If something is currently better now, but may change, why don't I use estar? For example, el tiempo está mejor ahora.
In a writing exercise (a day outside), it told me to use es.
If I want to ask a question, can I say "puedo preguntarte algo"? ie. can I ask you something (meaning a question)?
In the example:
Nuestra ayuda está dirigida a jóvenes sin empleo. Estas son personas que han acabado sus estudios y no han encontrado trabajo.
why is it "Estas" and not "Estos"? Doesn't this pronoun need to agree with "jóvenes" rather than "personas"?
When does the o-ending in the 3rd person pretérito indefinido get a tilde (like "oyó) and when doesn't it?
In "solucionar," I wonder if "to resolve" or "to solve" would be a closer translation than "to fix."
I tried to use SpanishDictionary to translate tender and it didn't see it as a Spanish word. However, DeepL translated it as "clothesline" when I included it with a list of words (probably a DeepL bug). It translated "tender la ropa" as "tending the clothes". DeepL doesn't translate tender to an english word either. Also, the speaker sounds like she is saying "pender la ropa". I don't hear the "T".
Can you help me with this?
¡Saludos a todo allá!

Why isn't this en EL verano?
Buenas tardes Shui e Inma ...
It might be worth considering ... >> ?
1. > "As many Irish people emigrated to the United States..." [because that corresponds better with the 'emigraron' in your Spanish translation].
2. [Debatable !] > I first wondered whether "Halloween is really an ancient Irish holiday" might have been more helpful to us, rather than saying "... ancestral..."]... In Castillian, 'ancestral' is indeed sometimes used as a synonym for 'antiguo' - but perhaps there is a very slight difference in Englsh? Eventually, however, I could see that the use of the word 'ancestral' in that context was at least pointing us in the right direction.
