Spanish language Q&A Forum

1) Why is imperfecto used: Pues que me apetecía .  She was feeling like at the moment, not an ongoing  feeling no?

2) y entre ellos había una pareja de jóvenes.. Why is the imperfecto used in this aspect?  The couple were only there AT that time, it's NOT a habitual or repetitive action that they are there every time shes at the beach? 

3) ¡No me lo podía creer! , why use the imperfecto here?

4) Después me di cuenta de que en ese grupo había un hombre haciendo fotos y un chico con un foco. Entonces comprendí que los jóvenes eran modelos y estaban trabajando en una sesión de fotos    The imperfecto used is because it's sequential? 

5) Estoy segura de que estaban muertos de frío.   The models were ONLY cold at that moment, why not "estuvieron muertos de trio"

6) . El solo llevaba un bañador y ella un bikini.   Why not just "Llevaron" they don't wear a bikini or beach short every time they go to the beach?  Only at that moment for the photo shoot?

Thank You in advance !

4 y 6 grados de alcohol shows as "degrees" of alcohol. Are "degrees" and "percent" interchangeable in Spanish? I've never seen it that way in English

Just to clarify if I fully understand this lesson, would these 2 sentences be correct?: 

1. Roberto, cuyas hijas van al colegio de mi hija, es abogado. 

2. Tus padres, cuya casa actual es tan grande para sus necesidades, quieren una casa menos espaciosa.  

Many thanks for helping me get my head around this. Saludos ~Oscar   

Hi,

Would this be acceptable?

Le apasionan las películas de los 50 a María 

And, if so, is it commonly used?

Many thanks

Is there a lesson or a table on conjugating these? Especially Traer could use some illumination in this regard, I don't recall seeing the kinds of conjugation as shown in the examples for traer. Thanks.

I´m having fluctuating percentages for topics that I´ve created a notebook for and was correct on for over 30 times in a row. The percentage goes up and down but never significantly improves, even after getting them correct 10 times in a row it will drop from 97% to 91%. Can the percentages consistently reflect progress?

The two topics in particular are:

A0: Using vivo en + [city/country/region] to say where you live in Spanish

A0: How to say I have / you have in Spanish (possession)

I am confused about the verbs 'oir' and 'escuchar'

Would it be "estoy escuchando music" o "estoy oyendo musica" are both correct?

Do we also use a zero article when talking about other fundamental aspects of who we are? I am thinking of things like gender (I'm a woman; I'm a man) or familial identity (I'm a mom; I'm an uncle).

Was the Collection of verses published when the poet was 19 or just that one poem? Slightly ambiguous English phrasing  . . .
