Could you explain the distinctions between:
"Cristina sería una buena madre." "Cristina será una buena madre." "Cristina va a ser una buena madre."
I understand the difference between the first and the last, but I don't understand how the second version is distinct from those two.
I picked the wrong answer here because in all of the examples given in the lesson, the verb dar agrees with the subject of the sentence. That wasn't the case here, I assume because this sentence is written in a passive form. The subject of this sentence is "meeting" (singular) whereas the correct verb form given is "han dado." I assume the "han" agrees with the "they" who reached an agreement?
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.
Hi all,
This is an interesting usage that I haven't come across before. Is it only used in Spain, or elsewhere as well? Especially the last example of giving a command in a threatening tone or in no uncertain terms,- "Ya estás largándote'..
I know that in Chile for example, when someone is telling someone to leave, (say, at the end of an argument or unpleasant discussion, especially when they want a person to leave the room/house), it's very common to say "Ya, ¡partiste!" in the preterite. "You left already'', hahaha, I love it!
¡Hola! Am new here .I have a problem with the placement of 'usted'.For example ¿Usted tiene nietos?and ¿Tiene Usted nietos? Are both of the sentences correct? When or in what context do you use Usted before the verb or after.

Why is it "pero esta muy fría" instead of "pero está muy fría"? Also, why is it "está protegida" instead of "es protegida"?
Hello,
In the following sentence I expected está, as "but it is very cold". Have I got this wrong?
"El agua es clara, pero esta muy fría."
Thanks
Could you please explain further why "cuál" is used instead of "qué" in these examples?
Ella quería saber cuáles eran mis intenciones.Debes preguntar al médico cuáles son los efectos secundarios de las pastillas.
Sample question: "Creo que yo estoy a punto de encontrar la solución."
Is there a reason the "estoy" isn't subjunctive? If it were "espero que" instead of "creo que" would that matter?
