Hola,
Are we saying here that the use of 'de' is optional?
Gracias,
Bear in mind, though, that when this is used with the verb tener or haber, then you can add "de". For example:
Esa historia no tiene nada de particular.No había nada de irónico en mis comentarios.
"In addition" does not have the same meaning in English as "On the other hand"
Javier es bastante guapo.
select ...MásPor otro ladoEn otro ladoTampocoPor otro lado, es muy trabajador. (Javier is quite handsome. In addition, he is hardworing.)
Why is the "quedarse + gerund" translated throughout as "stay...". I'm a native U.S. English speaker, and I don't know anyone who would say that someone "stays doing" anything. We'd say the person "keep doing...".

When do you use cada & when todo? I know they're interchangeable, but is that the case always?
can we say ha venido a quedarse instead of using para?
Is ´"tecnologías nuevas" wrong? I thought nueva could be put before or after the noun?
May I ask is there a unit explaining the expressions like "estar hasta las narices" "no tener dos dedos de frente" "dar la espalda" etc?
In a children's story, people named a baby tapir "Tapete". Does the name carry a meaning of affection by changing the word tapir and making it sound cute? Or do they just want to name the baby tapir with the meaning of the word "mat"? Thank you!
Hello, can you please explain the choice of el pretérito (creció) as opposed to el imperfecto (crecía) in this context? I thought that perhaps the time marker "con el tiempo" might indicate a more extended time period, and thus signal el imperfecto. Thank you!
