¿Probaste muchos platos exóticos en el evento gastronómico? Sí, probé ALGUNO.
Ricardo fue a París a ver museos y visitó ALGUNOS.
I can’t see the difference. Can anyone help?
Having read the lesson, the mini test asked me to select the right gerund of traer. While I chose correctly, it wasn't clear from the lesson wether or not it should be with the 'y' or not, so traiendo or trayendo.
What part of the lesson did I not recognise in which category to fit 'traer' ?
In answering this question, I used "excepto por". The lesson doesn't cover this option, but I have seen it in written Spanish.
Except for the white one, all the t-shirts are cool.
I know that the lesson is about the use of the infinitive as a noun, but why would the use of an actual noun be wrong as in:- "Planificacion" (With an accent on the "o")

Hi, regarding por meaning “to” here, i searched “por” and found a lesson on “por for general destination”. Would that apply in this case? Gracias, Shirley.
Hola Inma,
Just wanted to ask if it would be possible to cover 'aguantar' at some point when you have time? It's a word that I often remember hearing as a young child. I think it'd be a good word to cover as it seems that it's often used in Spanish.
Gracias y saludos :)
Hola,
In a show a character says "La muerte de mi hija no iba ser una excepción." Why is it "no iba ser" rather than "no iba a ser"? What is the grammatical rule here?
Muchas gracias!
Finding this lesson on Kwiziq has proved a real revelation for me! I've been learning Spanish for the last 3-4 years through online courses geared toward Latin American Spanish and wasn't aware of this difference. I've always been aware of some regional vocabulary differences but, since I've geared my learning toward Peninsular Spanish (which I need), I'm now finding quite a few grammatical differences too. I had seen the perfect used in this way in El País articles and books etc but I'd not been able to find any resource that actually explained it... until now!
Could you answer how specific times might influence choose of tense?
I spoke to him at 3am this morning
His flight left at 6pm today
These specific times seem to indicate start and finish times. Do they point toward preterite?
In the test, the sentence 'No es verdad que ________ siempre los papeles al suelo.' gave the answer as 'tiremos', and marked 'tiramos' as incorrect. So does this mean that if you present something as true, you use the indicative, but if you say something is not true, or that the truth is a negative, you use the subjunctive? I thought, in saying it is not true, the sentence was presenting something as a fact, and therefore the indicative would apply.
Why the modal verb in the first word used to tuvo que, rather than same with the second word modal verb when they mean was both had to ???
