Spanish language Q&A Forum

‘We had to play football without kneepads’ - in English  we say shin pads (UK) or shin guards (US). Knee pads are what you use for skating. SpanishDict is telling me shin guards are ‘espinilleras’, but I have no knowledge about about which is correct/if one word may be used in a certain country and another elsewhere etc

Por que "la montaña"' en ingles "the mountains" Should be las montañas?

Is there a rule for determining the Spanish ending for someone that does a profession? For example, a climber is escalador, and a traveler is viajero. Why is one ending in -or and the other -ero? 

En 1 of 2 de ejercicio, la pista nos dijo que "Conjugate "ver" El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo". Pero no hay nada tal selección en la lista. Lo mismo error es en 2 of 2 de ejecicio. No hay nada tal selección de "Conjugate "decir" in El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo". Todos los subjuntivo artículos de las listas son El Presente Perfecto Subjuntivo.

Entiendo correctamente los ejercicios? Debemos elegir "Presente Perfecto subjuntivo"?

Why do you use Un before the "jugador de fútbol"

This word seems to change all the time! I had the wrong answer so next time it came up in a question I put the answer it gave me last time and it said wrong and gave the answer as the one I chose in the first place!  This has happened several times. How and why does this word change?

In one quiz answer it marked me wrong for choosing “Se llama [girl’s name],” saying I should have chosen “Ella se llama…” Then in the next quiz I chose “Él se llama” and it was marked wrong, saying I should have chosen “Se llama.” I’m confused, what is the difference?

Please check this question. 

When I did this quiz a few minutes ago, I only had the choice of one answer.   It turns out that there were three correct answers so I received partial credit.  I added it to my notebook to look at the question again, but once again it did not offer the ability to check multiple boxes.
