Should I add "estar + gerund" to list of verbs that act like Gustar?
I don't understand.
En el Fiesta del Olivo los verbos empezó y acabó suenan como oí (o oy ). Por eso no entiendo.
I just took a quiz that included this (correct) answer: "ya sea salado o dulce" to complete the sentence "Me encanta la cocina francesa...." Why doesn't the 1st adjective change to agree in gender with "cocina"? I picked it anyway, as there was no option with "salada" (and it was the best available option) but it still struck me as incorrect.
What is the responses for De donde es usted
Although the note on the question suggests the imperfect of Poder I think the translation should use the conditional, Podría rather than podía
But this is to do with the nature of this sentence. For other sentences you can replace si with que, for example:
Me encantaría que vinera Carlos.
Me encantaría si viniera Carlos.
The question was to fill the missing word (the hint was only that heredero is masculine):
The Heir to the crown ....
______ heredero de la corona
I answered "El" and was told it is incorrect, it should have been "Un". This seems wrong?
Puedo decir "con tal de que aspiren a un buen futoro en vez de con tal de aspirar?

I was reading along and halfway through it struck me that I was understanding every word easily. Wow! I was so pleased with my progress and then . . . I realized I was reading the Background segment which is in English!!! ¡Qué avergüenza!
¿A alguien más le ha pasado eso? Oh well, back to the grind . . .
And now, having read-along with the audio, and failed in trying to figure out where the text related to the audio, it's almost enough to make me grab a plane and head for Seville. Well, a little more vocab and I'll be hot to trot . . .
The following two sentences use the indirect pronoun 'le' before the verb. Why is 'le' necessary in these cases? Is it considered incorrect if it's removed? Examples with and without 'le' are below.
1. Tú les das vino a mis abuelos.
2. Ella le muestra un sombrero nuevo al hombre.
I've heard native speakers omitting 'le' in similar sentence constructions, but I'm unsure if it's correct to do so or not.
1. Tú das vino a mis abuelos.
2. Ella muestra un sombrero nuevo al hombre.
