Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi, sometimes a blue pencil appears when I submit a question. What does it mean? Thanks, Shirley. 

Please check this question. 

When I did this quiz a few minutes ago, I only had the choice of one answer.   It turns out that there were three correct answers so I received partial credit.  I added it to my notebook to look at the question again, but once again it did not offer the ability to check multiple boxes. 

In the text above, it says, 'no parará de reír.'

But in the exercise it was corrected to 'reirse'

Which is correct?

Es verano is completely correct. When you guys have ambigious test questions like this -- and there are MANY on this web site -- it gets frustrating. 

Too often I have found the “hints” to be problematic in that I am thrown off by them. For example, in this lesson one hint was “Lit: "At 2 I have lunch with dehydrated foods" lunch = almuerzo, foods = alimentos."  Assuming “Lit” means “literally”, the literal translation should have been “A las dos tengo almuerzo con alimentos deshidratados” NOT “tomo” or “como”. I do know that "tomar" is used when referring to food, but the so-called "hint" threw me off on this one!

Por qué en la primera oración “ que por qué”? 

I read from the other answers that common names such as Juan and proper nouns such as movie are unable to use direct object pronouns.

Example - lo he visto pelicula is wrong but he visto pelicula is correct?
Example - lo he visto a Juan is wrong but he visto a Juan or lo he visto is correct?

how about el pelicula de Pedro lo he visto

or

he visto el pelicula de Pedro?

Thanks in advance
