Re: Sentence: and
eats a lot of fruit and vegetables.
Kwizbot y
come mucha fruta y verdura.
You
could also say: y come mucha fruta
y verduras.
I was wondering why both fruta and verdura are not plural,
2) I really like all your exercises, and do appreciate your adding "You could also say sections". I have noticed that these (so far that I've seen) are basically
synonyms. Are there instances where you show how the sentence could be constructed differently and still have the same meaning (syntax /word order wise). I know that Spanish is a very pliant language that way, but I know that there are some things that are not acceptable (like any language) and find this would be helpful.
Thank you so much for the great work that you all do!

In: Level B2, Verbs Tenses & Conjugation, Modo indicativo, Modo subjuntivo, Oración subordinada temporal
1. Cuando is always used with past tenses in the indicative ….
2. If we use past tenses in the subjunctive with Cuando …
There appears to be a direct contradiction above:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In statement #1, it is stated that Cuando must be in the indicative mood
in statement #2, it is stated that Cuando may be in the subjunctive mood.

In the following quiz question:
He leído un libro de ________leyendas. I have read a book about great legends.I responded with “gran” but the answer “grande” was indicated. Is this by chance an error? It seems to me that the short-form meaning of “great/fantastic” fits best here.
It's a little unclear, but I think you're saying in this lesson that in English we couldn't use an imperfect tense, but although it might be less common, I've certainly heard people say things like "I wasn't finding my keys" to mean that they had been looking unsuccessfully but now had found them.
Hello,
When is a noun regular and when is it irregular?
Nouns that end with an -o or -a are regular and everything else is irregular?
Hola Inma,
Cociné esta comida la semana pasada y es aún mejor que se puede imaginar. La combinación de las verduras [pimientos rojas y verdes y tomates] en un caldo de pescado es perfecto para un día frío .... pero no te olvides al menos dos dientes de ajo. Las patatas terminan la textura del plato perfectamente. Tenemos la suerte tener pescaderías excelentes en nuestra región [de Irlanda] así que no es difícil comprar atún fresca.
Para información: El nombre inusual es de "Marmite" [de francés], que es una tipa de cacerola metálica con una tapa. "Marmitako" es lo que se llama en el país vasco. Además, en el oeste de Cantabria este plato se llama "Sorropotún," y en el este y en el centro de la costa, "Marmita." Todo el mundo debería probarlo. Saludos. John
Thank youShirley
Puedo escribir lo que quiera y no es tan agobiante como para que me lo encuentre dificilísimo y no quiera continuar. = I can write what I want and it’s not so overwhelming that I find it very difficult and do not want to continue. My question is why is para que used here? Does it carry the meaning of in order to, so that? Because translation shows otherwise not indicating the subordinate clause as goals. And tan… Como is used here. Does it have another meaning when used with para que ?
Got an answer wrong on a test, they said it was ordenador, I was only familiar with it as computadora
