Can I use o instead of a in some cases? E.g. Prefieres agua o té. Prefieres ir a la playa o quedarte en casa?
Thank you
Could it be used with he comprado instead of compro?
I've learned to say "Me gusta la carne" for I like meat. Here is says "Me gusta comprar carne, pescado y verduras" with no definite articles. I can't work out why, can anyone help?
Hi,
I have just completed an A1 test where the missing word(s) were required in this sentence:
Siempre ________ confundo haciendo este ejercicio.
The hint was that the reflexive verb 'confundirse' was used.
My answer was 'Siempre yo me confundo ...' and was marked wrong. The correct answer dropped the 'yo'. Is that correct? Surely, both answers are correct, although mine may not be commonly spoken.
Best regards,
Colin
I kept expecting this to end with something like, “y la odio.” :)
Why is qué tal incorrect for how are you?
Hi Inma, this is one of the most difficult things for me to grasp, especially in the body of a sentence, please could you put this near the top of your list for new lessons?

Is there a lesson which develops this theme, and discusses when the definite article is used with the noun in the body of a sentence - and if there are times when this is not the case?
Thanks. John"
I don’t understand why my answer to this question is wrong, using the present perfect (ha trabajado). My understanding is that the present perfect can be used to describe actions that continue up to the present . May be the question to be translated should be ‘Juan has continued to work in the same company for 5 years’, then only use of the present (trabaja) would be correct. Or have I misunderstood?
For the question: Tengo dos compañeras simpáticas y salgo ________ cada viernes. I have two nice colleagues and I go out with them every Friday. (HINT: female colleagues)
Why isn't the answer "vosotras"? Wouldn't these colleagues be familiar enough? They go out for lunch every Friday!
