when we want to say a scary movie, or a funny movie etc, do we always use 'de' + whatever noun of the category?
for example, scary movie = pelicular de terror, pelicular de miedo. rather than pelicular asustado = scary in adjective forms rather than nouns.
Is there a rule for using the definite article in Spanish? It often trips me up. It doesn’t always follow the same pattern as English, eg in Castles text: …visitar castillos (no ‘los’, where in English there would be no ‘the’), but then:… la historia de los castillos medievales (in the English version there is no ‘the’, the history of medieval castles; the history of the medieval castles is not incorrect it just has a different meaning). Maybe, as in English, it’s very much about common usage and there’s no absolute rule.?
"Ella ha roto con él pero ________ así él sigue insistiendo.
She broke up with him but even so he keeps trying.
The quiz answer is aun así. But why can’t it be aún así in the sense of todavía? She broke up with him but he still keeps trying.
Why do we need a comma after a mí? Wherever I have seen, it appears without any comma.
Hi.... how do you choose between habia (etc) and hubiera/hubiese (etc). What are these called? Thanks in advance
After reading the recommended lesson at Spanish verbs Llevar vs Llevarse (pronominal verbs) [Lesson 9495; then look at: 'Getting along with people'] I am puzzled as to why the pronominal form of llevar was not permitted here: namely "Nos llevamos juntos tanto tiempo".
Sorry, i found the answer in the lesson.

Why is creer not the right verb for "she thought that" . Difference between pensar and creer please?
Could this be ¨no puedo dejar de pensar en ella¨ ?
Thanks
Why isn’t this considered an action that started in the past and is still ongoing?
