When movement is involved - adónde / adonde ? In Question 5 of the Test I have just completed, we had to translate: "She came near to where I was sitting" by inserting the correct word in the gap here: "Ella se acercó ________ yo estaba sentada". It did look to me as if movement was involved, so I chose "... adónde …" [plus the others which carried the accent] … But I was wrong !
Admittedly, when I clicked on "Explain this", I noticed this example:
Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...
... which also involves movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !

Me pregunto ¿si esta estructura se usa en otros países hispanohablantes también?
I thought that Os was the pronoun for vosotros in this lesson so now I am confused how to use Os since it is not used in Mexico and the lesson did not explain it. I appreciate your help with this
This lesson has answered my question of a few minutes ago.
"All yo-go verbs in Spanish, i.e verbs where the yo form ends in -go in El Presente, take that same stem to form El Presente de Subjuntivo and keep it all the way through the conjugation. However, the El Presente de Subjuntivo endings are the same as regular -er and -ir verbs endings."
What is the responses for De donde es usted
Every episode of News in Slow Spanish starts with "Es jueves, ..." and so I got the answer to this wrong. So to clarify,
do we use "estar" plus a preposition to be less formal and it's correct, but more formal to use "ser" and that form doesn't take a preposition?

Ella esta enfermo porque, ella quiere trabajar en en hospital grande, ella no le gusta trabajar en el clinic porque el clinic es muy pequeno.
Hola,
Is there any way I can get help besides taking quizzes here to understand the difference between Estar and Ser uses?
