Can the speaker say, ¨Ojalá aprueba el examen¨
or does he have to say it the other way, ¨Espero aprobar el examen.¨
Thanks.
Hello,
The last sentence in this quiz confuses me.
I understood that estar is used with feelings such as “be happy” as it is temporary. But with this “goal” after “para” you have used ser.
Please would you explain why this “to be” is ser?
Thank you.
Do I understand correctly that both tenses are possible? If so, is there a difference in meaning or are they interchangeable?
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?
When working through the exercise, "En la televisión anunciaron nuevas medidas económicas …" was accepted as correct, but in the final version [which gets read to us at the end], "En la televisión anunciaban nuevas medidas económicas" was preferred... > This is not really a criticism or a question, because a good case can be made for each of those^ tenses - but you might like to cover that point to reassure us.
Just to say thank you for this great explanation here! I don’t remember reading this lesson before and I’m really glad I’ve found it now via the Q&A forum. Whenever I consider ‘sino’ I think of the word ‘instead’... I also didn’t know about ‘sino que’. Great lesson!
Gracias y saludos.

I said this phrase was incorrect as I though the a in ave would change the una to an un.
However I was marked wrong and apparently it is a correct phrase.
Is this another exception to the rule?
The phrase: y así devolver a esas personas un poco de su ayuda en el pasado.
I can't figure out from the literal tx whether the "de" should be "por":
y así devolver a esas personas un poco por su ayuda en el pasado.
If the intent is thank the older generation for their past help, surely "por" is more appropriate, no? Or does "de" somehow imply "for"?
