Spanish language Q&A Forum

There seem to be a lot of confusion around this subject. especially when using the word 'some.'

Could you please explain the difference illustrated in these two examples.

Tengo muchas postales de Venecia, ¿quieres algunas?
I have many postcards from Venice, do you want some?

He imprimido nuestras fotografías del viaje, ¿quieres ver alguna?
I have printed the pictures of our trip, do you want to see some?

And just as an aside, the sentences in English should be separated by either a semi-colon or a period, not a comma.  When a comma is used to separate two independent clauses, it's called a comma splice or a run-on sentence.  I'm not trying to be a know-it-all.  This is in the spirit of having the best grammar.

These rules for verb tenses when using por si/por si acaso are really hard to keep straight.  Does it sound really awful to a native speaker if we get it wrong?

foggy and sunny both are adjectives, the why is it hay niebla and esta soleado?

¡Hola!

didn't need to (infinitive) & needn't have (past participle) are used to express the lack of necessity in the past, however

didn't need implies that the speaker didn't do something because he/she new that it was not necessary

needn't have means the speaker did something and then he/she knew that it had not been necessary

for example:

I didn't need to have an interview because I had worked there before

I needn't have cooked dinner. Just as it was ready, Chris and June phoned to say that they couldn't come to eat

(examples are taken from Advanced Grammar in Use by Martin Hewings)

How can I express it in Spanish?

There was a sentence in the lesson: 

Dime cuál te gusta más. 

Tell me which one you like the most. 

Wouldn't this translate to

Tell me which one you like more. ? 

How would you say the correct sentences in Spanish to translate more and the most?

Also, why do speakers of Spanish have a difficult time when learning the comparative and superlative forms in English? It's like they don't realize they exist in Spanish too.

Hi room, experts

Please explain translation 'its difficult for corruption to disappear from the country' in Spanish 'Es difícil que la corrupción desaparezca del país'. 

I understand your translation but I am wondering, can this also be written in the indicative. 

For example could I not also write, 'Es difícil por la corrupción de desaparecer del país'?

Would it be correct to use Porque at the start of a sentence....e.g. instead of

Como estoy enfermo, no voy a ir al trabajo hoy.

Porque estoy enfermo, no voy a ir al trabajo hoy
