No seas tonto. It feels like we are describing a temporary condition. Why is ser used?
In one question, I was tasked to translate "I want to buy it for him." I selected " Quiero se lo comprar." and was marked wrong. I understand that one could say "Quiero comprárselo." , which was the correct answer. But I always thought that you could have the pronouns attached to the infinitive or put them in front.
Hola
I am having difficulty understanding when an answer is simply incorrect and you wouldn't say it in Spanish, and when the answer given is not what Kwiz expects to see. For example, I wrote 'Cuando fine la leccion' (I can't find the accent!) and it was marked incorrect. Would it be incorrect to say that in conversation with a Spanish speaker?
Many thanks

Mi vecina Clara, que es peluquera, tiene su propio salón de belleza.
why we didnt say una peluquera?
Hola! Gracias por ese punto de gramática. Tenía una pregunta sobre ese tema. Porque decimos ''vete'' (go away!) en lugar de ''vate''? Porque la tercera persona del singular al presente del indicativo es ''él/ella va''. Porque utilizamos el presente del subjuntivo aquí? Gracias :-)
Hi,
My focus area is Latin America. I do see that this lesson is for peninsular Spanish, but I can't seem to find the appropriate equivalent lesson for L.A. Could you direct me to the correct page for Antes de que/Despues de que for L.A. students?
Thanks,
John Nolan
Why not “estos pantalones, cuáles he tenido “?
"El anuncio decía que" shouldn't we use "Indefinido" here, as the action we're talking about was done yesterday. We are not describing here?
1. In the second sentence, "para que te acuerdes de que me he portado muy bien"...Why isn't recordar accepted here?
2. In the sentence, "Además, desearía que ayudaras a las personas enfermas"... why isn't "ojalá que" accepted as a translation of "I hope"?
Hi Inma,
Thanks a million this is really interesting and insightful to the use of Spanish. Saludos. John
