Hi...
My name is Zotya and I wonder how I can expect it to be pronounced by Spanish people when I arrive there in October.
I am specifically interested because if the first letter "Z".
Thank you all.
I wrote "La familia está" since it seems to discuss a relationship. The correct answer is given as "La familia es". So, "es" seems to be a strong opinion. Couldn't both be correct?
Also, the issue with my answer doesn't really relate to plural versus singular ("es" vs "está").
Hi,
In "... hacer la compra." could 'las compras' have been used instead?
Which is better?
Thanks.

You wrote : "¡Cómo no, por supuesto!" but isn't it the same thing two times? What is the difference between "cómo no" and "por supuesto"?
Hi!
I noticed that when writing that "you" like something, you change the tú form from "vas a" to "va a" even though you are writing that "you" will like something. For example, the sentence "you are going to like this therapy" is written as "Te va a gustar...." instead of "Te vas a gustar..." even though you are not instructed to write in usted form. Could someone please explain why this is?
Thank you!
why does dar conjugate the preterite as an "ir"verb
Is there a subtle difference implied between "asi" and "así que", or is the difference not so subtle?
Just a comment. I think this subject is difficult without making the English incorrect. It becomes much more understandable when the translation is made using correct English. Some examples:
¿A quién le enviaste la carta?
Who did you send the letter to?
The English should be: To whom did you send the letter?
¿Para quién has comprado esas flores tan bonitas?
Who have you bought such pretty flowers for?
The English should be: For whom have you bought such pretty flowers?
¿Con quiénes vais de vacaciones?
Who are you going on holiday with?
The English should be: With whom are you going on holiday?
¿Por quién harías una locura?
Who would you do something crazy for?
The English should be: For whom would you do something crazy?
This does not include all the examples, but it is enough to see the problem.
