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.

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?

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

John

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.

With the correct answer being:

She might know the truth

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

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

Thanks.

Hi,

There are two sentences in this lesson the use the word as 'jóven' an adjective.

My dictionary and as online dictionary spell this word without the accident when used as an adjective and a noun.  Only in the plural is an accent used.

Can you please tell me whether this is a typo or there is something I am missing.

Thanks very much.

Saludos,

Colin
