Spanish language Q&A Forum

I find that both are the same? May someone point out the differences?Thanks 

I used the imperfect subjuntive - "'Es sorprendente lo lejos que viniera este artista en su carrera" Why gave you used the preterite? I've looked up the phrase Es sorprendente and it does say it will take the subjunctive as is an impersonal phrase.

Es sorprendente lo lejos que este artista llegó en su carrera

I can see how "lugar" might be used to signify: taking "place" (tener lugar) but surely the intent is that the occasion will "occur" rather than being placed somewhere? Would not "ocurrir" be a better verb? Esto ocurrirá entre . . . and why "esta" instead of "esto" or even "este"? It is an "evento", no? 

And "habrá lugar para nuevos creadores"? It's as though "lugar" is being used as an easy substitute for better word choices.

What is IFEMA?

I believe that "escaparate" is like a "vitrina" which is an object, whereas the event, as a "highlight", might be considered to be "el último en moda" or "gran destacado de la moda española".

I feel as though I'm missing the point somehow. Nevertheless, it's a thought-provoking article for vocabulary.

I don't see anywhere in the lesson that the "que" can be omitted. I don't think the sentence looks right either. 

I thought I had understood all of the Gustar verbs, but this lesson was a great help, especially the "subject in the infinitive" nugget and all of the yellow box.

Correct sentence in English should read...

It would be better if you talked to the lawyer first

This one to me does not mean 'to want someone to', but 'to want something done'. So I think, 'Todos queremos el problema se resuelva pronto' is enough.

Is "hablar" more like "contar"?

Ex:  Su tía nos habló sobre su visita a españa.

Thanks.

Hola Inma,

my answer was: no te olvides de que la mejor mezcla es ...

but the "de" was marked wrong and deleted.

According to the lesson, when using the reflexive form olvidarse, we need to use the preposition "de".  Does this not apply when it comes to imperative?

Muchas gracias
