Hola,

I think " te voy a enseñar" is also valid. Isn't it?

vuelvo vs. volviendo    i thought iendo=ing     when the chicos vuelvan... they return.   isn't 'are returning' estan volviendo???

could you, please, explain why " mi corazón me iba a explotar/estalar" is not valid? I' ve always had a problem with this kind of expression. 

Saludos

In the test question: ¿Quién es ________ de tus amigos? (Who is the most generous of your friends?)

I incorrectly assumed that because "de tus amigos" doesn't specify the gender of "Quien es" in Spanish, that "lo" would be appropriate rather than "el" (correct answer). Because only the response can reveal the gender e.g. - "Carla es la más generosa de mis amigos" o "Jorge es el más generoso de mis amigos". In other words, why is "el" correct in this case even if the "quién es" might turn out to be female? (I did notice that the hint was "generous = generoso" but (falsely?) assumed it was being generic rather than specifying un amigo masculino).

Can you please clarify?

Thank you

I was lead to believe that Que is used with Estar and Cual with Ser.  

What is the difference between ‘el pretérito perfecto’ and ‘el pretérito perfecto compuesto’ ?

Hi,

In an above question

¿ ________ curáis las heridas con algodón?

Do you treat your wounds with cotton wool?

My answer was Te,

 however the right answer was ( os )

can someone please explain why vosotros is used instead of tu?

This lesson has answered my question of a few minutes ago.

why do some examples have 'de' before the infinitive and others not?
