Hi Inma,
If you can skip tan solo as in the last example, how do you know whether the meaning is "just before" or "within"? For example:
A 2 minutos de empezar la película me llamó mi madre para charlar.
Couldn't this mean either that my mother called me just before the film started or that she called me just after it started?
Could you please clarify the statement "They replace the -z with a -c in all forms. This is because after z you can only have the vowels a, o and u."
1. The word "zeta" appears to disprove this statement so is there a further qualification to the rule that's missing?
2. Why can those letters not follow "z"?
Gracias!
To me it seems like such a long process for gustar to become "natural".
I literally have to parse every gustar sentence so that the pronoun tells me who is being liked, the verb then tells who is being liked (not who is doing the liking!):
me gustas = by me you are liked = I like youte gusto = by you I am liked = You like meEven though the pronoun-object at the beginning tells who is doing the liking, that becomes the object in English. So, the verb ending confirms what the subject really is . . . Is there any easier way or does ease of use eventually come with familiarity?Hola. Please help me this, im confused
Te dejé tus llaves. I know it means " I left your keys ", but what's te doing in this sentence?
Does it change the meaning or grammatically wrong if I don't have "te" in this sentence.
Sincerely thank you
Why were there no quotation marks placed around the word "manolos" in the Kwiziq translation of the penultimate sentence?
Thank you.

So here, quemar is indicative. Would the subjunctive queme also be acceptable in this sentence? Or does the si prompt indicative only?
(Translation for the interested: Dalí would say that if the Prado Museum burned down, he would save only this painting.)
Hi, I've just come across a use of estar + hecho that I didn't know before:
Tu hermano está hecho un hombretón.
That doesn't seem to be quite the same as the usage here, and I cannot find any reference to this kind of estar + hecho elsewhere on kwiziq...
This was a really fun exercise for me...
My daughter and I spent last Christmas in Burgos, where all my father's family and ancestors are from. Whilst there we visited the beautiful cathedral and we saw Papamoscas! He certainly is a funny little man :) You do need either good eyesight or binoculars to see him as he is really high up!
For these three examples, wouldn't it be:
¿Tú no te sientes nada por ella?
Vosotros os sentís un gran amor por la naturaleza.
Él se siente una gran alegría.
