Spanish language Q&A Forum

is it not more common, due to the context to say "voy a preparar los documentos" vs" Mis documentos" in Castilian Spanish?

Hi, I think the translation for 12 is wrong, it's not saying anything about being "key":

I was wondering how ir + gerund compares with andar + gerund?

The topic is the Mosque-Cathedral in Córdoba

Se encuentra en Córdoba, la que fue la capital del Califato Omeya andalusí, que fue proclamado por Abderramán III en 929.

Could I say:

Se encuentra en Córdoba, la capital del Califato Omeya andalusí, que fue proclamado por Abderramán III en 929.

Gracias

Thank you for introducing us to this song by Amaral.  I have loved the group since hearing the song Cuando Subo la Marea in the series La Casa de Papel.  This was such a powerful song, and also a great one for Spanish learners, and the interactive reader helped me understand it more fully.  I appreciate the varied content and learning opportunities that you provide!

Hello,

I have these sentences from the exercise:

1. In addition, they improve colds.   Además, mejoran los resfriados 

2. They have vitamins and minerals.  y tienen vitaminas y minerales

In sentence 1, though the English is 'colds' (without the article), the Spanish sentence has los resfriados

In sentence 2, both the English and Spanish do NOT have the articles.

Is there a rule for when to use the articles? Can you point me to some info?

Thank you

Would it be "Ella estuvo" here if we add a specific time like "Ella estuvo lavándose el pelo de 8 a la 8:30" ?

Also, we would appreciate the El indefinido progresivo examples with all pronouns as just having 3 is not enough to remember the conjugations.

I see here that querer does not have an accent for the first person preterito indefinido: quise, whereas some verbs have one, like compré - is there a rule that I can apply to distinguish it, or is it just because querer is irregular?

Thanks
