Hola Inma,

I' m a bit confused with the articles. Why not el Salvador Dalí era un pintor? In a lesson of yours I read: 

El Quijote fue escrito por Miguel de Cervantes.

El señor López era muy valorado por todos los vecinos.

Te agradezco mucho tus respuestas muy útiles!

Hi,

I am trying to determine the part of speech of the phrase 'cómo reaccionaría'.

What form of the verb reaccionar is 'reaccionaría'?  I cannot find it in the verb tables I use.

Thanks.

Colin

How do we know if a noun is masculine or feminine in Spanish if it a new word to us?  Is there a clue I am missing or is it just a guess?

Seria genial que añadieran preguntas de comprensión lectora al final de cada lectura. A mis estudiantes les encantarían!

These seem to be my achilleas heal.

Line: Kwizbot no puedo esperar a ver todas esas pintura rupestres. 

You         no puedo esperar a ver todas esas pinturas ropestres.

Could you explain why there is no “S” on pintura.  Is this a special case? if so what lesson would attach to this? 

Thank you,

Nicole

Looking at: "... fue la capital del Califato … que fue proclamado por Abderramán III en 929" > My first thoughts were that AbdulRahman III had perhaps proclaimed Córdoba as his capital in 929 AD, which would have required "proclamada" to agree with the feminine noun "capital". Then I remembered that he had actually declared himself [very controversially !] to be "the Caliph of all Muslims, everywhere" (including those in Baghdad, and Syria, and even those in the Fatimid Empire in North Africa !) - so "proclamado" presumably agrees with "Califato"?

As I'm sure Inma knows, Seville was the first capital of Al-Ándalus [was it?], and Abdul-Rahman the First transferred his seat of power to Córdoba in 766 AD.

hi, why is this not considered subjunctive tense?
