Hello!
When using phrases like, "The boy is still little." or "The girl is not little any more.", would one use a form of estar, or would a form or ser be used? Thank you for your help.

The test question was to conjugate maldecir into the "they" form but no explanation of how to do so was given, only for "decir" ("dicen"). But maldecir does not follow the same rule as "decir" it seem because the correct conjugation was shown to be "maldicen" (and not "maldecen," which would match the "decir" pattern). Why is there a difference in the conjugation pattern between decir and maldecir? Is there a rule to be learned? Thanks!
"Mis padres se animaron con la visita de mis sobrinos." I don't understand why this is animarse. They aren't cheering themselves up, they're being cheered up by the visit of mis sobrinos.
Do I need to use sino que when any conjugated verb follows, or only when the conjugated verb is different from the conjugated verb in the first clause? If the verbs are the same (vas a +infinitive) which is correct?
Is there a missing "s"? Wouldn't it be "los aplausos en las calles"?
Hola Inma,
The hint for the phrase "The clergy was the principal promotor ....." is to use the singular form of the verb for 'the clergy'." It should be singular form of the noun.
I enjoyed the history lesson in this exercise and definitely learned from seeing how the verbs "fundarse and instruirse" were used.
Saludos

In the sentence:
La bruja le maldice todos los años. (The witch curses him every year)
I expected it to read "lo maldice" to say "to curse him" where "him" would be the direct object. Why is it le?
I understand that No, Verdad are correct and taught in the lesson but is vale really wrong?
Sending love, prayers and positive thoughts to all in Kwiziq land.

Clara :)
