Spanish language Q&A Forum

Are there lessons having to do with the pauses and intonation in Spanish speech? I guess I'm using English patterns to place commas and periods when transcribing spoken Spanish and am frequently wrong.

I see that “el” and “la” are based off masculine or feminine. How do I know if a general noun (e.g. car) is masculine or feminine tense?

In the case of the broken radio, using 'es' suggests the radio is irreparable, whereas 'está' suggests it can be repaired

Sure "agua"means "water" but I think in this case the singer was saying "Look out now!" as a heads up for the band rhythm solo . . .

Hola, Inma,

In a previous reply to Remy, you gave the example:

Quizás Miguel no apruebe.

He may not pass (in the future, he hasn't done the exam yet)

Quizás Miguel no aprobara.

He may not have passed (he already did the exam and we doubt if he passed or not)

Is it possible to use the perfect here

Quizás Miguel no haya aprobado.

and if so, how would the meaning be different from the earlier two examples?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I know this lesson gives a short explanation about what this topic is but I feel like it does not do a good job of truly explaining the subject it just gives examples. So would you be able to explain to me how to actually talk about habits in the past?  

It says that the correct answer is  "QUERÍAMOS".  I don't understand why you don't use "quisimos".  We wanted to help and actually did help, so it is a completed action.

These are taken from an exercise in the B2 Writing Library

I'm confused with the use of article here

deberías consumir espárragos trigueros, guisantes y habas        but      pondría ingredientes como la lechuga, las endibias, las espinacas, etc

What is the rule here?

We want exercises with answers would be very useful 

why cant Estamos muy feliz be used?

why is ser being used to describe moods?
