In the lesson on using perfecto vs indefinido, above the "tip block", the term "El Preterito Perfecto" is used twice.  Probably the second use is an oversight.

Hi,

How would you confirm that you were talking about him and not her or your in the above sentence?

Thanks.

From the quiz:

Ben ________ la alarma.

Write ''Ben had been woken up by the alarm.

había sido despertado por

Could I also say, "A Ben le había despertado la alarma."?

Thank you.

Hola Kwiziq team

I can't find any on-line Spanish grammar text that indicates that "que" can be used in place of "porque" to begin an explanatory clause. I assume that that usage must be very colloquial and only used when talking with friends.  Am I correct about that?

Hola,

I understand the sentence above but I am new to using a pronoun with the infinitive of the verb.  Is there a lesson that covers this topic?  For example, how would you say 'I have something to tell them/you (plural)/him'?

Gracias.

Saludos,

Colin

On another course, an example conversation between novio and novia goes: “usted sabe que lo amo. Vayamos al cine, hay una película nueva que quiero que veamos. Me muero por que usted la vea”. It was partly my frustration that there was no explanation of the use of usted here that led me to look for another course. Can anyone here explain this to me? Is this a regional peculiarity? Maybe Colombia? Thanks.

"ordered"...not order

Could this be ¨no puedo dejar de pensar en ella¨ ?

Thanks

Does anyone know of a good free online language exchange?
