Spanish language Q&A Forum

Voy para la casa de mi amigo.  Is the use of para in this case particular to Spain?  IN Mexico and New Mexico(where I live) I'm pretty sure the sentence would use the prepossition "a" as in Voy a la piscina.

For example:  Nosotros nos reímos siempre con esa película.   We always laugh at that movie.  I would have never known to use "con."  I would have chosen "a."

And, Ustedes se ríen de los niños.  You laugh at the children.  Again, I would have chosen "a" instead of "de."  Why "con" in one sentence and "de" in another?

Will there be lessons on how to choose the correct preposition, or is it a matter of memorising the conjunction with the noun?

I am getting thoroughly confused. What is the difference between the two ?

I know the preterite and the present perfect. Never heard of preterito indefinido

Hi Inma,

The last sentence should be linked to Using llevar + present participle I believe, but it has been wrongly linked to Using llevar + past participle

Hola,

The last sentence says "Los pájaron volaban sobre nosotras.", shouldn't it be pájaros?

No question....just a comment.

This is the kind of exercise I have been searching for! Thank you.  By the way, I love your accent. As a beginning Spanish learner, it is easier for me to understand you than some of the other online teachers that I hear. I am curious....is Spanish your native language? I hope that someday I reach your level of fluency:)
