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?

Hola todos

I have been told that it is very common to use 'quedar' instead of 'estar' to indicate where a place is, for instance 'Mi casa queda cerca del parque.'

I have read quedar used in this way, and have seen it in some dictionaries. However, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it to me, which is odd as I must have used sentences where it might come up hundreds of times on the many occasions I've been navigating neighbourhoods during visits to Spain. Could it be more common in Latin American Spanish?

Can you clarify?

Saludos

¿es posibe usa detestar en lugar de odiar?

Hello:

in the exercise at: https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/my-languages/spanish/exercises/judge/314/481235?response=57969&page=8

sentence: My mother uses her mobile phone to make calls and send texts 

Spanish: Mi madre usa el teléfono móvil para hacer llamadas o mandar mensajes.

The exercise says: "and", but the translation is: "o" 

i.e.: and send texts.

Kwizbot: o enviar mensajes. 

You: y enviar texto

Why is the translation "o" 9meaning "or" 0 instead of "y" meaning and as per the text?

Is there an error here, if so what lesson would answer this?

Thank you, Nicole

When I hear the phrase "la falda es bonita", it sounds like "la fine-da ...". I would expect to hear something like "foul-da". Do you agree? I have to admit it has taken me years and a pair of good hearing aids to make progress with hearing Spanish pronunciation. Thank you for your excellent Spanish learning application!

Why is it “trabajo como” I work as 

and “trabaja de” I work as

What’s the difference? Thanks!

En este frase, no entiendo por que es "Si usted hubiera venido antes, yo le atendería" y no "Si usted hubiera venido antes, yo le habria atendido".  No entiendo por que la tradución en ingles es I would have served you y no I would serve you.... Help!
