Line: Kwizbot no puedo esperar a ver todas esas pintura rupestres. 

You         no puedo esperar a ver todas esas pinturas ropestres.

Could you explain why there is no “S” on pintura.  Is this a special case? if so what lesson would attach to this? 

Thank you,

Nicole

¡Hola!

Let's have a look at the following sentences:

1) Mis padres querían que estudiara Derecho

2) Susana quería que le hubiera traído fresas, pero no pude

Could you tell me if Pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo is used in the second sentence to emphasize  that somebody didn't manage to bring strawberries, however the result of the first one is unknown?

Regards,

Alexander 

¡Hola!

Could you tell me if it is indicativo or subjuntivo that  follows the expression:

¿No es cierto que...?

Regards,

Alexander

In Milan it is raining

Kwizbot En Milán está lloviendo 

You Está lloviendo en Milán

Why is my reply not OK?

and this one:

In the east, in Bari there's a storm

Kwizbot En el este, en Bari hay tormenta 

You En el este, en Bari hay una tormenta

Questioin: Would it not be acceptable to use "una" here, since it's a manifestation and not a condition like cloudy?

i.e. there's a cloud: hay un nube; it's cloudy: está nublado (I know it strays a bit from the "hay" format, but it's the only example I can think of. )

Thank you.

In an example above you say, "Ellos estan delgados". I thought SER was used to describe physical characteristics i.e. "El es alto." To say Ellos estan delgados would imply they are thin now but they didn't used to be thin. Or that they appear thin. Or am I wrong?

Can we drop en? Would it be correct?

Can we also drop para from: nada dura para toda la vida?

Previously, I have only come across en casa without the defnite article.

I would like to sk when do we use subjuntivo after cuando?

Why is incorrect to say, "Fueron vacaciones geniales"? According to the quiz, one must say, "Fueron unas vacaciones geniales"

Hello, in this example linked to the lesson : So my question is when is it antes de and when is it antes que ? Is antes de only for temporal subjects (antes de la cena...) ? And is there also después que ? Thank you.

No es justo que vosotros antes que nosotros. (It's not fair that you'll die before us.) HINT: Conjugate "morir" in El Presente de Subjuntivo.
