I am confused because we are practicing the present tense of the verb but why are the examples in the present continuous?

Test Question does not make sense

The test question and answer does not seem to make sense for this lesson about the al contraction. The question was: Tenemos que ir ________ estación de Atocha en Madrid. We need to go to Atocha station in Madrid.

First, "We need" is necisitamos. Tenemos que is "We have to"

Second, this is a question about the al and del contractions, but the answer to this question is "a la" so I do not understand the test question.

casas colgadas?

Shouldn't it be 'casas colgandas?' since it is used as an active form as in english 'hanging'?

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

Re Lesson referred in your reply to Marco's question

Hola Inma,

I couldn't find the link for the lesson you referred to in your reply, despite doing a search here.

"Do we use "iba" to show intention?"

Could you please give me the link. And Happy New Year!

Thank you,

Nicole

Not B1 subject rather C1

I think this lesson should be in a C1 category as it is very subtle. I just cannot see the difference in the meaning of the first two sentences,,,,estoy&esté. Maybe you could provide better examples or explanations on this point of grammar

Nicaragua isn't a city

"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?

"piénsatelo dos veces" ... think about it twice

Hola Inma, I have been trying to work out why both direct and indirect objects are present here.

I can't find a reference for a pronominal form of pensar, but on doing the exercise a second time, I noticed that the lesson for the se aspectual was listed as being relevant. Poder isn't given as one of the verbs that typically can take this construction, but does this explain why the reflexive pronoun is being used here, making the verb poder more "intense / complete" as explained in the example of "irse" in the lesson; .... or is there another explanation altogether. Espero que puedas ayudarme. Saludos. John
