Spanish language Q&A Forum

I would like to know how can I go to next lesson after I finish answering the questions on this page.

Thank you so much! 

Is the choice based on noun agreement?

The sentence that is throwing me is:

¿Para quién has comprado esas flores tan bonitas?
Who have you bought such pretty flowers for?

¡Gracias!,

Hola,

I have a few questions on this exercise  -- that did prove to be challenging : )

1. Store it in the fridge until the next day

Kwizbot          Guárdalo en la nevera/ frigorífico  hasta el día siguiente
You     ­­­­­­­­­__________  en la nevara hasta el día proximo.

The test didn’t accept “el día proximo” as a possible answer, whereas online translators have translated "el día proximo" as “the next day”.  So I’m wondering if this phrase connotes something other than”the next day”.  Thank you

2. I get confused and can’t tell when to include the word in parenthesis in the Spanish translation– like here :

Then, knead (the dough)

Kwizbot     Luego, amasa
You   Luego, amasa la ___________.

 And how would it be written if, for example, if the word isn’t said in English, but appears in Spanish and/or vice versa?  And the meaning of any other similar anotations,

3. In my answer, would this phrasing/word order be acceptable, and if not, why not?

the marzipan is ready!

Kwizbot                 ¡Ya está listo el mazapán!
You                        ¡El mázepan está listo!

 Thank you for your attention and patience!

Have a great day! Nicole

Hi,

My answer "algunas vacaciones largas" was marked wrong and "unas vacaciones largas" was given as the correct answer for "some long vacations." Why is algunas wrong?  The lesson doesn’t address either unas or algunas. 

Thanks. K

Hola,

I was marked correct for putting "una marca español" when in fact it is an exception to the rule for adjectives ending in "L" per the lesson, and should be española.

Is it in fact optional?

Saludos. John

In one of the mini quiz questions the answer options gave en not a as the chosen preposition: never have I gone to Paris (it said en Paris, not a Paris). We can use either and they'd be right?

Amable gracias,

Hola,

This seems to translate as "in order to read it [to myself]." Is there a reason why both direct and indirect objects are used, and the direct object is not sufficient - i.e. leerlo??

Saludos

Would it be fair to say that in a negative situation you would not use gran?

So, it would not be un gran atasco, but un atasco grande? (a big traffic jam)

Muchísimas gracias,

I have read the answer given to Ralph.  At the very least this is a VERY bad example to give in a lesson.  The answer demonstrates that either tense could be used depending on the message the writer wishes to convey. 

Hi- I thought pronouns had to come before conjugated verbs. For example, I would think "Explain it to him well" would be translated either "Se lo explica bien" or, if a command,  "Explicáselo bien".  However, in the quiz for this section, the correct answer is verb se lo bien. Can the pronouns be placed after but seperate from the verb?

Thanks
