Why is the present subjunctive not more correct for the following sentence? The lesson says it should be the imperfect subjunctive...but I think this is incorrect; this would require it be "you have had" rather than "you have"

"Maybe you have lots of friends in England"

The example in this lesson uses the imperfective. Are there also circumstances in which the pretérito would be appropriate to talk about ownership?

Hi there, I find the adjective position of "la nueva red 5G" very interesting here.  I can see how it could also be "la red 5G nueva".
I'm a telecoms engineer (ex Telefonica) and technically the 5G network is "brand new" and "newly created" and it is not intended to replace the other networks of 2G, 3G, 4G etc at the time if it's creation.  I'd say that both adjective placements could be argued for in this exercise.

Podemos cambiar que por la preposición para? No hay alimentos para comer?

Hola to whoever sees this:

Last translation in the exercise: 

and their history is interesting.

Kwizbot y su historia es interesante. 

You y su historia está interesante.

I was wondering why ser is used here instead of estar.

Thank you. Nicole

Re: Exercise: Spanish dictation exercise

SOPHIA OF GREECE AND DENMARK (A1)

Line: Doña Sofía habla 5 idiomas;

1) This is not pertaining specifically to this section, but it brought up something that I have been noticing: that the “s” has a tendency to be dropped, whether in real life, or songs, etc

      I am French from Quebec, and in French, the “s’s” are silent for the most part. I have a feeling Spanish is moving towards that, whether acceptable grammaticaly, or not; by the powers that be J

My question is, what are the “rules” or guidelines for when to make the “s” silent (or skipped).

2) Also, is there a rule where numbers would be written in numerals or in script?

I wrote “cinco” but it was corrected to “5”

3) Also, Kwizbot added a semi-colon at the end of this section, other times I put in a comma, and it strikes it, other times I don’t and there’s a comma.  Notwithstanding that, it’s a bit difficult to know from the audio.  (I’m not faulting that, just a note, but I appreciate the fact that it’s noted, as that is a good way to learnJ)

I did a search on your site for lessons in “punctuation” but didn’t find any.  Could you direct me to any?

Sorry about all these questions, these quizzes really get me thinking, and I think that’s a good thing. J

Thank you for being there and your patience with us learnersJ

Nosotros le reconoceríamos sólo por su figura

(the lesson was for irregular verbs Saber and Caber)

Why does árabe have two accent marks?

Hi, I can't find a good translation for "anima al paciente y su cuerpo sana antes."

Can anyone help?
