In a quiz question (20% is a small number), why is the answer el "20 %" not accepted? The lesson seems to suggest that either that or El '20 por ciento" should be ok. Thanks.
Hi Inma
Am I right to assume that these essentially translate into English as the same thing? Otherwise, could you explain any other differences in meaning that might exist?
1) Su avión ha debido retrasarse
2) Su avión debe haberse retrasado
AND that adding 'de' also makes no difference to the meaning (other than maybe 'strengthening' the assumption as we learned about here: Spanish modal verb Deber versus Deber de (obligation and assumption))?
Saludos
Él pudo irse de vacaciones
why we use 'irse' in this sentence? instead of 'ir'
Cuando queremos decir "you won't regret it!", por qué con el verbo arrepentirse lo usamos sin el objeto "it", pero cuando usamos el verbo lamentar, lo usamos con el objeto "it".
Por ejemplo: No te arrepentirás (sin objeto) versus no lo lamentarás (con objeto)
(muchas gracias)
I am confused about these. The lesson says they are interchangeable, but when I do the quizzes I get marked incorrect for choosing - for example - apenas instead of en cuanto. Can anyone help clarify this?
I really enjoy reading Spanish history. Do you have anything on the Inquisition?
De lejos, habria es actual en inglais. pero me cuento que utilizo habre.
Why did Kwiziq insert "una" in front of "astrónoma" but not in front of "miembro"?

Yup. Makes no sense at all. I also watched videos on youtube for "por v. para." Incomprehensible. Pretty soon, I will shelve Spanish. I have gotten to the point where it is a reality that I will not achieve fluency or really go beyond the basic, "Quiere sal?"
I wonder what the purpose of the subtle but significant change of meaning in Tanta luz no es buena to mean "This much light is not good." instead of "So much light is not good?"
If one is hired as a translator, I don't think one would take it upon oneself to make a change of the speaker's meaning in such a way.
