I did not catch the first spoken sentence. I did not at all hear "tenemos mucha hambre y sed". Was something else said instead?
in numbers is this 12:45With digital times. Do people do like 2:05 or 2:55 some how.Pondering... I would guess people have usual ways they do it. I don't think I have ever said 15 to 2... always 145. ... and you have appointment at say 2. The person might say you appointment is in 10 minutes if the time is 1:50. I think digital clocks have changed things. I wonder if children growing up now know what clockwise means and counter clockwise. ??? Spanish prolly has words for that too.
What's the difference if I use 'todos los correos' instead in the first example?
I'm also very confused by this lesson...
The tip in the text of this lesson states "You will never find es followed by bien/mal. However, está can be followed by bueno/malo, but the meaning will be different" (it doesn't really explain what that difference is though).
In the test I checked "Está malo que comas 6 veces al día." (It's bad to eat 6 times a day) as valid and it was marked as wrong. "Está buen que ayudes a tu hermana con los deberes" (It's good that you help your sister with her homework.) was also marked as wrong and it's not easy for me to see why.
It's early in the morning, so perhaps I'm missing something obvious?
Gracias

Gracias Silvia for reminding me to find time to read this classic!
I have had 2 copies of this wonderful novel ready and waiting to be read for some time now; one English copy and the other in Spanish.
For anyone that may be interested, Netflix are showing the adaptation of this fabulous story- it was released on the 17th I believe. It's my Netflix film for this weekend :))
I believe that according to RAE, the vosotros form of both verbs should have a tilde – creáis.
This problem is in addition to the yo form problem others have mentioned.
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 was wondering how ir + gerund compares with andar + gerund?
Are there other similar idiomatic expressions or must one use the conventional gramatical constructs? For example:
If you were me... (Tú que yo?)
If I were him... (Yo que él?)
If he were you... (Él que tu?)
etc.
