When talking about unknown information, use cuándo.

When talking about known information, use cuando.

Will this always work?

Thanks.

Re: Mamá, ________ -Bien ¿y tú?  Mum, how are you? -Good, and you?

In a test I just did, for the above question, I added: "¿cómo está?" but it was marked wrong. 

I chose this, because in certain areas, children address their mother formally, so that is why I used the "formal" in this case.  i know it is not common, but the test did say, some or all may be correct.

Thank you for your attention to this,

I came across a sentence in a book I was reading and it said, 

"ya no se sienten ganas de beber"

I understand "ganas" as a noun meaning that they are stating they do not have the "desire" to drink I think. 

Why is sentirse used instead of sentir when "ganas" is the direct object?

Thank you

If you wanted to say we like to run, would you still use 'gusta'? I.e. Nos gusta correr? and the same with Se gusta correr and Os gusta correr? 

Gracias :)

Well, I guess if that's how they speak in Argentina, I won't be visiing there soon, if ever. Apart from the yeismo, the speaker articulated more through her nose than through the mouth (French-style) making her words almost impossible to understand. Good, clear Spanish is my aim.

The lesson says that gustaría is only used in the third person singular. However, what if the things that would be liked are nouns, not verbs. Wouldn’t the plural be used to reflect this, as an example “nos gustarían unas cervezas” - we would like some beers?

If I want to say:  "You bought more than enough"

Is there any significant difference between:

Compraste más que suficiente

and 

Compraste más que bastante

or are they essentially synonymous?

is there supposed to be a mini quiz at the end of this? because nothing is showing up. 

So does the future perfect of indicative adequately express the idea of “must”?
