Couldn’t “Decóraselo” also have “usted” as its antecedent?Decóraselo


Couldn’t “decorate it for yourself” also be a correct choice if the implied pronoun/antecedent is “usted?”

I can’t see why “usted” wouldn’t be as valid as “él/ella/ellos/ellas” for this construction.

¿Todos alcaldes?

Todo alcalde merece respeto. (English trans: All mayors deserve respect.) Why is it not Todos alcades merece respeto?

Saludos,

Missing "estar form" and "que"?

I am very confused by the English translation of the sentence "Os veo bastante triste."  ("I can see that you are quite sad"). It seems to me quite a few words are missing in the Spanish. Can one also say, "Puedo ver que estáis bastante triste."  Please help. I find that I am often confused as to when "que" must be used. And in this particular case, I'm also confused about the verbs.

Saludos,

Pati E.

future tense?

How does "could" translate from "Dónde estará esa chica?" Isn't that future tense?  Would "¿Dónde podría estar esa chica?" be more correct?

Explanation not a great matchThis is the sentence and hint for it talking about ongoing action in the past:Mi abuelo nunca ________ con la ventana abierta.My grandfather never slept with the window open.(HINT: Refers to an ongoing action in the past.)
When you click on 'discuss this' the explanation talks about past in general vs. specific time in the past, not much of a help to understand the ongoing action bit. For me it sounds a lot like repeated action/habit anyway.
Cheers, ALEX

Why is 'La personal hizo' not accepted as the right answer?

Unfortunately for me, I keep answering La instead of El and my score for the lesson is melting down.

Computer vs Ordenador

In this lesson it said to translate “Dad’s computer”. So I entered “La computadora de papá”. It said that is incorrect and should be “El ordenador de papá”. Can you help me understand why computadora would not be correct? Thank you!
