Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hola a todos. I primarily use SpanishDict.com for my Spanish-English dictionary. Has anyone run across other options you like for LatAm Spanish? Gracias de antemano por sus sugerencias. 

In this question I answered "éramos" instead of "fuimos" since the text referred to "used to be."  Why was that wrong? I get that  the "completed action in the past" hint confused the situation. Shouldn't the question be clarified, or am I missing something here? 
Nosotros ________ muy buenos estudiantes.We used to be very good students.(HINT: Refers to a completed action in the past.)

From the lesson:

"Note that while "fue" is generally translated into "was" in English, "era" can be translated into "was", "used to be" and "would be"."

To say sth is protected, are está and es interchangeable or is one preferred than the other?

I wish there were a lesson explaining how the use of articles in Spanish differs from English.  For example, "he has a good heart" is "tiene buen corazon" not "un buen corazon".  Another example, "I will be in the first row" is "estare en primera fila" and not "en la primera fila".

Estoy referido al ejercicio: "El Real Madrid marcó menos goles (de/que) goles de Barça este año. 

Más de/menos de, se usan en candidades, no? En el ejercicio anterior los goles se refierien a una cantidad, creo yo.

Gracias y le agradezco.

The accent is misplaced on "éramos."

There should be no accent on "di."

Es un poco raro, que los moros no son mencionado??

I need to listen at a lower level than this.  Can we go back to the beginning?

Hi, the article makes no reference to “me recuerda” without either an “a” or a “que”, but several of the questions require this answer. John suggested a year ago that the article account for this situation: 

“For the sake of completeness I would make a small change.

Something “reminds me of” OR “is similar to”: Do not omit the “a” [from Recordar + a]

Something “is brought to mind”: Omit the “a” [from Recordar + a].

Something reminds me that: Use Recordar + que”

 If John is correct, could you please make this change because as it stands the article seems incomplete. Thanks!
