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.

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

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.

Why is the answer documental not documentario?

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.

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
