Lo+ Adv/Adj + que + verb Que tan /cuan + Adv/ AdjHola Inma:
Are these
phrases interchangeable?
Lo+ Adv/Adj + que + verb
Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj
Let's use test question #3 for these purposes:
"¡____
es ese monumento!"
Of course the correct answer is:
"¡Lo feo que es ese monumento!"
With regard to this structure (Lo+ Adv/Adj + que + verb) the
lesson states it is used to express surprise/admiration/disappointment
about how something/someone performs an action or about what someone/something
is like.
The lesson for the
structure (Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj) states that it is used to ASK about
the degree or extent of a specific quality. Yet one of the example is
not a question:
"Carlos, muéstrale
a Valentina qué tan bien bailas merengue." The phrase is being used in
regard to a "specific quality," i.e., "... how well... ."
Question:for these purposes, is not ugliness a specific quality.
(a) if so, could we not also use the structure (Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj): ¡Qué
tan feo es ese monumento! Thank you
in advance.
I don’t see the “imperfecto” conjugation available in the drop down list….what is the correct answer!
There is a note at the top of this lesson informing me that it is a Europe focused lesson, (whereas my focus is Latin America).
I learned my Spanish from a combination of university classes and living in Guatemala, so I chose the Latin American option. (However, several members of my family have learned Peninsular Spanish.) Could you explain how this lesson would be different for Latin American Spanish?
The use of antes de/despues de is very familiar Spanish to me. I found the lesson to be easily understandable and had no problem with it, so I am curious as to why it is not considered to be Latin American Spanish.
Gracias y saludos

In Mexico we do not use the vosotros form and I wrote you about it and you said you were working on not using it for Spanish in Mexico. This lesson had half of the questions in this tense. This is wasting my money and time to learn what I do not need. Please give your students a way to avoid counting these questions. Thank you
These seem to be my achilleas heal.
hi, i read that this is a latin america lesson for a, en, por.
What would be the equivalent for spanish europe? i am a bit confused here.
and all 3 of them seems to be able to be used for time of the day, so does it mean we can choose any of it to use ?
thanks
I still don't get the difference. Always pick the incorrect answer in quiz.
Carlos no es mi primer marido.
.Why not primero?

Looking at Inma's
Sin/sin que + infinitive/subjuntive in Spanish (subordinate manner clause)%252Fsearch%253Fs%253Dsin%252Bque - and favouring the simpler construction when it is permitted, presumably we could also say? > "... [alcancen su potencial] sin verse afectada su integridad física y moral".
