I'm a little confused as to why one use of hacer seems to actually be employing hacerse. The example I'm referring to is below:
Me hice construir un anexo al lado...
Why wasn't this written simply as "Hice contruir un anexo al lado..."?
Another way to ask my question concerns another example.
Hicieron pintar de nuevo ...
Why was this example not structured as Nos hicieron pintar de nuevo...?

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."

Inma - Many thanks for this useful lesson.
I am wondering if it might be worth emphasising, at the beginning, that "-ar" verbs all form their gerund quite regularly. Is that true?
That could be reinforced with examples like pensar [> pienso] > pensando;
and (in your category 3): contar [>cuento] > contando.
and maybe even mention in your category 1 that crear > creando is quite regular - (i.e., with no 'y' inserted).
We do appreciate your hard work and dedication !
Does usted/tú have to be after the verb, or could it also be in front of the verb?
which of these are allowed:
¿Dónde vive usted?
¿Dónde usted vive?
¿Dónde vives tú?
¿Dónde tú vives?
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.

Hi, Inma
I translated the sentence "it would be very difficult to determine it." into "sería difícil de definirlo", and the correct answer removed the "de".
But when I translated the sentence "that will be hard to forget for tango lovers" into "que será difícil olvidar para los amantes del tango." the correct answer asked me to add a "de" after "difícil".
I'm so confused now.
Saludos

When I put Yo entiendo instead of just Entiendo it was marked incorrect. Is it my error or a program error ?
Question
Why is vosotros/cantais used in the second sentence? vs Tu siempre cantas la misma cancion?
Tu cantas opera - (you sing opera)
Vosotras siempre cantais la misma cancion - (you always sing the same song)
PS: accent marks won't work
Hello,
I get very confused when coming across these various terms that may or may not mean the same thing.
Can you please tell me how these are called in English, and if any and which ones are synonyms? and am I missing any terms that would fit in this category?
Impersonal refleja (se)
SE IMPERSONAL
Impersonal Refleja
La pasiva refleja
Thank you for your help in deciphering this.
