Can we please get an explanation how ? can be a !

I'm with the rest of the people below. How can a question be interpreted as a exclamation? If it has the ?? around it, it signifies a question. It shouldn't matter what language you're using. A question is a question. So how does this magically convert into a exclamation? Can someone from kwiziq please answer because it's been asked over and over for the past year. Thank you

I thought it was “El Día de Los Muertos.” At least it was in the many references I have seen.

El Preterito Perfecto

Hi,

The link to the above takes you to a page with the sub-heading 'Spanish Present Perfect'.

I thought 'preterite' was always related to the past as it says in the text on that page. So, why is it present perfect in Spanish?

Thanks.

Colin

Hacer meaning to travel???This question suggested conjugate Hacer but the tranlation said 'travel' I don't understand why we would use hacemos instead of viajamos in that context? We would never say 'we do (or make) 200 to get to work' in English and I can't find any suggestion online that hacer is used to describe travel but perhaps it is a quirky Spanish anomaly? Thanks for your help to understand this one :)
Marta y yo ________ 200 km a la semana para ir a trabajar.

Why le, not lo?Le han suspendido.He failed [an exam].Hi, I’m confused about Le here. It seems the exam is “lo”, a thing, so direct object pronoun. Thanks for your help. Shirley.

What is the true meaning behind "Aunque tal vez sean más cercanos a la cultura española los ejemplos de Dalí y su ... o ... de Picasso"?

I understand it grammatically or literately. What I am trying to figure out is what the semantics is. The sentence seems breaking the semantic chain of the text. What is the author trying to tell us?

Using Ser to Express an essential Characteristic

I am a bit upset at the fact that a hint given on a test made me change the correct answer to an incorrect. I just finished a quiz and the question was "Sus padres ________ bastante delgados. Their parents are quite slim.

(HINT: Their parents have always been slim )". I knew the answer was "son" however after seeing the hint, I changed it to "tienen" even though I thought, or knew it was wrong. I changed it based on the hint. Imagine my dismay when I found out the answer was "son" and I had known it in the first place.
