How to searchHola,
I clicked on the link at the top of this lesson to see more info on the topic :
However, later on I tried to do a search with both these entries in the search box and on the Library page with these entries - below- and nothing came up (except the translations - which has happened several times before):
Entries: Spanish grammar lessons for Idioms, Idiomatic
Usage, and Structures and
IDIOMS, IDIOMATIC USAGE, AND STRUCTURES (your link in the lesson)
I don't understand how come this does not come out in the search. What am I doing wrong?
Also would it work better to search in Spanish?
Thank you. Nicole
For ¨People always want to give their opinion about everything.¨ my answer ¨La gente siempre quiere opinar sobre todo.¨ was marked incorrect and the correct answer was given as ¨La gente quiere opinar sobre todo.¨
What happened to the ¨always¨ ?
It is a very important day - Es un día muy importante.
It is a very cold night - Hace una noche muy fría.
I understand it is idiomatic. But why? What is the difference between the two sentences? What if I want to say 'it is a very cold boring day'? Would it be 'es un día muy frío y aburrido'?
P.S. I believe in this example we are talking about a night and its characteristic (cold), not about weather. The test for this lesson needs to be reviewed.
Hi I'm trying to learn Spanish and I came across a sentence which caused my learning app and my native Spanish speaking partner to disagree:
The original sentence from the learning app: "Si puede, deles una explicacion a sus alumnos"
My partner say it's wrong, and it should be "Si puede, dele una explicacion a sus alumnos"
Since it refers to giving an explanation which is singular and not plural.
To my understanding, it should be plural because it's given to the students.
Which one is the right one??
Thanks!
Hi- I thought pronouns had to come before conjugated verbs. For example, I would think "Explain it to him well" would be translated either "Se lo explica bien" or, if a command, "Explicáselo bien". However, in the quiz for this section, the correct answer is verb se lo bien. Can the pronouns be placed after but seperate from the verb?
Thanks
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.
Hola,
In the sentence "The hotel has a very big swimming pool surrounded by grass", shouldn't 'cuenta con' be an acceptable alternative to 'tiene'?
Gracias,

Hola a todos,
‘Da igual cuál sea tu sueño...’
If I’m correct then I understand this sentence to mean, ‘It doesn’t matter what your dream is...’ The latter part of the sentence says, ‘it can be related to your lifestyle’. It’s the part of the sentence that says, ‘...no tiene por qué estar relacionado con trabajo...’, that I’m struggling with. I think I’m right to understand that it means, ‘it doesn’t have to be related with/to work’. I’m just not grasping the use of ‘por que’ here? Please could you explain it to me?
Many thanks
Clara :)
In Latin America we only use the imperfect of querer if we didn't get what we wanted, or if we got what we didn't want. Otherwise we use the preterite. Is it the same with the version of Spanish you teach?
