In my dashboard test there are two correct answers using the future tense of continuar and seguir, but the English hint is in the present tense. Th e word “will” to indicate future tense is absent. Shirley. 

Hola Inma,

In the example: "Esta tarde ayudo a mi madre en el jardín", the point in time when the statement is occurring seems important. Can it not be "esta tarde" at the time of the statement, which would make it the continuous present (even though that tense is not being used, just as the future tense is not being used)? Or is the present tense simply not used in this way?

Cuánto ha bebido Juan

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

In all the examples, “no” comes before the verb, but it’s not explained in the lesson. Is it always required?

Does it mean that he wants to be on the ship on the day of his birthday? Or does he want to receive the gift on that day?

Me extraña que él quiera venir al cine con nosotras. (I'm surprised he wants to come to the cinema with us.)

I'm confused by what appears to be third person (extraña) rather than first person (extraño) in this sentence.  Please explain. Is it similar to use of the verb "gustar" --- where third person is used?
