Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hello, could esto and aquello suit in these sentences ?

If not, when can I use esto and aquello ? and when musn't I use ello ?

Muchas gracias.

I do find this confusing even though I understand the grammatical logic behind it. But my (temporary) solution is to get away from thinking in English and adopt the Spanish viewpoint. So I think “I please you” (te gusto); “you please me” (me gustas); “he pleases them” (les gusta) etc. , rather than "you fancy me"......

I believe it’s better as a general principle to try to think in the target language, rather than translate from your own language into the target language.

Hope this helps.

Hi...

My name is Zotya and I wonder how I can expect it to be pronounced by Spanish people when I arrive there in October.

I am specifically interested because if the first letter "Z".

Thank you all.

Is it de la mañana, en la mañana or por la mañana? Are they interchangeable? It's always a guess for me.

Why is the answer documental not documentario?

Can’t “vamos a continuar derecho” be used instead of recto? And aren’t carretera and autopista the same thing?

Thanks.

With the correct answer being:

She might know the truth

In another lesson the future simple also implies ´maybe/chance of´, right?

Hola,

Is there a reason why "cuento" cannot be used for "story."

My translator says that "cuento" is used for a fictional tale and "historia" is used for a narrative account. I always thought that they were more or less interchangeable.

Kind Regards
