Confession. I always cheat on questions regarding the second person plural because I live in California where I have frequent opportunities to use Spanish and hope to have more both at home and in travels to Central and South America. No disrespect to Spain, but is there any way to alter my tests so they exclude questions which test Spanish as it's spoken in Spain. Thanks.
Hi Inma, a suggestion, give an example with decir. Or would this be incorrect? E.g. Le dijo a ella. He told her. (She is affected in some way by him telling her).
The lesson suggests that the use of adónde vs dónde is dependant on whether a verb of movement follows.
However, in a Kwiziq question "Luis me dijo _______ había ido de vacaciones" we are only given the options donde or dónde. But 'ir' seems to suggest adónde (Luis told me to where he went).
So, is it that 'ir' is in past perfect here (and that the movement is finished) that 'adónde' is not a valid option in this case?

Hi, I can't find a good translation for "anima al paciente y su cuerpo sana antes."
Can anyone help?
In the article on masculine gender the example given is "Tiene dos hijos, Laura y Antonio." The translation is They have two children... " I thought it the verb should be "Tienen" since there are two people being referred to. Is the example correct and, if so, can you provide an explanation?
Why is the translation la llegada de la primavera?
Why do I need a definite article in front of primavera?
I am struggling with identifying indirect interrogative sentences in spanish. For example, what makes "Cristina no sabe dónde todavía va a celebrar su cumpleaños" an indirect interrogative sentence, but not "Viajaremos adonde nos recomiende el agente de viajes. Can you explain this please or refer me to a lesson that does? Thanks.
consider:
(1) she has made many sacrifices for her children
(2) she has made many books for her children
why
in (1) "for" --> por
in (2) "for" --> para
Why does this sentence have "lo"? Doesn't dejaron todo mean they left everything?
