Spanish language Q&A Forum

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?

Question: ¡Estén atentos! means: Pay attention!

I don't see anywhere on the lesson that explains this usage. It seems like it's being used as a command/order.

Gracias Shui por compartir un poema tan hermoso y romántico. ¡Qué triste también! Nada es más emotivo que el amor perdido entre una pareja. ¡Es increíble que Pablo solo tenía 19 años cuando escribió este poema!

Somos muy afortunados de tener tantos maravillosos poetas y novelistas hispanohablantes. Para mí este poema muestra cuan rica y expresiva es la lengua española.

Saludos 😊

How do we know when to use El pretérito perfecto progresivo vs El indefinido progresivo?

Both answers are correct and based on the response from Inma, the correct answers should be " El Pretérito Perfecto". Please revise this lesson to make it clear as to which answer you want maybe by prefacing each question with "In Latin America". 

Now everywhere I look online it suggests that this should only say 'lo dejé' and not 'me lo dejé'. Why would they add 'me'? It doesn't feel like it needs it, as the 'I forgot' bit is understood by dejé, and the 'it' by lo. It isn't reflexive I don't think. 

Thanks!

In the answer, the first sentence is future tense, but the second sentence is conditional tense?  What is going on?  Why are not both these sentences either future or conditional?
