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

may i summarise and say that igual de... que is used for non quantity or another way, quality comparisons only? for example, we can use tanto... como for 'tiene tanto dinero como yo', but we cant use it with igual de. non quantity or quality comparisons which are adjectives, adverbs.

I translated "I gave some flowers to your mother" as "Yo le di unas flores a tu madre". It was marked wrong and I can't work out why. I've looked at a couple of other websites and I still don't understand what I've got wrong. One site says that the "le" has to be used. The given answer didn't have "le" in it. Even if the "le" is optional, is it actually incorrect to use it, or have I got it all wrong? Thanks.

Hi Silvia. The phrase "expression of doubt" (I paraphrase) and the way it is used here seem ambiguous. How is it that according to the tests "creemos que" and "piensan que" don't express doubt; to me, since they don't express certainty, there is doubt. Likewise, how is it that "es impossible que" is followed by the subjunctive, when it expresses certainty that something is not possible. Please clarify. Thanks.

Can I say in the following ? 1. No es mi culpa, 2. ha sido su culpa 3. Es culpa de Juan, 4. No tengo culpa 

I thought I understood that an accent is used when cuándo is a question but now It’s also used when it isn’t. So when do we use cuando without an accent? I can’t work it out. 

Hola,

If habría is the only usage here, in what context would the other conjugated parts of the verb be used?

Gracias,

Re: "because I find that it's an interesting instrument."

Kwizbot  porque me parece un instrumento interesante.

You         porque me parece “que es” un instrumento interesante

Google translates the sentence in question: "Because I think it's an interesting instrument"

leaving out the "that" in the original text. 

       Would it be incorrect to have the “que es” here?  How do I find out how to work the  “magic” of

       sentence structure.  Thank you. Nicole
