"Nicaragua está en el puesto número seis en la lista de ciudades seguras..." 

This has me confused because Nicaragua is not a city.  Maybe I'm misunderstanding the sentence?

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

2nd paragraph: Is there a lesson that discusses "que" used to mean "to be?"

I searched on "que" and got 1620 hits, so I scanned the first 60 and did not see "que" and "to be" in any lesson title.

Hola,

The third person plural form of the Present tense, (El Presente), and the Preterite tense, (El Preterito Indefinido), are identical for -ar verbs.

Since that is the case, may I suggest that there is a note about this in the lesson with a few examples to show how context can clarify which tense is being used? This would be very helpful. 

A simple chart comparing the present and past conjugations alongside each other of some common verbs such as 'trabajar' or 'hablar' would also be useful, especially for those learners who are very visual. 

Gracias y Saludos!

I have a Spanish grammar book that teaches this construction of the passive voice: ser + past participle + por... is this NOT correct? That same book does not mention using estar 

Just wondering, why is it muchas veces (as opposed to muchos veces - I thought masc. was the default)? Is it to match with nosotras? 

Thanks in advance! :)

There was a sentence about monuments that was asking me for which form of "arabe" that I should have used. I put "arabes" but it was marked wrong and it said that it should be arabe - is that correct and are there any more adjectives like this that are invariable in both the singular and plural?

What about the (even in English) problematic decade of 2000-2009? 

or 2010-2019 ?
