"Cuánto falta?" means "how much longer".

Can't it also mean "how much do I owe you?"

For example, if you're paying for something with cash and you gave them some bills but still owe them a few coins to reach the total..?  (how many coins are still needed?)

Thank you!

Hi,

Is this form the same as ponerse a hacer algo - as both lessons mention the inferred spontaneity in the decision.

For example could we say, 'me puse a limpiar la cocina ayer' and 'me dio por limpiar la cocina ayer' have the same meaning?

Thanks in advance:)

the correct answer to what do you think? is ¿qué piensas? but can we write as "qué te pareces?"

and looking forward to your reply, should we include a preposition 'A'? ¡Espero a tu respuesta! or without a is then the correct one?

When I was a teacher we called this type of thinking "categorization", being able to tell things apart.  Nicely done.

In the first two paragraphs it says "de" is followed by a noun, but the examples all appear to place "de" before an adjective with the noun preceding "de." Can you explain this conundrum? Thank you.

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,

Esto dice un bebida interesante de Paraguay. Que es un comida importante en Paraguay?

why did it say it was wrong in the first part

Do you mean that *ese* is used when both conditions are true or just one?
