Word order in questionsIs word order important in questions? Years ago, I learned that when asking a question, the order should be verb then subject, but I've seen an example where the word order is reversed: "¿Miguel estará en la oficina?" I would have asked, "¿Estará Miguel en la oficina?" It seems important because often folks (even some native speakers) don't use an inflection in their voice when asking a question. By using verb then subject, it becomes clearer that it is a question.

¿Terminan el trabajo hoy? - Sí, lo terminan hoy. Are they finishing the job today? - Yes, they are finishing it today.

Why is lo the answer if its referring to them? Is el trabajo what lo is referring to?

Tiene marked incorrect

Hola Buenas dias,

Ustedes tiene was marked incorrect, as it is optional to used ustedes, it should be marked correct as in the

"Cuánto falta?" means "how much longer".

Can't it also mean "how much do I owe you?"

For example, if you're paying for something with cash and you gave them some bills but still owe them a few coins to reach the total..? (how many coins are still needed?)

Thank you!

"We were the ones who knocked on the door." Is that not a completed action rather than a repeated action? I don't understand why "éramos" is used.
