Hello,
It may be helpful to add "sobrante" as well as "enrollar" to the words to look up.
Thanks,

The directions say with verbs that imply movement we can use all the forms, but the correct answer to the question was "adónde" and "dónde". Seems the directions should say, with verbs that imply movement we can use either accented form.
Does «media naranja» (soulmate) literally mean "orange sock"? How did this term for "soulmate" develop in Spanish culture?
Hola Inma,
You mention in your answer to Lisa that you were going to create a studylist with nationalities that end in -e so we have them in one place to memorise. Is there a link to that list somewhere.
Gracias!
Ella esta enfermo porque, ella quiere trabajar en en hospital grande, ella no le gusta trabajar en el clinic porque el clinic es muy pequeno.
Since The main differences between ser and estar include that ser is used for permanent qualities, like your name, your place of origin, and your physical appearance, while estar is used to talk about temporary situations, such as how you’re feeling right now or your location.
So why is SER used in this sentence: Tú eras muy bueno. - the person that you are talking to is not always good so it is not a permant state.
Ditto in the following sentence. You are not always rich so why use SER in the following: Vosotros erais ricos.
I answered 'tendremos una' , but the correct answer was, just, 'tendremos'. Why is 'una' not required?
My amiga de Oaxaca pointed out that in Spain they tend to use "lo" in this expression but in Mexico it's "la." Just sayin'!
Dicha ejemplo, eso es, " Nos costo mucho" = It was difficult, la significa del verbo COSTARSE en este contexto = i find it hard to/ difficult to in the sense of speaking to someone...... Esta razon.
BARRY.
Hola Inma,
I can’t work out why whether the information is already known to the parties concerned, that the subjunctive is used [in the pretérito imperfecto].
Also why using the pretérito indefinido would indicate that the information is new information.
In other words what is the logic behind this when forming the subjunctive? I completely get the idea of a hypothetical idea requiring the subjunctive, but the aspect of whether the information is already familiar to the people concerned, is confusing me. Saludos. John
