Hi, I have a question about the grammar of this sentence. I apologize it doesn’t have to do with “aquella.” Just wondering about the use of “estaba.” Why not “estuvo?” For something to be broken is that not permanent? Or is it because it was fixed that it “used to be broken”? Am I over thinking this?
I thought gustar was modified by the thing being liked (vs the person/people doing the liking), but when I chose gustan for liking the horse races I was marked wrong.
Hola Inma,
The translation of the above is given as “Come up here without stepping on the white floor tiles.” This sounds like an imperative, so would it be one of the appropriate conjugations ¡Ve/Vea! etc? Or is it a typo?
Saludos. John
I've listened over and over and can't hear the Y in "José y María".
Is it not there or am I just unable to hear it?
Of course numbers are read all kinds of ways, but I was always taught that in reading a number without a decimal (i.e., "20, 354") the word "and" is not to be used. Thus, your example "20,354" would be vocalized as: "twenty-thousand, three hundred fifty-four". No "and".

I came across this question in the exercises.
Al profesor le gustaría que los niños ________ en voz alta
I selected the correct answer which was hablara.
However my first intuition was that the answer would be hable.
Hable wasn't one of the options however.
Would hable also be a potential correct answer for this question?
Thank you.
When is "cómo es" used? I keep seeing it as a correct option but what scenario it would be used in hasn't been specified.
Is there a way I can see a list of my mistakes from the tests I have done?
It would be useful to identify the areas I consistently make the same errors in so that I can focus on those specifically to reinforce everything.
"Suelo ir al gimnasio todos los días, ________ soy socio.
I usually go to the gym every day because I am a member."
One of the options here was "por". Is there a reason that would not be correct? It seems like "por" "que" and "porque" all mean pretty much the same thing.
Isn't there an exception for locations of events? For example in: "¿Dónde es la reunión?"
