Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi - 

Wondering if you could explain when to use le instead of la or lo? I usually think of le as “to him” or “to her” like an indirect object. But I am not sure. Thank you!

In your example on the use of tanto...como, one of your sentence  has left me uncertain about the translation. Tanto cuando son pequeños como majores, los hijos siempre preocupan a los padres. The English translation in your example is: Whether they are young or grown-up, children are always a worry for their parents. The use of the personal "a" before the word "los padres" suggests that the children worry about the parents, except that the verb should have been "se preocupan"..If it was intended to mean that the parents always worry about the children whether young or grown-up, in my opinion, the words "los hijos" and "los padres" should be interchanged, with the verb se preocupan. Otherwise  " están ocupados" should have been used instead of "preocupan"  and or used before los padres. Please advise.

Hello, I have just reached 75%+ in the B1 level of Kwiziq.  I have found whilst progressing through A2 courses in the past that it is better for me to reach 75%+ in a level before attempting the written library exercises. 

Even though in the lessons I have "completed" B1, I am finding the weekend workouts at this level very difficult.  I specifically joined Kwiziq as I feel that these "now create sentences and paragraphs in Spanish" is a unique feature for online learning, but wow, they are tricky.

Please someone tell me that this is how it was for them, and that eventually it will become more simple!! Lie if you have to!!

I'm not going to give up, this is what I need, but my brain is hurting :-)

Hola,

A little confused on the structure of this:

Deja que yo busque la carretera en el mapa.

It's the part that deja plays - I'm interpreting it as imperative. I'm thinking it should be dejame, or something like that? 

Gracias,

Why is the accent on "cuando" in this answer? It doesn't appear to be a question. Is it considered an indirect sentence because the narrator is quoting the screen?

La pantalla no dice ________ aterriza el avión.The screen doesn't say when the plane is landing.

EDIT January 12: I see that there is a lesson in B1 about use of the accent. However, I'm still in A2, so maybe there could be a link to that lesson where I was in A2? It only said when to use the accent, not when not to. Thanks.

To all of the teaching and development staff of Kwziq and Lawless Spanish:
If it were possible, I would recommend you to a top spot in both the teaching software and general software halls of fame. You gals and guys are the very best the world has to offer!
I am hopelessly addicted and probably moving too fast. I just love watching my percentages rise and can't get enough of it.

I am interested in the learning process from a neuroscientific point of view and I am witnessing numerous additions to my long-term memory. As a young child would, by immersion in the Spanish language, I am also adding new listening and speaking abilities every day to Broca's and Wernicke's areas in my most important asset, my brain. What I have learned is that the most important thing in life is to continue learning.
¡Saludos y congratulaciones a todos!

Be careful because with other hundreds like 203, 345, etc., the tens and units do not change, just the hundreds.

For example:

thought treinta  should be treinte according to the info above that says the tens and units don't change

Please advise

many thanks
