Spanish language Q&A Forum

Would we use this format:  quiero medio kilo de res molido, quiero un mitad de una copa de vino, añade tres cuartos de una tasa de azucar, dame doble de lo que diste a él.  Thanks.  (PS The return key doesn’t work in this question box on the iPad.)

Hello!  I wrote "lo pasarán bien" instead of "se divertirán mucho" and I believe the feedback advised me to use the verb in the reflexive form ("se lo pararán bien"). In the past,  I had encountered "pasarlo bien" as meaning "to have a good time" without using "se."  Can you please clarify?  Thanks so much.

In "ellos consiguen borrar los malos pensamientos de su cabeza," why is it not "de sus cabezas" since we said "ellos"? 

Hi,

For the sections "Eran aún mejores que..." and then after this "...en mis sueños.", I believe it might be a bit confusing to separate these parts of the same sentence as the use of the imperfect or preterite tense for the 'Ser' in this sentence relies on the context of to when this action refers. Just seeing the prompt "They were even better than...", I assumed that it was referring to the actual concert, which you would use the preterite of 'Ser' (Fueron) as it is a single and defined event, however when you see "...in my dreams." you then see it was referring to multiple, repeated instances so you would hence use the imperfect tense (Eran).

Perhaps I am mistaken?

Regardless, these quizzes are very good for practical and realistic Spanish usage.

Thanks,

Angus.

Hi,

Would this be acceptable?

Le apasionan las películas de los 50 a María 

And, if so, is it commonly used?

Many thanks

What is the difference?

In the answer, the first sentence is future tense, but the second sentence is conditional tense?  What is going on?  Why are not both these sentences either future or conditional?
