To me it sounds a bit contradictive in this lesson: first, you say "nouns that end in a consonant and refer to inanimate objects are generally masculine" and then you continue with "you cannot predict the gender of inanimate objects".
I have no problem with having to memorize things, but I think that first part may be confusing to some, so it might be better to just leave it out.
I'm very much enjoying the lessons in general though. ¡Gracias!
Hi could anyone tell me what " usar", "comodo", "velicidad", "dejan" "cojer" mean?
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.
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?
Todo alcalde merece respeto. (English trans: All mayors deserve respect.) Why is it not Todos alcades merece respeto?
Saludos,

The lesson says, "Sometimes, when we talk about putting or attaching things on people, animals or things we still use the indirect object pronouns without the preposition." In the examples of this that are given, what preposition is not being used? Thanks!
If the example used "Vamos, ..." as "Come on, ...", why cannot I use it in my Quiz answer? Perhaps the Quiz needs to be more modified to remove the multiple correct options and be more concise.
Hola,
Does 'vaya fastidio' here mean, 'what a nuisance'? If it does, then I really like this. I shall be using this at home during this never ending lockdown! My 23 year old, who is not a home usually, is beginning to drive me crazy, haha.
In the test, the answer was wrong. But, grammatically, Yo tengo and tengo should be accepted as correct!
Please can you check why this was marked incorrect!!!
