"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?)
Hi Inma,
The translation is given as “every journey has become a thrilling (?) adventure.” If convertirse (en) is the verb of choice here for “become”, would it have been better to give a different translation perhaps “every journey has turned into a thrilling adventure.”
It strikes me that “convertirse en” just doesn’t fit with your lesson where you say that it is used to describe “A radical change in personality or profession,” and is interchangeable with “hacerse” in that regard. Hence a different translation would have steered me towards either “convertirse en” or “volverse” [which is what I chose]. That said, your lessons on this topic deal with people becoming a certain way, rather than situations changing. Perhaps the guidance for the former cannot be carried through to the latter. Can you clarify this in any way? Saludos. John
Shout-out to María Virginia for her superbly enunciated reading!
Hi, Can you give some information about prepositions? Like: in, on, etc.
It was very interesting to learn about the exams for public sector jobs in Spain. Good range of vocabulary and verb tenses. The native speaker was appropriately paced and clear for B1. Thank you for this exercise.

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

My quiz included the example: 'Éramos nosotros los que llamamos a la puerta.'
Why is the pronoun positioned after the conjugated verb in this case?
I am confused about the translation for a section of this exercise. That section is: "I like King Baltazar". For this, I wrote "A mí me gusta al Rey Baltasar", but the corrected answer/translation was presented as "A mí me gusta el rey Baltasar". I thought the preposition "a" needed to be inserted after use of gusta if the reference was to a person (in this case "rey Baltasar" --- lower case in "rey" notwithstanding). Apparently, I am wrong. Could you please explain why "el" and not "al" was correct?
