Spanish language Q&A Forum

I always appreciate the richness of meanings in the examples.  Could you please tell me if my list is correct?

 (1) Salir con alguien - go out with someone  

(2) Salir con (an item of clothing) - to go out wearing something  

(3) salir de un lugar - to leave a place 

(4) salir a un lugar - to go out to a place

 (5) something you did + salir - something turned out a certain way 

(6) salir bien vestidos - to go out well dressed.  

Thanks.

Hi, in this exercise, Lola 'odia a los gatos' but I think that Danny "odia los perros",  in Lola's translation. 
Is there a difference in whether the personal 'a' is needed in each case?  I weighed it up as - it is a definable person/pet? and I opted for 'not' using personal a because they hate dogs/cats in general. Hmm, but then again, they are sort of talking about their own pets?
Then there's the question of 'odiar' being clearly a strong feeling... but not exactly a strong affection.
Please help!

cheers, 

I am finding the use of the verb Hay in tenses other Present Indicative confusing. Is it because the verb retains its multi purpose use of meaning? I mean, "hay" means both "there is" and "there are" in the Present Indicative, and "hubo" means "there was" and "there were", even though the following noun is plural? Also, after "si" when is "hubo" used in preference to "hubiera"?

Hello, this is a more advanced topic but I've come back to review.

Why do we use the subjunctive in this statement:

Ustedes pueden comprar lo que quieran.

Thanks.

Just wondering if we can use the preterite tense for questions or if the present perfect tense is the only option.  There are two examples of questions, both using the present perfect tense:  ¿Tú has montado en globo?   ¿Has jugado al golf alguna vez?

Thanks.

I use this site everyday it is helping me with my Spanish but there is a problem. I would very much like to kwiz this and other topics again, that I have difficulty with, but I am unable to. The glitch in this link/program will not let me reKwiz no matter how many times I try. To reKwiz would help me to learn but the program is broken. 

#46. I must be missing something. Why is seguí estudiando better than continué estudiando?

Nice lesson! In what cases would use of the definite article be mandatory, grammatically speaking?

Also, as far as I can tell, the pronoun's gender does not relate to the gender of a person, the definite article can provide that clarification when needed.

Thank you.
