Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi there, I have (belatedly) discovered Notebooks and am finding these a great way to test myself across different levels and hone in on my weak points. I've added a load of lessons, but it feels like it's focussing very much on the higher level (B2) ones. I want to interleave my practice with my weak points from A2 and B1 too. 

Question: how does it decide which lessons to test from a notebook? Is it random? Or based on your current %? Or something else? 

Also, I'd LOVE a feature where it just quizzes you from your weakest lessons *of those you have already been quizzed on*, across all levels. Basically that's what I'm trying to achieve. 

No entiendo por qué la traducción de "por los propios festeros" será "by party-goers themselves"

"festero" significa "party-goer"??

I thought it stated that ninguna or ninguno could not be used with a nouns??

“I am confused when " preterito " is appended to most of the tenses. This practice is not widely used in Spain or Latin countries. Why not use the tenses which are commonly used. I know that the preterite is used for past tense so when preterito perfecto subjuntivo is mentioned I expect that the past subjunctive is meant NOT the perfect subjunctive! I wonder whether other participants experience the same problem.“  In school, we never learned the English equivalents of these various subjunctive terms.  We didn’t really learn much about the subjunctive in English at all.  It was a whole new concept beginning to learn it in Spanish.  How is it taught to Spanish speaking children? Do they find it confusing?

Does «media naranja» (soulmate) literally mean "orange sock"? How did this term for "soulmate" develop in Spanish culture?

If the interrogative needs cuándo then: ¿Dice la pantalla  cuándo aterriza el avión?

But for a non-question: La pantalla no dice cuando aterriza el avión.

yet the Kwiziq answer is: La pantalla no dice cuándo aterriza el avión. 

HELP? por favor . . .

"con todas las velas?" Right now it says "todas la velas"

In this exercise the preterit 3rd person singular of "creer" is shown as "crió" whereas in my other Spanish dictionaries it is shown as "creció". Is the former conjugation specific to Latin America whilst the latter (creció) is specific to Spain?

may i check if both situations mean the same thing?

I will speak to her when she gets home.

because i do not know when will she get home so i will use subjunctive.

How about if i DO know when she will get home and i am referring to the future time when she gets home, say maybe 9pm, is this still using subjunctive? although i do know the time, we are speaking of a non general situation that is happening in the future. Does this trigger the subjunctive too?

Thanks

¿select ...CómoQuiénDóndeQué vas a trabajar? Does not it (also) mean How are you going to work? In what manner?
