Spanish language Q&A Forum

It is not intended, is it, that the second Example and Resource sentence above, "Vienen para solucionar el problema." is not translated into English? 

In the same way that galesa in the first example is equivalent to "Welsh," perhaps Esta torera es cordobesa is more equivalent to "This bullfighter (female) is Cordoban." 

This is stupid. The examples of the party are both the same. No action is being completed or not being completed. It is just a statement of existence that there "was" food at the party. So we need a better explanation for why in one case it would be "habia" and in one case it would be "hubo."

I put 'en mitad de' and was marked wrong. According to your lesson on that topic they are sinónimos.

Please clarify

Gracias

Hola,

The recorded reading of this exercise has some glitches. 

In the second sentence, the speaker has added words, that are not in the written text and in the last sentence some words from the text are not read.

Gracias

Hi,

The link to the above takes you to a page with the sub-heading 'Spanish Present Perfect'.

I thought 'preterite' was always related to the past as it says in the text on that page. So, why is it present perfect in Spanish?

Thanks.

Colin
