Hola,
Is there any way I can get help besides taking quizzes here to understand the difference between Estar and Ser uses?
It seems to me that telling someone else that their own car works beautifully would indicate that the knowledge is shared and thus subjunctive (funcione) but that was marked incorrect. Please clarify.
I haven't seen this use of "que" before.
Ya son las tres. Andando, que llegamos tarde. It's 3 already. Let's get a move on, we're late.
¡Corriendo que nos mojamos! Hurry up, we're getting wet!
I like this. Is there a lesson on it?
I like to think back to how new structures build on previous ones. Are these sequences correct?
(1) las sandias grandes (large), las sandias más grandes (the largest), las sandias más grandes jamás cultivadas (the largest ever grown).
(2) el mejor vestido (the best), el mejor vestido jamás deseñado (the best ever designed)
Thanks.

Estamos a los segundos de las campanadas de fin de año.

Estamos a unos segundos de las campanadas de fin de año.
We are just a few seconds before the bells of the end of the year.
Yesterday I was visiting my friend Jimena.
The best answer is:
Ayer estuve visitando a mi amiga Jimena.
Is it incorrect to say estaba visitando OR visitaba ?
I can't find any lessons on the differences.
Gracias
Hi,
I am also a little confused by this lesson. I accept that they must be used as written but as the former modifies an adjective and the other a verb, how does this relate to the sentence above? Do they both relate in different ways to the second part of the sentence? Also, although they have the same translation, is there any difference to a Spanish speaker?
I need to understand when to apply each so that I don't make a mistake.
Gracias y saludos,
Colin
What exercises could i do to practice this?
‘The local police has captured the murderer.’
I’d say this should be ‘have captured’ in English, ‘has’ sounds unnatural to me
