Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hello, 

Why they used tardar not tomar as tardar means late.. ? 

Hello lovely Spanish speaking people, this comment is aimed at our lovely Kwiziq language content kings and queens.

The definite article, it's breaking me!  There seems to be a lot of micro learnings about the definite article through Kwiziq, and even some gems of information in this forum, but it's difficult.  I have a Spanish book that devotes 18 small font pages to when to use it and when not, but it won't stick.

Please could we consider a set of lessons (or the grouping of the current lessons) on how and when to use these tricky little items? I feel that it could be a subject all in itself.

I'm part way into level B1, so if they are in my future, I'm ok with that too.

Thanks

Why are there 2 conjugations for El Imperfecto de Subjuntivo?  Are they interchangeable? Do native speakers use both equally, or is one used much more than the other?

My question is about the quiz item: "El niño rubio con pantalones cortos es mi hermano."

Why was the article "los" not used before pantalones cortos? [e.g., El niño con los pantalones cortos es mi hermano.] An extension of my question here is that sometimes I notice a definite article is inserted while other times it is not. Therefore, what is the rule for using definite articles (los/las) in sentences of this type.

Saludos,

Pati E.

After explaining the whole story (which happened "hoy") with preterito perfecto , why did we use  Preterio Indefinido in the end? 

: el profesor me felicitó.

I thought it would have been "me ha felicitado"

Hi, 

I didn't get a reply to my question below, wondering if it fell through the cracks...

Thank you, Niocle

These verbs all mean "to turn", but are they the same?

Thank u so much

"El descuento está a 20% (ahora)". Is this a correct way to use this kind of costruct?

Thank you as always!

Using the example from above:

Tenía que conseguir cualquier trabajo, ya fuera de día o de noche.

I had to get a job, either a day job or a night job.

1) can it be used with MORE than 2 choices?

ex: "I had to get a job, either a day job, a night job, or a part-time job."

and

2) Not sure how ask gramatically... could it also be used in just 1 phrase?ex: "I had to get either a day job or a night job."

Thanks

Why did you put an accent on Cuanto más?
