still not getting the clue.

I can't seem to get it right.

No me queda mucho dinero ________ tengo para dos cervezas más.

How come this should be 'pero'. I thought it was a substitute. First clause is negative and replaced by another, positive clause, hence I thought 'sino que'. Can one please point me to the critical part that would make me understand the difference? I feel so dumb.

Thank you in advance!

Notebook limits

I created about 24 personal notebooks, But in the pull-down Notebook window I can only see the first 20. Is there a way to see my other notebooks? Are we limited to 20 Notebooks each?

Según tú, ella tenía la culpa

Hi,

In the above sentence, could 'la culpa' be replaced with 'culpar'? This way it would be like English.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Colin

Keep in mind that this .....

Hola Inma,

Can you help me with the following. The alternative answers given are:

Ten en cuenta que esta ...... / Ten presente que esta / Recuerda que esta / No olvides que esta

I can't understand why a subjunctive spelling of recordar (recuerde) isn't used. It is probably for an obvious reason but I'm missing it.

Saludos. John

-cir verbs

Is there a rule for -cir and -cer verbs that are preceded by a consonant? Eg in a test the verb was zurcir in the yo form: zurzo and not zurzco, so does this form of verb only change the c > z as a rule?

Why está?

Why is está used for the sentence La mahonesa está deliciosa?

Is it because they're speaking about that specific mayonnaise rather than mayonnaise in general?

How often is this construction used

I would like to ask if this construction is often used in Spanish. Is it in some cases interchangeable with cuando? Can it also mean immediately after? E.g. : al regresar del museo me tumbé en la cama? Al plus infinitive seems to be a very convenient construction.

Pronunciacíon la verbos con ó por ejemplo empezó.

En el Fiesta del Olivo los verbos empezó y acabó suenan como oí (o oy ). Por eso no entiendo.
