If this is Europe-focused, how do Latin American Spanish speakers talk about weather?

I currently am focusing on Latin American Spanish, specifically Mexican Spanish / Californian. What are the differences in vocabulary?

Another column with examples

Would be great to have another column in the table above with example sentences, or just the verb in action.

I know e.g. how to use "doler" -> me/te/etc. duele, but I don't know it for e.g. "caer bien".

That way I wouldn't need to change the tab and tell ChatGPT to write down the examples.

Is it better to use "El Pretérito Imperfecto" or the imperfect continuous here?1Vosotros ________ las bebidas mientras nosotros comíamos.You were buying the drinks while we ate.(HINT: Conjugate "comprar" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.)comprabaiscompraréishabéis compradocomprar

Would it not be better to translate this  as "Estabais comprando las bebidas mientras comíamos." ?

El gobierno ha invertido ________ dólares en el sector de la educación.

Hola,

In the sentence above, which was in a test today, is 'la' necessary?  I would have thought that it would be 'de educación'.

By the way, I cannot type accents in this dialogue box, I cut and paste from my word processor.  Is there a way to type accents in here?

Also another answer is mixed up:

Prefiero ________ armario porque es más grande. because it is bigger.)I prefer that wardrobe (over there(HINT: The speaker is referring to a wardrobe that is far away from the speaker and the listener.)

Gracias y saludos,

Colin

This usage is also common in colloquial English.

Examples: "What you did was well out of order" (very wrong).  "My dog's well hard" (very tough). "I'm well chuffed" (very pleased). "He was well choked" (very disappointed).
