Spanish language Q&A Forum

Several of my answers in several tests are misrecorded. I answered one way and it says I answered something else. What's going on?

Also, you should have explained that capitalizing, punctuation and accents must be correct. I was marked wrong for not putting a period at the end nd not capitalizing at the beginning. I don't mind but I would like to have known before i took the test.

Tú comerías más sano con nosotros.

Hi, why is this sano and not sanamente? Just wondering because it's translated as healthily.

It seems like one of the quiz questions and the examples you give for past participles use the pretérito perfecto for what should be the pretérito indefinido as translated from English. Examples: we wouldn’t say I’ve written to my girlfriend if we wanted to say I wrote to my girlfriend or I’ve returned from work for I returned from work. Please explain why the perfecto is used in the statements and not the indefinido. 

Hello all,

I’m very new to Spanish. 

Im looking for a lesson on general numbers, but can’t see one. There are some on big numbers, but nothing on numbers like 23, 59,73,98,123 etc. 

Can anyone please point me in the right direction ?

Gracias 

Me llamo Richard

What do you mean by "the condition is impossible"?

There seem be so many ways to say this in Spanish: "fuimos a dar un paseo" is one I hear a lot.  "Hemos paseado" (or "hemos caminado") translates as "we have walked" rather than "went for,.".   It's very confusing! 

Thanks.

Hola,

As a matter of interest, what would the difference in meaning be if 'por' were substituted for 'para'.

The online translator I use says that they are the same.

Gracias.

I have noticed in general that spanish speakers have different intonations at the end of sentences or part of sentences which confuse the listener and in dictations result in incorrect  punctuation.
