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"?

"Yo tomo el café con menos leche"--why is "tomo" shown as "have" in the English translation? It is a very common phrase in English to say "I take my coffee with . . . ," so was there a reason to change it to "here?"

Hello, Could "niñitos" work in place of "niños pequeños"? Thanks.

Es una cuenta excelente, pero nos falta la conclusión!

Hola,

Solo quería avisarles que el ejercicio dictado- Nivel A2 ‘Real Fábrica de Cristales y Vidrio’ del Weekend Workout, Friday 6 Diciembre- no está disponible.

Saludos a todos:)

El ejercicio de escritura, Nivel B1 ‘Pottery in Pereruela’ tampoco está disponible. 

Please clarify what is meant by each it. 

I assume the first it refers to the reflexive pronoun and the second  it refers to the verb.  BUT ONE CANT BE SURE

Kwizbot           Llamamos inmediatamente a la recepción/ a recepción

You                  Inmediamente llamabamos a la receptión

(Hightlights are for my info in keeping track of my mistakes and corrections)

I was wondering if you could refer me to a lesson that goes over placement of adverbs - I looked at the lesson re this section, but it didn’t mention placement, just how to form it. And also how to know when to use the article and to not use in "a la recepción/ a recepción"

Thank you.

Nicole

Hola,

I have a few questions on this exercise  -- that did prove to be challenging : )

1. Store it in the fridge until the next day

Kwizbot          Guárdalo en la nevera/ frigorífico  hasta el día siguiente
You     ­­­­­­­­­__________  en la nevara hasta el día proximo.

The test didn’t accept “el día proximo” as a possible answer, whereas online translators have translated "el día proximo" as “the next day”.  So I’m wondering if this phrase connotes something other than”the next day”.  Thank you

2. I get confused and can’t tell when to include the word in parenthesis in the Spanish translation– like here :

Then, knead (the dough)

Kwizbot     Luego, amasa
You   Luego, amasa la ___________.

 And how would it be written if, for example, if the word isn’t said in English, but appears in Spanish and/or vice versa?  And the meaning of any other similar anotations,

3. In my answer, would this phrasing/word order be acceptable, and if not, why not?

the marzipan is ready!

Kwizbot                 ¡Ya está listo el mazapán!
You                        ¡El mázepan está listo!

 Thank you for your attention and patience!

Have a great day! Nicole

Vas a/para casa de Inés

Wouldn't there be "la" before casa?Then if "a" or "para" is correct why don't we get "no banana" if we used "para"? In this case using "a" instead of "para" is more correct?
