Es verano is correct

Es verano is completely correct. When you guys have ambigious test questions like this -- and there are MANY on this web site -- it gets frustrating.

Great Lesson

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

Is there an opportunity to slow down the speaking voices. I find the masculine voice speaking almost as fast as is possible. Seems very rushed always.

El Pretérito Imperfecto vs PreteritoYo ________ por la ciudad cuando lo ví.I was walking around in the city when I saw him.(HINT: Conjugate "caminar" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.)
I don't understand why this is El Pretérito Imperfecto rather than only past tense.

forming adjectives from country names

Hi,

I did a search on your site to find out the above, but there were not results.

Do you have a lesson/guidelines on how to form adjectives from country names?

In the quiz there were names of countries and I couldn't tell how to form the plural adjective.

Thank you, Nicole

Indirect form

Here in Mexico I've heard the use of the indirect form: "No me dio ganas." Is this generally common, and can we use it in different constructions, such as "Me da ganas viajar a Guatemala."?

Progressive perfect tenses?

What is the difference between these two sentences?

Las fresas habían estado recolectadas.
