I answered a question with Ustedes se curan and it was marked wrong. The correct answer was se curan without the ustedes. I don't understand why both answers aren't correct. In the conjugation table you have the option to use or not use the pronoun.
I learned that when referring to parts of the body, not to use the pronoun mi because it is understood that it is my body. Also does the verb estar refer to something temporary. If so, why does a sentence say va a ser una experiencia relajante?
How do learners remember when to use the "de" described above? Do native speakers learn it only from growing up with the language? I don't see any particular rule for knowing when to use the "de" and when not to--how "wrong" is it to omit the "de?"
Juan trajo unas flores a Ana.
Juan brought Ana some flowers.
Juan le trajo unas flores.
Juan brought her some flowers. (To whom? To Ana).
Why is le used instead of se. Se means her
Le duele la pierna.
His/her/your leg hurts. here you use le for her too. is other place wrong?
I went and got link. Pronombre de complemento indirecto: Pronoun Type. How to use Pronombre de complemento indirecto in Spanish (kwiziq.com)
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

When I'm requested to answer a question including the word 'you' as in 'do you like...?' it doesn't specify whether you are asking one person or more than one. I have answered for one person and the answer has been the plural answer so it says I'm wrong.
If the main clause uses a tense or a mood that implies a future action, for example El Imperativo or El Futuro Simple, then the por si/por si acaso clause uses El Presente (probable) or El Pretérito Imperfecto Subjuntivo (less probable)
Hi
Could the above sentence be written without 'sobre'? As it would then be similar to the English sentence. If not what difference does sobre make to the meaning of the sentence?
