I may have missed something here.
Is their happiness a permanent thing?
Shouldn't it be, "estamos más felices?"
Thanks in advance,

When do we not use the articles like "en casa" instead of "en la casa"?
Using the pluperfect subjunctive in hypothetical clauses (si) followed by the perfect conditional/ the pluperfect subjunctive
I have answered these questions correctly many, many times and I can't get 100%. I was at 92% but after answering correctly ten times it took me back to 88%. Please check?
Surely both versions are about "how" the speaker feels:
Cada vez que veo esa película siento escalofríos. - Every time I see that movie it gives me the shivers. (lit: I feel the shivers)
versus: Rafael se siente mareado. ¡Trae un vaso de agua! - -Rafael is feeling dizzy. Bring a glass of water!
There must be a better way to determine which version to use, no?
Or is it that with sentir it's when an external force is affecting the speaker and with sentirse it's a matter of personal, internal sensation/emotion. It seems to be a very fine line of definition . . .
Hi Inma,
If you can skip tan solo as in the last example, how do you know whether the meaning is "just before" or "within"? For example:
A 2 minutos de empezar la película me llamó mi madre para charlar.
Couldn't this mean either that my mother called me just before the film started or that she called me just after it started?
There has to be some loose English equivalent of this mood. The best I can think of:
“He will be so daring!”
even if it’s very archaic. Even then “would” would be much more acceptable. Any ideas?
Can you say something like,
De todos mis amigos, la mas guapa es Esmeralda.
Of all my friends, the best-looking is Esmeralda.
Hiya,
I used ‘como imaginarías’ to translate ‘as you may imagine’. I had my English conditional head on. Would that be acceptable and understandable?
Many thanks,
Dan
The bot wants “para.” I can see how “para” works if the intention is to say they’ve scheduled their vacation to start at that time. But that’s not the intention that I get from the context. It seems more like this upcoming “puente” is a time period during which they’ll be on vacation and “por” is appropriate.
