“I am confused when " preterito " is appended to most of the tenses. This practice is not widely used in Spain or Latin countries. Why not use the tenses which are commonly used. I know that the preterite is used for past tense so when preterito perfecto subjuntivo is mentioned I expect that the past subjunctive is meant NOT the perfect subjunctive! I wonder whether other participants experience the same problem.“ In school, we never learned the English equivalents of these various subjunctive terms. We didn’t really learn much about the subjunctive in English at all. It was a whole new concept beginning to learn it in Spanish. How is it taught to Spanish speaking children? Do they find it confusing?

Why is the following sentence in the imperfect subjunctive? Could it not use the present?
Me gustaría que vieran el deporte como una herramienta para empoderarse.
Thank you!
1. why is the answer sentence being phrased as 'the idea attracted me' when the sentence given is I was attracted to the idea?
2. it a esquiar a Europa. why does it uses 'a' instead of 'en'?
3. en Argentina se pueden practica... why is this se pueden in plural and not se puede in singular?
3. drop by is given as dejarse caer por.. can we still use pasar por?
I´m having fluctuating percentages for topics that I´ve created a notebook for and was correct on for over 30 times in a row. The percentage goes up and down but never significantly improves, even after getting them correct 10 times in a row it will drop from 97% to 91%. Can the percentages consistently reflect progress?
The two topics in particular are:
A0: Using vivo en + [city/country/region] to say where you live in Spanish
A0: How to say I have / you have in Spanish (possession)
This lesson doesn't address decidir caminar vs decidir a caminar
in numbers is this 12:45With digital times. Do people do like 2:05 or 2:55 some how.Pondering... I would guess people have usual ways they do it. I don't think I have ever said 15 to 2... always 145. ... and you have appointment at say 2. The person might say you appointment is in 10 minutes if the time is 1:50. I think digital clocks have changed things. I wonder if children growing up now know what clockwise means and counter clockwise. ??? Spanish prolly has words for that too.

In the same way that galesa in the first example is equivalent to "Welsh," perhaps Esta torera es cordobesa is more equivalent to "This bullfighter (female) is Cordoban."
Why is “I feel like an idiot dressed up like a clown” reflexive? Idiot is a noun. I had this question on a quiz.
