Greetings everyone
I would like to ask why the correct answer is the option:
La persona con quien fui a la fiesta era mi padre
while the answer
La persona con la que fui a la fiesta era mi padre
is marked as nearly correct when both options are acceptable, according to the lesson above.
Mi vecina Clara, que es peluquera, tiene su propio salón de belleza.
why we didnt say una peluquera
Does “¿Dónde estarán?” mean both “where will they be?” and “where might they be?” ?
I would think there would be different ways to express the two different meanings in Spanish.
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.
Hi, why is it 'esto es' and not 'eso es', as it is translated as 'that is'?
Thank you,
Jan
One of the examples is:
Su actitud se volvió violenta de repente.
Is it correct to assume that the change is a lasting one, as with someone who got hit on the head with a shovel and after that was a violent person?
Compared to:
Su actitud se puso violenta de repente.
In this case, cowboys in a saloon in a Western movie insult someone and he stands up quickly and draws his gun?
Just want to double check that these differences are correct. Thanks.
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

So, Juan was supplying both sides of the Revolution with his harina tortillas and also took them across the Rio Grande? I always wondered where Taco John's restaurants came from! Or was that Taco Bell's?
The problem with saying 'either no longer true or not relevant' here creates a grey area because normally if we understand a condition to not be relevant, we would use the imperfecto, surely? See the first question in the quiz for example.
