I find I have a very difficult time trying to differentiate the various terms used on your site for verb tenses and what their equivalents are either in Latin American Spanish and/or English. Especially in the "test your knowledge" section. Every time I have to search and search for the English equivalent to make sure I have the right tense being asked for.  

I looked for a list of them on your site and couldn't find any .  Where do I find this  or could you please furnish one with their ( Latin American - if possible) English equivalents. 

My 501 verbs doesn't the same titles for tenses as you have.  For example: Your: Preterito Perfecto , is Perfecto de Indicativo in my dict;, Your Preterito Indefinido is Preterito in mine.

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

El suele comprar siempre en la misma tienda.

He usually buys in the same store

why is “siempre” used in that sentence?

I’m the examples “that is an umbrella” and “I have an idea” where there is no clear gender established is it acceptable to use either un or una?

I'm guessing it's because it's the adverb of understand, not because it's the adjective of gente? Thank you!

Responsibility is misspelled in this sentence: to avoid some of the responsability for what is said
