Exercise:The oldest man in the world Spanish
writing exercise
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!

Good topic. I hear these constructions a lot from my Mexican friends. Even in dance class the instructor used to say "¿Sale?" after teaching a new step.
I find that in general they use inverted constructions a lot in Mexico.
How would we put these constructions into question form? For example, could we ask "¿Cómo te sale?" to ask how something turned out?
Regarding the examples below, why is the subjunctive used rather than the imperative?
No cierres la ventana por favor, tengo calor.
Don't close the window please, I am hot.
Señores, cierren las carpetas ahora.
Gentlemen, close your folders now.
Thank you, James
Just did this lesson and saw the word "cross". Although it does make sense in old English and some people will still understand the meaning, it is definitely not a word that is used a lot among English speakers today. I think "angry" would be a better word and would reduce the likelihood of someone not understanding what it means.

Re: Mamá, ________ -Bien ¿y tú? Mum, how are you? -Good, and you?
In a test I just did, for the above question, I added: "¿cómo está?" but it was marked wrong.
I chose this, because in certain areas, children address their mother formally, so that is why I used the "formal" in this case. i know it is not common, but the test did say, some or all may be correct.
Thank you for your attention to this,

How does one conjugate the present subjunctive?
I just started B1 and am being tested on it already without having been introduced to it...?
Thanks!
I'm sure we all value the great work Inma, Silvia and the rest of the team do in answering all the questions we put to them on the Q&A Forum. I do. For me, this adds a lot to what makes Kwiziq such a valuable learning resource.
So, I think it would be a great idea to be able to add these replies to a seperate notebook. This would not only allow for revision, but also give me some reference to go every time I think, "Hmmm, I'm sure someone gave me a really useful answer on this already!"
