Eso encontré en mis kwizzes. Pues, ya sé que necesito usar "por" y no "para", pero tengo otras preguntas más importantes... 🤣 ¿Eso es un dicho o un refrán de hispanohablantes, o simplemente kwizbot haciendo un chiste?

How can I know which version you want?

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.

The poem or the Collection

Was the Collection of verses published when the poet was 19 or just that one poem? Slightly ambiguous English phrasing . . .

Question about adjective/adverb placementAquí se vende el periódico barato.

Here the newspaper is sold cheaply.

I realize "barato" can work as an adjective or an adverb, but given its placement within the sentence used in the example, this reads to me like "The cheap newspaper is sold here," as if the expensive newspaper is sold across the street—they probably charge you just to look at the headlines!

Would it be clearer to say, "Aquí se vende barato el periódico"? Or am I mistaken in that this could only be translated as "cheaply" no matter where "barato" appears?

Subjunctive or indicative?

If I want to find when someone is coming to visit would I use the subjunctive as it's an unknown e.g.

¿Cuando vayas a venir a verme?

Or would I use the indicative?
