and he suffered many storms during his journey.

HINT: journey = travesía.

Kwizbot                 y sufrió muchas tormentas durante su travesía.

You                        y sufraba muchas tormentas a través de su travesía .

Hello, 

I was wondering why the preterit is used here and not the imperfect?  I would have thought that these  storms occurred throughout his journey, therefore the imperfect would be used?  

Thank you for your help in clarifying  this and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Wishing you the best New Year ever!

Hello,

The last sentence in this quiz confuses me. 

I understood that estar is used with feelings such as “be happy” as it is temporary. But with this “goal” after “para” you have used ser.

Please would you explain why this “to be” is ser?

Thank you.

Hello, I use several sources to learn Spanish, and the other ones suggest using Estar for relationships with husband and wife, is there any reason why they would be incorrect?  Thanks

Hola Inma,

In the example: "Esta tarde ayudo a mi madre en el jardín", the point in time when the statement is occurring seems important. Can it not be "esta tarde" at the time of the statement, which would make it the continuous present (even though that tense is not being used, just as the future tense is not being used)? Or is the present tense simply not used in this way?

Yo creo que la palabra ella es una combinación de las palabras el y la. Similarmente, la palabra ellos es una combinación de las palabras el y los y también la palabra nosotros es una combinación de las palabras nos y otros y también la palabra vosotros es una combinación de las palabras vos y otros. Me parece que son similares con el tipo de palabras en inglés llamada contracciones. Yo espero que yo tengo razón pero no estoy seguro de este.  Por favor me explique.

As the question did not specify of give a hint as to whether "You" was formal or informal or even singular or plural, there are 4 possible corect answers and the computer chose only informal singular.

Hello, thanks for this excellent tool for learning Spanish!

My question is about the use of pero in a second sentence.  Should this be explained as a second clause rather than a second sentence since the examples use one sentence?

Hola a todos,
