Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi Inma, I've been enjoying your lessons.

Would it be correct to say:

"No pienso ir."

as:

"No pienso que voy a ir."

Thanks.

I am confused- the present participle in English is used in both the despues de + infinitive and the gerundio.  It’s hard to differentiate between the two in English so it’s guesswork in Spanish…

This is probably an easy question, but is there a simple way to tell when "tanto...como" means "both" and when it means "the same as"?  Thanks.

How come for certain reflexive verbs we use le instead of se? For example Él le gusta la chaqueta. The jacket is pleasing to him. 

I understand the lesson well.However, I want to ask whether one of your sentences could have been written better.', incorporating  "Lo" from a previous lesson.. Su oración en español fue: Ayer, estuve pensando en cómo nos conocimos. Pues, yo no me  acuerdo.  ¿  lo podía ser mejor si usáramos : ...Pues, yo no lo acuerdo?

Hola Inma,

When referring to 'around' a given time, is 'a eso de' the only way to express an approximate time? 

Gracias y saludos 

Just a reminder that " sé" is also the affirmative imperative form of "ser" for "tú".

Ex: ¡Sé muy lista!

(Hope to save people having to look it up.)

A very enjoyable read-along exercise and then well worth browsing through to check new vocab. I loved the café chorreado! So, Inma now has the nickname, "Sara".
