I had to use process of elimination to get the right answer - I couldn't see anywhere it references positively that you sometimes have to change the verb ending to que to go from se acerca to acérquese?
Do you have something to help with that?
Thank you!
Hi, can you please help me to understand why ‘Para lo que’ means ‘given how much’ in this sentence.
Thanks
I have 2 questions about "no puedo esperar a ver":
1. First I was surprised by the 'a' after 'esperar'. When do you use this construct rather than esperar on it's own?
2. In the grammar link for that sentence it says that you shouldn't use this construct at all, so when should you vs when shouldn't you:
"Literal translations from English to Spanish don't work. In this context, do not use this type of construction in the English way:
"Estoy mirando a..." (I am looking forward to...)
"No puedo esperar a..." (I can't wait to...)"
I find the interactive options on this exercise brilliant. Listening, clicking on phrases, getting a translation all work seamlessly. Also the narrative is straight forward, relevant and a great introduction (for me) to the subjunctive. The Lawless method is really good. Being able to click into explanatory teaching materials straight from the phrases is so helpful. It makes learning easy. Thanks!
Are there other examples besides just these? I have a Spanish dictionary that says that the word "internet" can be either feminine or masculine, with both "la internet" and "el internet" being correct. Could you provide any other words that do the same besides just the few that are provided in the lesson?
What are the other words for adios. Like other slangs which are used in other Spanish speaking countries. Like chao. Are there any other words?
Is "le" necessary? can I form the sentence without it?
Why was "partido" (for "game") the correct usage in the first part of the last sentence, but then "juego" (for "game") was correct in the latter part of that same sentence?

I, too, would like an answer to Nicole's question, please.
