Hello,
In the following sentence I expected está, as "but it is very cold". Have I got this wrong?
"El agua es clara, pero esta muy fría."
Thanks
and he suffered many storms during his journey.
HINT: journey = travesía.
Kwizbot y sufrió muchas tormentas durante su travesía.
You y sufraba muchas tormentas a través de su travesía .
Hello,
I was wondering why the preterit is used here and not the imperfect? I would have thought that these storms occurred throughout his journey, therefore the imperfect would be used?
Thank you for your help in clarifying this and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Wishing you the best New Year ever!

In the example sentence, “ Tengo que ir al supermercado. Me falta fruta y carne.”, should the verb be faltan, since the subject of the sentence is fruta y carne?
I have noticed from time to time, that "muy" can be placed in front of a noun to add emphasis to the nature of the noun it is modifying. For example: Marco es muy trabajador. Marco is a very hard worker.
Laura es muy cirujana. Laura is a very skilled surgeon.
Is this a legitimate usage for muy?
Hi,
Just wanted to share a thought as a person using this platform to learn Spanish. At the end of the exercise when you show the whole text in Spanish, I feel like it would be helpful if you showed the entire text in English as well, as it would help in trying to look back at how you translated everything as a whole.
However e > i verbs are different as they keep the e > i change all they way through their conjugation in El Presente de Subjuntivo.

If you wanted to say we like to run, would you still use 'gusta'? I.e. Nos gusta correr? and the same with Se gusta correr and Os gusta correr?
Gracias :)
' We must take to the pharmacy all medication which has expired'
Could this not mean 'all medication which may have expired' and therefore be subjunctive?
Hello,
I was wondering why the singular "el" is used in the sentence :
"y hace escala en el Amazonas, Barbados y Chile. " I would have thought it would be plural, as they are going to several destinations and if that doesn't factor in, then the Amazonas are plural or is that considered one country. Also, would it be correct to say: "y hace escala en Amazonas, Barbados y Chile. " and leave out the "el" ?
Thank you.
