When do you use cada & when todo? I know they're interchangeable, but is that the case always?
When use esta or es?
Re: It is very close to the beach!
Kwizbot ¡Está muy cerca de la playa!
You !Está muy cerca a la playa!
You could also say: ¡Está muy próximo a la playa!
Would it be correct to say: “cerca a” or does cerca always require a “de”
Thank you, Nicole
On my latest quiz, I was asked to write “Alicia has as much joy as Carmen.” I chose “Alicia tiene tanta alegría como Carmen”, because I understood “tanta” means “as much/as many…as”. My answer was wrong. The correct answer is “Alicia tiene tan alegría como Carmen”. I thought “tan” here meant ”as…as”. Did I misunderstand something from the tan/tanta mini-lessons?
Looking at Inma's
Sin/sin que + infinitive/subjuntive in Spanish (subordinate manner clause)%252Fsearch%253Fs%253Dsin%252Bque - and favouring the simpler construction when it is permitted, presumably we could also say? > "... [alcancen su potencial] sin verse afectada su integridad física y moral".
Hola Inma,
Cociné esta comida la semana pasada y es aún mejor que se puede imaginar. La combinación de las verduras [pimientos rojas y verdes y tomates] en un caldo de pescado es perfecto para un día frío .... pero no te olvides al menos dos dientes de ajo. Las patatas terminan la textura del plato perfectamente. Tenemos la suerte tener pescaderías excelentes en nuestra región [de Irlanda] así que no es difícil comprar atún fresca.
Para información: El nombre inusual es de "Marmite" [de francés], que es una tipa de cacerola metálica con una tapa. "Marmitako" es lo que se llama en el país vasco. Además, en el oeste de Cantabria este plato se llama "Sorropotún," y en el este y en el centro de la costa, "Marmita." Todo el mundo debería probarlo. Saludos. John
No me gusta anotarme a mí mismo en la prueba de audición. Es una pérdida de tiempo. Deberías eliminar esa característica.
what does the > symbol mean when used in e>ie, e>i, etc?
We would be wrong with you.
I would say "We would be wrong about you."
Hi there, I am a little confused as there appears to be inconsistencies in the colouring of letters which are irregular in the verb tables.
In this table only the Z is red, I understand that the letter Z is the main focus of the lesson, however almost all of this verb is irregular, and only highlighting the Z makes me question myself.
In other lessons I have seen emphasis with both red and blue, but there doesn't appear to be a regular pattern, which also casts doubt on my learning.
I know it may be a big job, but would it be possible to devise a standard practice, and then implement? Maybe a job for a Spanish intern :-)
