Cualquier v. Cualquiera v. Cualesquiera I am sure that I am missing something that is right before my eyes, but I am going to ask for clarification anyway.
The lesson states that "cualquier is used BEFORE a singular noun."
Further it indicates Cualquiera must be preceded by un or una + and comes AFTER a singlular noun.
Lastly it references the plural of Cualqiera: cualesquiera. This has no requisite precedent (un/una).
Therefore, please explain if there is an exception as apparent in the following:
"La Unión estará de CUALESQUIERA derechos de aduana." This test question has no article precedent (un/una) and CUALESQUIERA appears BEFORE the noun (derechos de aduana); that is, it appears to act more in line with the singular CUALQUIER. So the question is: Is CUALESQUIERA the plural of Cualquier and not the plural of Cualquiera. Thank in advance for your help and response.
hi, the last sentence says 'i like travelling by train'.
Why is 'viajar por tren' wrong? and when do we use 'en' for transport?
Thanks
Hi, a comment, the meaning of por que would be clearer by using the literal English translation. “Some women fight so that their work rights are recognized”. The English used here translates into Algunas mujeres luchan por el reconocimiento de sus derechos laborales. Shirley.
Hi, just want to let you know that this is the third mini-quiz that I've come across on my recommended list that has no questions. It just says "1 of 0".
In one quiz there was a sentence: Hace calor. Saldré al jardin un rato. Voy a salir sounds more natural and is what I hear more often from South Americans. Is the use of the future tense more common in Spain?

There is another chapter on using qué + noun + verb. ¡Qué lento va esa coche! = ¡Qué coche tan lento! Is this the same and correct ?
I find that both are the same? May someone point out the differences?Thanks
