In question #1 where it says we are and the continuing form of the verb, I used estar + continuing form of verb and it was wrong.  But in question #6, it is the same questions and I used estar + continuing form of the verb and the answer was right.  What is the difference?

I'm having trouble with sentir and sentirse, sentir is what you feel and sentirse is how you feel. I put "I feel scared" in Spanishdict translator and it said "siento miedo" but in Kwizik "I feel emotional" is "ME siento emocionada". Unless Spanishdict is wrong, I can't see how I feel scared and I feel emotional are different?

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!

This question: "Dime ________ te vas a ir de aquí." I think this could be interpreted in two ways, but perhaps there are other grammatical considerations that mean only one works. If the sentence is intended to mean, "tell me now at what point in the future you are leaving here", then 'cuándo' seems correct. On the other hand, if what is meant is "at the future point in time that you are leaving here, tell me", then I *think* it would be 'cuando' with no accent?

Incidentally, I have been through several rounds with tech support and I still never receive notifications of new answers. I get notified when somebody likes my question and I get Shui's suggestion every day, but only twice have I ever gotten email notifications of answers to questions. I do appreciate that questions are now marked as having answers, although that doesn't really serve to notify if there are additional answers since last I checked. 

When speaking of a location, such as the Canary Islands, would it not be the more permanent ser and not estar. I guess I don't have a clear understanding of the to verbs.

How to we express to brainwash someone? For example: Luis brainwashed the whole group into believing he was a god.

Thank you

Hello!  I was always taught that "asistir" was a false cognate to "assist" (to aid/help) in English.  My understanding was that "asistir a" means "to attend," either attending an event/school, etc. or to wait on someone.  Can you please clarify whether "asistir" in fact can be used to mean "to assist"?  Thank you!

Can I opt out of using the vosotros form?
