Spanish language Q&A Forum

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

?Son iguales, no?:

Hace anos iba a esa clase

Hace anos solia ir a esa clase.

What is the exact wording of the audio for the following sentences? I can´t work out what is being said at the end of each of the sentences.
Un euro está a 0.88 libras.   El dólar estaba a 0.75 libras.  La libra estará a 1.14 euros.

Would it be possible to create a lesson on how to say different kinds of money - For example, dollars and cents, euro and cents, pounds and pennies, and any other major currencies?
Kind regards, Ellen

In this sentence:  "Les lazo la pelota y deben apagarla con las dos manos."  

I throw you the ball, and you must stop it with two hands.

I don't understand the use of 'Les" is it referring to 'you"?

The text says:

Desde entonces, hemos sido como uña y carne

In all the lessons with desde to mean 'since' we are told to use the present tense.

I put 'Desde entonces somos como uña y carne' but was marked wrong. What is the error here?

In this example above, a = from:

Tú pides demasiado a la vida.

You ask too much from life.

Él pide 100000 pesos al banco.

He is asking for 100000 pesos from the bank.

I would expect that we would use “del”, so is “al” correct?

Of all the paragraphs I've practiced in Kwiziq, this one has to have been the worst! I truly hope there will be no others like it. This was a TWO sentence paragraph! The second sentence went on and on for over 30 words! The voice inflections were quite misleading.  Horrible.

All the examples have nouns of the same gender/number on both ends of the sentence. What if it was "Maria es igual de alt_ que los gemelos"? Is it "alta" because Maria, or is "altos" because "los gemelos"?
