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
would this sentence be more suitable to be translated to i almost did not reach on time for my appointment, rather than i almost missed my appointment?
Casi no llego a mi cita a tiempo. No he escuchado el despertador esta mañana.I almost missed my appointment. I didn't hear the alarm this morning.
Hola,
Is it always hace falta, or again is it subject dependent?
If I wanted to say 'we need to sand the furniture' do we say 'hacen falta lijar los muebles' as muebles is plural?
Gracias,
Is there any problem with adding "se" to the verb "reír" here?

What am I missing? The lesson says that all three options are interchangeable, but the test result says that I got it almost correct when I chose "podía haber reducido" instead of "podría haber reducido."
I think it would be very helpful if you gave the literal translations of sentences as well as the conversational translation. I have been assigning wrong meanings to words...
Me pediste perdón.You apologised to me.
Is there a separate word for "apologise" ?
Kwizbot says the correct answer is "Enciendes tú." Why does excluding the "tú" make my answer incorrect?
In the quiz, I got the sentence
Antes de que tú digas nada, .... ( before you say anything )
Why is 'nada' here ? Can it be 'algo' ?
Another example from the other lesson is, though I don't remember the exact phase but it's like
No creo que hayan llegado todavía.
The original phase to be denied should be 'han llegado ya'. Again, why it changed to 'todavía' ?
I agree that whole expression has something negative, which hasn't happened yet. But I'm confused, because the phase in 'que' is totally affirmative.
So the expression in 'que' isn't independent from its use ? And how ?
I was lead to believe that Que is used with Estar and Cual with Ser.
