Spanish language Q&A Forum

On a quiz question, my answer was marked wrong because I read "que se vaya" (irse) as "go away" instead of "is".  This seems wrong to me.  Irse means to GO away, not to BE away.  The suggested answers don't even test the difference between "por mi" and "para mi".

What does "Por mí que se vaya bien lejos." mean?

I didn't want him to be far away.

I don't care if he is far away.

He went away just for me.

In my opinion he should go far away.

I think I saw an earlier lesson when you use bastante and other words only in a singular form. But I can't find the other lesson. Hopefully you can direct me to the lesson :)

Hola Inma,

The question was given in this format "Está bien que vosotros ________ todas las noches."

It seems like an impersonal statement but isn't the usual structure Ser+Adjetivo+Que ..... hence: "Es bueno que leáis todas las noches?"

Saludos. John

I thought general experiences were talked about in the Imperfect.  The time markers given in this lesson match up with https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/learn/theme/746448.

And also this lesson seems to indicate using the Imperfect:

Using the imperfect tense in Spanish to express habits or repeated actions in the past (El Pretérito Imperfecto)

I’ve read the explanation for the lesson several times but I still can’t understand the answer from the quiz below:

Prompt: No fui al trabajo, ________ sino porque estaba enferma.

I didn't go to work, not because I didn't want to see my boss but because I was ill.

I am curious how this structure would work if the direct object is a pronoun, something like the following.

I had a beautiful beer mug.  I accidentally dropped it.

"El descuento está a 20% (ahora)". Is this a correct way to use this kind of costruct?

Thank you as always!

Why isn't it "aprender LA informática"? Is it because informática follows aprender?

Hola,

'Estamos a 28 de diciembre' should also be considered correct here, right?

I noticed in the given examples in the lesson for estar to talk about dates, that 'estamos a' is always followed by a date written in words. Is it acceptable to use 'estamos a' followed by a date in digits?

Thanks,

Benhur
