Is a "trip" an idea or a thing?There is a test question that goes like this:
¿Qué viaje prefieres comprar? Prefiero ________.Which trip do you prefer to buy? That one over there.
The correct answer is "aquel". However, this doesn't make sense to me, as a trip isn't a thing you can see/touch. It's a series of connected actions (traveling from point A to B, seeing things, doing things) and as such seems more of an abstract concept or idea than a physical thing like a coat or a skirt.
According to the lesson text, the proper use of "aquello" is when referring to an idea. As such, I would choose "aquello" as the pronoun.
Am I interpreting the use of "aquello" incorrectly, or is the answer wrong?
When I put Yo entiendo instead of just Entiendo it was marked incorrect. Is it my error or a program error ?
Does it mean that he wants to be on the ship on the day of his birthday? Or does he want to receive the gift on that day?
Anyone know what "la patacoja" is, I can't find it in any dictionaries.
¡No faltes al respeto a tu profesor!Don't insult your teacher!Why is this not taking "le" before the verb since it is "faltar a alguien"?
This question: "Dime ________ te vas a ir de aquí." I think this could be interpreted in two ways, but perhaps there are other grammatical considerations that mean only one works. If the sentence is intended to mean, "tell me now at what point in the future you are leaving here", then 'cuándo' seems correct. On the other hand, if what is meant is "at the future point in time that you are leaving here, tell me", then I *think* it would be 'cuando' with no accent?
Incidentally, I have been through several rounds with tech support and I still never receive notifications of new answers. I get notified when somebody likes my question and I get Shui's suggestion every day, but only twice have I ever gotten email notifications of answers to questions. I do appreciate that questions are now marked as having answers, although that doesn't really serve to notify if there are additional answers since last I checked.
Hi,
I find I have a very difficult time trying to differentiate the various terms used on your site for verb tenses and what their equivalents are either in Latin American Spanish and/or English. Especially in the "test your knowledge" section. Every time I have to search and search for the English equivalent to make sure I have the right tense being asked for.
I looked for a list of them on your site and couldn't find any . Where do I find this or could you please furnish one with their ( Latin American - if possible) English equivalents.
My 501 verbs doesn't the same titles for tenses as you have. For example: Your: Preterito Perfecto , is Perfecto de Indicativo in my dict;, Your Preterito Indefinido is Preterito in mine.
Help:(

Hola,
Could you provide a few (more) examples of the use of the verb 'to cost' something?
What sorts of things does it cover (or could you use it for everything)?
Everything fluctuates in price, so are we talking about things that we concentrate our daily lives on (sometimes obsess about!): stock market/ currency, houses, petrol, food, drink? Things we think of as fluctuating day to day?
Gracias,

Hola,
One of the alternative expressions you offer to the text for he moved to live in the United States" is "se transladó a vivir a Estados Unidos."
I think this should be "se trasladó."
Saludos
