I understand when the pronoun replace a thing use Los or Las, lo or la but the quiz is using Los to replace a miguel y a Jose. is the hing that an artricle is in front of the names
I hope this might serve a beneficial purpose. I just had a conversation with someone in México (also a degreed Spanish teacher). During the conversation I thought I would tryout the new phrase I learned here; I used the phrase "Estar deseando + infinitive in our conversation: "Hija, estoy deseando pasar tiempo contigo en La Navidad." She advised that, while she understood what I was saying, it is not commonly used there and it sounded a bit odd, as if I was translating exactly from English. She wondered if was mostly used in Spain. She advised that Spanish speakers in México are more likely to use - admittedly, colloquially- "Ya + verb Querer:"Ya quiero que pase tiempo contigo en La Navidad." This translates to: "I am looking forward spending time with you at Christmas." As for the phrase "Tener ganas," she agreed that it could mean " looking forward to," but in México it is more associated with " I feel like ( doing/ having something)."
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
Hola,
I think “les” is an indirect object pronoun in this phrase. I thought a direct object pronoun would be used because it is “we helped them.” We are the subject they are the direct object. Can you explain?
Many thanks. John
After 20 minutes of trying to hack through what I thought was an A2 exercise, and feeling very very stupid, I noticed that the B2 and A2 exercises have been placed on the wrong links! Well I have learned that I'm definitely not at B2 level, and hopefully the A2 exercise will me more simple!
Hi,
I find some of the recorded examples too fast to clearly hear the pronunciation. Is there a way of slowing it on replay?
This leads to another question: when Spanish is spoken quickly, can some of the sounds be omitted or words run together.
Thank you.

Example in the quiz: ¿Cuanto tiempo has tardado en hacer ese proyecto?
Could that also be said as ¿Cuanto tiempo tardaste en hacer ese proyecto?
In other lessons, it’s been mentioned that Peninsular Spanish more commonly uses the Pretérito Perfecto where LatAm Spanish uses the Pretérito indefinido in similar contexts. Would that difference apply here?
