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

Dame todo ________ tengas en el bolso.Give me everything you have in your handbag.
lo que was the correct answer. cuanto marked wrong.
Why is cuanto wrong in this question?
It seems to me that there are examples of both Indicative and subjunctive for the main clause in the lesson, yet when I use indicative in the tests it is always marked wrong. Please explain.

I can't find a translation of "librerias que bares"
Would you please complete the lesson by commenting on whether they can ever be mixed? In the event I do, am I totally wrong? Thanks.
Hi, translators are saying it should be:
Qué día tan maravilloso
but
Qué terrible accidente
Can you explain the different placement of the adjective in these examples please? And why "qué accidente tan terrible" doesnt' seem to be an option?
Thanks,
Jenny
The first part of the sentence/question seems to be pronounced incorrectly in the recording.
Is usamos wrong here instead of llevamos?
1:30 is more than 1:00. 1 = es. Me imagino que más que uno debe estar "son", no? Or are all hours plural even when they're not?
La Kwiziq FAQ me dice que puedo "kwiz" un tema tanto"s veces que quiero si está en mi "notebook." He encontrado que si toma un "kwiz" y lo falla, cuando quiero tomarlo otra vez dice "You took this Kwiz XXX hours, XX minutes ago.
This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.
Puedo hacer cliq en "my notebook" y encontrar la lección que quiero estudiar y kwiz más. Pero dice lo mismo al fondo - que ya he tomado el Kwiz y tengo que ir a mi notebook si quiera kwiz otra vez. Excepto ya estoy en mi notebook. ¿Qué pasa? ¡Gracias!
