In a 10-question test these was the question:
¿Por qué lo ________ ?
Why are you cursing him?
I expected the answer would be a gerund, but it was not. Why was "cursing" used and not "curse?" As in, "Why (do) you curse him?"
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 . . .
"Encuentra a Andrew atractivo." Sounds funny to me, but I'm not a native speaker.
I got a little stumped on this one, but I wrote "Ella piensa que es atractivo (or would it be "sea" because of pensar?)
"Tardé unas pocas horas en hacerlo" is right as well, isn't it?
Hi,
The above sentence seems to satisfy the requirements for sino: the first part is negative and the second part is a substitution.
Can you please explain why is requires pero and not sino.
Gracias y saludos.

Would it be more correct to change this sample sentence:
"Puede que yo haya sido un poco brusca, pero tenía que decir la verdad."
Vs.
"Puede que yo haya ESTADO un poco brusca....."? \
Thanks for your input.
This was an excellent lesson - topical of course, but so easy to follow because of the perfect diction. Gracias. John
Tengo una pregunta.
¿Que son algunas comidas tipicas en Paraguay?
>In sentences where the indirect object is represented by "a + pronoun", and it is at the beginning of the sentence, for example "a mí, a tí, a ella", it is necessary to repeat the indirect object by using the "short" pronoun (me, te, le, nos, os, les) in the same sentence.
I think this should be reworded. That "and it is at the beginning of the sentence" makes it seem like you don't need the shrot pronoun if you put the "a + pronoun" elsewhere in the sentence. I know one of the examples and the little tip box later clarify this, but I still think rewording that paragraph would help.
