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,
Nicole
Let's see -at what moment in time?- you find a good job!
Let's see - at the time that- you find a good job!
As you can see both options work in this context, and I can use lots of examples like this but to understand the difference we need sentences which cannot work as both options
Could you please present a couple of formats for questions in Spanish that would likely elicit answers using the "llevar + gerundio" response? Are the questions in the present tense? (The questions in English would be similar to: How long have you been studying? How many hours has he been waiting?) Thank you.
How could we get to know that this exact word is a stem changing verb? Isn’t there any recognition for them?
Question re: So as to not fall in the water.
Kwizbot para que no nos caigamos en el agua.
You para que no caernos en el agua.
You could also say: para no caernos en el agua.
Hola,
I was very curious to see that the “que” was dropped in the 2nd answer.
Could you please explain why? And why it is needed in the first sentence and would not be used in my answer.
Thank you so much!

¿________ miraron los bolsos al entrar en el concierto? (Did they check their bags when entering the concert?
The 2 correct answers were, "A ellas les" and "Les"
==========================================
Why is ellas used with the masculine object, los bolsos?
Thank you, James
This lesson is too long and too confusing. It should be broken up into 6 separate lessons to allow to handle one meaning at a time.
I saw the following on a back machine recently ‘ puedes operar con cualquiera de las tarjetas de crédito’. How does this fit with the contents of this lesson please
Hola Inma,
Regarding the sentence "¿A quién no le gustaría quedarse en un lugar así? With the meaning "who would not like to stay in a place like this" I expected that the subjunctive may be needed, though exactly how this would work with the conditional is beyond me. Perhaps the inference is that absolutely nobody would refuse to stay there but I am speculating. Can you help?
Saludos
John
