Spanish language Q&A Forum

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

Saludos,

I don’t understand why the 2nd sentence (starting “Fue”) uses the indefinido but the 3rd sentence (starting “La lengua” uses the imperfecto. I can’t really see any difference between them and I thought they should both be the imperfecto tense since they refer to something that happened over a long period. Likewise tense choices in the later sentences. Thanks for your help, Tony

Not really a question but this lesson could be better if in included the three rules for plural

1# ends in vowel add s

2# ends in consonant add es

3# ends in z change to c and add es.

as far as I know this is correct

The sound stops halfway through this example:

Yo voy al gimnasio, no porque me gusta, sino porque debo perder peso.I go to the gym, not because I like it, but because I must lose weight.

I put le invité. Is that also correct?

Nope.  No real instruction can convey with clarity how to use the different past tenses in Spanish.  This is just another attempt here to try and make it "clear."  it is not.  

Spanish fluency was a goal of mine, but really not so much any longer.  Basically, because no one can really "instruct" on how to learn the language.  The only way to learn it is to revert to "infancy" and just hear it spoken.  So, move to a Spanish-speaking country or region and pick up what you can.  Most disheartening thing I have ever attempted to do is learning Spanish.

How do you do the upside down question mark? 

Why is it “los más ricos” and “los más listos”?

If the assumption is that we are referring to people, (la gente or las personas), should they not take the feminine form?
