The lesson doesn't seem to differentiate between these two words and the 2 quiz questions just require the same single word answer. Is there anywhere that explains the differences in more detail please?
In the phrase "Este domingo iré a comer a casa de mis padres", why isn't there an article (la) before "casa"?
Hola,
In the mornings, we sewed clothes with them,
Kwizbot Por las mañanas,
You En la mañana,
Could you please either let me know about the difference here or steer me to the related lesson.
And:
and that's how our day ended with them.
Kwizbot y así terminaba nuestro día con ellos.
You y asi fue como nuestro dia se terminaba con ellos
I was wondering if my sentence is in any way acceptable, or is it “spanglish” and why in either case.
Thank you for your help and Happy New Year to you and your team!

It's interesting to note that these two tense usages occur in English as well, e.g.
-- Oh, Albert's not at home. -- No, he was playing in a rugby match today, didn't he tell you?
-- What was the name, sir?
-- What were you asking for this painting?
-- Where were you going tomorrow?
Suppose I wanted to say something like, "I wouldn't have minded if they got married, I was seeing someone else", or "I didn't care if the wrecked their's appetite with ice cream, I wasn't going to make dinner anyway" is there no combination of tenses that would admit the use o "por mí que"?
The kwiziq page "Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons" (Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons) says
Hoy es lunes. = Today is Monday. ("Today" is singular.)
but
Son las tres de la tarde. = It's three o'clock in the afternoon. ("It" is plural.)
Why are these different?
I was lead to believe that Que is used with Estar and Cual with Ser.
Hi, are the following translations correct? Especially, I am a little confused about #2 (and #4), and wonder if "No creo que tú tuviera razón." is right for #2. Thank you.
1. I do not think you are right.: No creo que tú tengas razón.
2. I do not think you were right.: No creo que tú hayas tenido razón.
3. I did not think you were right.: No creía due tú tuviera razón.
4. I did not think you had been right.: No creía due tú hubiera tenido razón.
The phrase "para aprender a ser" is the "a" an idiomatic expression? is two consecutive infinitives incorrect?
This is from a recent Kwiz. I chose hacen instead of están. When I was looking at the English clue in the parentheses, it sounded "past tense " to me. That is not the case as están is a present tense verb. What is going on here?
