Hi

For this phrase;

Se necesitan médicos con experiencia en ese hospital.

My instinct would be to translate it as necesitan - the same as English 'they need - but I normally look at Spanish nouns like Hospital & Gente as singular - so I might say "se necesita médicos". What is up with my logic here? Ta

Hola,

I've seen this pattern and just learned it by rote, but I'm wondering why when I see venir and salir, and probably others I can't recall right now, the preposition follows the verb?

Usted normalmente sale a comer a las dos. (You usually go out to eat at two o'clock.)

Why isn't it sale comer a las dos, or Vienen nadar todos los domingos? 

I guess some rule has bypassed me at some point? What I'm most concerned is that past venir and salir, I'm going to get it wrong with other verbs.

Muchas gracias,

Hi could anyone tell me what " usar", "comodo", "velicidad", "dejan" "cojer" mean? 

Do levels degrade over time? (Like, if I’m 100% on A0 right now, will that go down over time so that I’m forced to review as I forget?) If not, I think that’s an important feature to add.

Hola

I am having a hard time learning all the past tenses and when to use what. Does anyone have a good advise on how to make it less complicated?

Josefine :)

Why in the 1st sentence does the noun precede and why in the 2nd sentence does the adjective precede?

Aquel hombre pobre no tiene dinero. (Poor)

Aquel pobre hombre era muy desgraciado. (Disgraced)

The only distinction I see is the different quality described by each adjective.

---------------------------------------------

And, how does the chart below help to answer my question?

Adjective           before             after

  pobre           unfortunate        poor

---------------------------------------------

It would be useful to use single spacing in this edit window. It would be a more efficient use of space, minimizing the need to scroll. I am obsessed with formatting. 

Thank you, James

Buenas tardes,

Solo quería decir que me gusta mucho el nuevo estilo y formato de Kwiziq.com. A mí me parece más claro y conciso. ¡Es genial! 

Gracias a todos en el equipo :) 

Two identical lessons:  One headed tan.... como in the index and the other headed tanto .....como.   but same "tanto.... cpomo..." lesson in both.

1) I wrote "quince" instead of "15". This was regarded wrong but I think it should be accepted.

2) From the way the text is read, it is not always easy to discern it it is followed by a comma or a point.

3) It was not possible to get the spanish inverted exclamation sign by pressing long on the exclamation sign? 

Hola,

The final sentence is given in English as "He will be very happy with us!" 

The Hint for the this sentence is "Manchitas is going to be so happy with us."

The final translation drops the word Manchitas, and replaces the word "so" with "very" per the first sentence: Va a ser muy feliz con nosotros." This leaves a lot of room for errors.

Saludos

John
