¡Hola! ¿Por qué usamos el verbo "toques" aquí? ¿No debería usar "toca" si estamos dando un consejo (tú afirmativo)? Supongo que esto es porque estamos dando un comando negativo, es decir "nunca toques" significa el mismo que "no toques". ¿Es correcto? Si es así, creo que una lección correspondiente debería estar vinculada a la oración (Forming the Spanish imperative of tú/ vosotros/vosotras (negative commands)).
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?

JohnB2Kwiziq Q&A regular contributorIncluding the definite articleHola,
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 have a comment about the following:
-Ayer tomamos una decisión. -Habréis tomado una decisión, pero el problema surgirá de nuevo, estoy seguro.-We took a decision yesterday. -You may have taken a decision, but this problem will come up again, I am sure.I have checked a lot of resources (people I know, as well as reliable British English online resources), and the correct phrase with "decision" is "to make a decision." Thus, it should be: "We made a decision yesterday." and "You may have made a decision but ..." Thank you.
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!
The construction "... te permitirá conocer personas" reminded me that the personal "a" is inserted only if the object of the verb is a known human being - specifically identified .. Thank you !
[I am sure this is mentioned somewhere in one of your lessons, is it?]
I had always learned and also read stories in books where conversations began and ended with a long dash, (un guion). The grandma was always saying ends with a colon. I expected a guion at the beginning of what she said and also the first letter of her first word to be Capitalized. I am confused.
Is this true for all regular verbs (-ar, -ir, -er)?
Please, what is the difference between usted, ustedes and vosotros?
