Spanish language Q&A Forum

Why is "You will see..." translated to a command (Mira que...) whereas "Your will forget..." is translated to the future (olvidarás)? The structures appear to be the same.

Hola, 

Update - I just found the lesson on this.  When to use the perfect tense versus the simple past (Perfecto vs Indefinido)

I live in the US and just switched to Latin American Spanish, since it is more likely Spanish speakers I meet will speak this way.  I am curious if El Pretérito Perfecto is used in LatAm Spanish when not talking about experiences.  

A grammer question: 

I have been a member of- he sido miembro del...

Why there is no uno like in English - he sido uno miembro (this sentence is a mistake).

What type of usage would this be for le… if it was “le preocupa” or “le alegra” etc. Like “le alegra que ella haya dicho si a una cita” or “y hay otras cosas que le alegran” what is the le in these sentences or who is? Lastly “y le gustan muchas cosas de su perfil” thank you! 

Hello is this verb correct- "arrascar"? I didn't find it in the spanishdict.com and other dictionaries I use. There is only "rascar". 

Is it okay to use one of your sentences in my Cantonese and Mandarin language learning video? I want to show repetition of words in different languages and would like to use your: Lo que se dice dolor dolor no tengo. If you're okay with my using your sentence, I will of course credit you and have a link to your website.

RE: Chupachups (B2) Spanish writing exercise

Sentence:  and about 800 lollipops were produced a day.

Kwizbot: y se producían unos 800 chupachups al día.

Is there any other way this sentence could be constructed, and if so, what, and if not, why not? And what are the rules pertaining to this. 

I know that Spanish is pretty flexible, where I get tangled up, is where it’s not flexible in sentence structure.  i.e. what things are “verboten”?  Thank you, I appreciate any help in this area.

My boyfriend is from Mexico and he says it should be "siempre cuando", and not siempre que, he said siempre que sounds like I am saying " we will hire the new teacher always when we have the budget" and not as long as we have 

i have read somewhere that perfect tense could be used too

for example, he estudiado desde hace 6 meses. = estudio desde hace 6 meses.

is this piece of information wrong? when can we use perfect tense then?

"And the experience was horrible" "

Ya ha sido una experiencia horrorosa"

Why did we use "Perfecto" instead of "Imperfecto"? I'm so confused! 

And also "El camping estaba muy sucio"

Can't we use "Era" here ???
