The vous form

I study Spanish in Guatemala where we don’t use the form vous. Is there any way that my lessons can be without the vous form? Thank you.

se va or irse having another meaning

in one of the examples,

Verás, el chico se va a enfadar y va a coger y le va a dar un puñetazo.

You'll see, the guy is going to get cross and he's going to go and give him a punch.

where does 'se va + a' comes from? is this irse with other meanings?

Could you direct me to the appropriate lesson?

thanks

Notice contar isn’t in this list?

Hi there, I notice contar wasn’t in this list? Or is it always the case that an -ar- verb ending in “ontar” will change its stem?

El armario estará LISTO

It should be: "El armario estará listo para ser usado todo el invierno."

Also any high-school Spanish teacher would wince at the sight of all those misplaced commas.

A suggestion from a native Spanish speaker: get your reading practice from somewhere else.

Why not the hijos?"Él la respeta a ella pero no respeta a sus hijos."
Why wouldn't it be "no los respeta a sus hijos"?

Why does this sentence have "lo"? Doesn't dejaron todo mean they left everything?

Alguna, Alguno, Algunas, Algunos

The notebook information appears to be very poorly delineated on this subject. The answers in the micro-quiz seem to fly directly in the face of the BUT BE CAREFUL information given! If the person is selecting SOME of the ORANGES, according to the text the "some" should be alguna since "even if it refers to a plural noun, the pronoun is in the singular form." The lesson dictates appears to need a lot of work.

Tienes should be correct for tu

Te Llamas - Informally, I have learnt in theory, that it should be correct although Que te llamas is formal!

En vs. sobre

Hi! Is there any difference between the prepositions en and sobre with the verb pensar? E.g. can I say Ellos siempre piensan sobre el trabajo ?
