Would it be helpful to explain this way?
sentado/a(s) = seated; tumbado/a(s) = laid?
I recall that an earlier lesson mentioned the phrase "entre si" meaning "among themselves". The pronoun "si" seems to be the object version of the reflexive pronoun "se". When following the preposition "con", it also contracts to "consigo" just like "conmigo" and "contigo". The word "consigo" is also the same form as the first person present tense indicative mode of "conseguir". Maybe these discussions can be added to this lesson? Also, let me know if the pronoun "si" carries an accent or not. I think there is but I am not sure. Thank you.
The lesson should also explain whether the meaning is the same if these sentences use the future tense instead. Thank you.
Hello!
When using phrases like, "The boy is still little." or "The girl is not little any more.", would one use a form of estar, or would a form or ser be used? Thank you for your help.

The test asked me for the correct verb to use with the sentence "Tu ***** la primero de la lista" - this seemed to be a temporary thing, so I chose "estas". The right answer was "eres" - i.e. a permanent state.
I am confused - can anyone explain why use ser rather than estar in this case?
If I pay for this is there more to this app than I see now without subscription?
Hola Inma,
Ayer me cobraron de más en ese bar, _conque_______ dudo mucho que vuelva a ir.
They overcharged me in that bar yesterday, so I very much doubt I will return.
This sentence is from a test a took here. Dudo and vuelva have the same subject, yo. Is there a rule for this? I thought, in order to use the subjunctive, there must be different subjects. Can you, please, explain?Muchas gracias

You make the distinction that todavía can be placed before or after the verb unlike in English, but I think it can be done in English as well. It might be a bit less common (or perhaps more poetic), but I can think of sentences where it could come after the verb still.
fue reina de Castilla, Aragón y Navarra.
Here's the hint we gave you:Castile = Castilla, Aragon = Aragón, Navarre = Navarra, don't put any article in front of "queen", use El Pretérito Imperfecto
In the above example the English translation refers to “she”, but am I correct, that there is nothing in the spanish
sentence that refers to a “she”? In fact, wouldn’t “le” normally default to the masculine?
