1)
ine: and you have to pay for the ticket.
I wrote: y tu debes pagar el boleto.
but none of the answers gave this as a possible answer.
Is there something I'm missing as I thought it means: you must...(do something) as in:
b. have to (SpanishDict.com)
Ya sabes que debes ponerte la corbata para ir al colegio.
You know you have to wear your tie to go to school.
2)
Also in the same exercise:
Line: I would like to visit Medellín next year.
I wrote: Me gustaría visitar Medellín el año proximo.
But none of the answers take this verb into account, but go with the verb: Querer:
Quiero visitar Medellín el próximo año.
Would this not also be a way of saying "I'd like to go" or should the English have been: "I want to go" and that there is
possibly an error here?
Thank you,
Nicole

Examples from above:
Mis amigos, que se llaman Luis y Mario, me visitarán mañana. My friends, who are called Luis and Mario, will visit tomorrow.
El director del colegio, el cual trabaja duro, es respetado por todos. The headteacher, who works hard, is respected by everyone.Both of these are "who" examples. Are que and el cual interchangeable for these? Would it also be correct correct to say "que trabaja duro"?
Thank you :)
The mini kwiz had this possible answer which I did not select, but which was apparently correct: "Nuestros padres compraron helados a nosotros." Isn't "a nosotros" the same kind of pronoun as "a ti" or "a ella"? Why would this not require a "nos" before compraron the way "a ti" or "a ella" would require "te" or "le"?
Interesting lesson!
I noticed a simple memory trick: use dónde with verbs, donde with nouns.
That is:
[verb] + dónde
[noun] + donde
Cheers!
Hola ...
Would it be possible to use "lo que no se pueden" as the phrase refers to "hay oportunidades" elsewhere in the sentence. I don't have much experience of using "lo que" but remember reading one of your lessons about this, and it seems to fit. If not it would be really helpful to know why.
Many Thanks
John
In the writing test "Remedy for aching muscles B2" it says "No hay nada
que odie más". Why is it not "No hay nada que odio más"?
Muchas gracias a Shui y Inma por este reader.
¡Qué emocionante! No puedo esperar a ver la serie :)
I used to love to watch the Hollywood production of 'El Cid' as a youngster. At Christmas of 2019, my daughter and I went to Burgos (where so many of my family & ancestors are from) and we saw El Cid's grave in the beautiful Cathedral of Burgos.
Voy a ver la serie en Amazon Prime :))
