Why is it igual and not iguales if it’s referring to 7 or 12 people?
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
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
I am confused about these. The lesson says they are interchangeable, but when I do the quizzes I get marked incorrect for choosing - for example - apenas instead of en cuanto. Can anyone help clarify this?
Most enjoyable, perfectly spoken and easy to follow. Thanks. But what is a "menina"? It's not in my Larousse dictionary . . .
Once I was in a store here in Mexico and the clerk asked me if I wanted a “canastilla”. I didn’t know what she meant until she brought me a plastic shopping basket. My Mexican friends laughed when I said that I would have understood “canastita”. I still don’t know a rule for when to use -illa. I do know that “ventanilla” is the word for the small airplane window so I’m guessing that in general the “-illa” suffix is used for physically small things and not for any of the other uses.
But the suffix -it@ is used a lot. “Cafecito” is a common word and there are even restaurants that are named “El Cafecito”. A Spanish teacher once told me that the Mexicans used to use diminutives in order to set themselves apart from the Conquistadores, who made demanding, forceful requests.
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".

Muchas gracias Silvia, Shui e Inma -
Hay otro hecho interesante [¿e importante?]:
Durante el mes de septiembre [y también en marzo], la latitud del sol [es decir su posición encima de la superficie de la Tierra] cambia más que en los otros meses [durante su viaje N>S, o S>N]. Por eso, las duraciones de luz del día están disminuendo muy perceptiblemente - por 27½ minutos durante esta semana [en Londres].
What is wrong with "Teníamos que usar cascos de protección" . I have heard many people use "usar" for to wear.
