Hi!
So I used caer instead of colgar because I remembered caer being used as "to suspend" somewhere. Does it sound odd/wrong to use it like that?
Thank you!
Edit after I found the answer: Caer is INTRANSITIVE, can't use it like that. I found examples of how it works when used as "hang", but your thoughts are always appreciated!
Thanks,
Shirley.
When I look at these two examples from the English to the Spanish there is no clear indication of why the pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo is being used vs. the condicional.

If we hadn't bought this house, we would have had more money for holidays.
Si no hubiéramos comprado esta casa habríamos tenido más dinero para vacaciones.

The question (with no other information provided) is "Drive safely!. One of the options is "Conducir con cuidado".There is another lesson on Requests / Commands / instructions where if I have got it right the infinitive is used without the preopisiton "a".. Why doies it not work in this instance?
Why is the answer documental not documentario?
I have just started learning about Preterito indefinido and found that one question in the test required a preterito imperfecto answer which I have not yet learned. It is rather confusing .
Hola,
In the above phrase, could 'duchar' be used and what would the difference be in meaning?
Gracias y saludos.

fui a malaga por/en avion
Do both of these work?
I always thought ´por´ was correct/more used?
There was a test question that said ´8 a 10´ means the same thing as ´8 menos 10´ but this guide doesn´t mention it.
Are they interchangeable?
