It might be worth mentioning in Kwiziq's lesson Ya sea/ya fuera... o... to express whether... or... - [number 8284] that verbs [usually?] take the subjunctive when they are governed directly by "ya sea (que)..."

Hola Inma,

Just to say that this is a great lesson, and goes a long way to making clear something that I have found very difficult.

Thanks a million. John

Do I understand correctly that this sentence implies that it took today or even a short time ago?

Why is the last sentence written as "y no abusemos de ellas"? I thought that it should be "no las abusemos". Is there a rule for when you put "de ellas" at the end of the sentence? I thought that you weren't allowed to have pronouns on the end of sentences in Spanish. 

This is an interesting construction. is there a lesson that deals with it?

It would seem to me that 'a su madre' should be after ve. could K say ... ve a su madre llegar?

I put argentina nacional instead of nacional argentina. Can't the adjective go after the noun here or does it have to be before it? Thanks.

I'm confused by the English translation: (I didn't have any chewing gum in my pocket.) for No llevaba ningún chicle en el bosillo. 

Question: Why is this not "No tenía ningún ...?

The translation I remember of llevar from an earlier lesson is to take.

Am I wrong here? Please clarify.

Hello,

I was wondering why the singular "el" is used in the sentence : 

"y hace escala en el Amazonas, Barbados y Chile. "  I would have thought it would be plural, as they are going to several destinations and if that doesn't factor in, then the Amazonas are plural or is that considered one country. Also, would it be correct to say: "y hace escala en Amazonas, Barbados y Chile. "  and leave out the "el" ?

Thank you.
