How does one use porcentajes with this?
I'm confused by the title of this article: "personal "a" verbs". Isn't the issue whether the direct object is a person or not, rather than the verb used? In addition to the verbs mentioned, isn't the same true of all the verbs on https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/learn/theme/830919 as well as necesitar, golpear, ... indeed any transitive verb?
Three of the verbs have another word in front of them. Please tell me about these words.
comencé (comenzar)I started
empecé (empezar)I startednegué (negar)I denied
Is it correct that Mama Quilla era la hermana AND la esposa del dios Sol Inti?

Hi, the Spanish word for “for” is missing. Thanks, Shirley.
I was just watching "¿Quién mato a Sara?" (takes place in Mexico) where a security guard in a parking lot tells a character waiting in his car to meet with someone "Estamos por cerrar". The English subtitles render it as something like "We're about to close."
Would saying "estamos para cerrar" also make sense in this context? Would the meaning be different, and if so how? Is it a regional/dialect thing? Does the nuance have to do with the implication of intent, as was generalized in another post, or is it more complex...?
I'm confused by this pair of expressions... they seem like they want to be different and yet the meanings seem confusingly close... I know language isn't always logical, but I'm just trying to get a feel for it. Thank you in advance...
under the dictation, a part of the sentence says
Y nos invitaban a todos a una ceremonia y una fiesta, en una estación de esquí la Navidad próxima.
i understand that nos invitaban = they invited us
nos invitaban a una fiesta = they invited us to a party
but what does a todos means?
ayudame por favor
muchas gracias
Why is it "las puertas y ventanas" and not "las puertas y las ventanas"? Usually Spanish seems to have two definite articles where English has only one.
Hi. Was this marked wrong because I'm studying LA Spanish and chose "hubiesen aprobado" (used more in Spain) instead of "hubieran aprobado"? Thanks!
Ojalá ustedes ________ el examen final. I wish you had passed the final exam.(HINT: Use "ustedes" form to conjugate "aprobar" in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de Subjuntivo)
why cant Estamos muy feliz be used?
why is ser being used to describe moods?
