Spanish language Q&A Forum

Pitting your last two points against each other, should this be "Y email?" or "E email?"

The correct answer to one of the questions is "prefiero que ellas cocinéis las paella".  ¿Y cómo?

It says that the correct answer is  "QUERÍAMOS".  I don't understand why you don't use "quisimos".  We wanted to help and actually did help, so it is a completed action.

Why is “I feel like an idiot dressed up like a clown” reflexive? Idiot is a noun. I had this question on a quiz. 

The above is an A2 question and the expected answer is te however no guidance is given that a singular informal tense is to be used.

Couldn't le, les or os also be used here if no further context is given.

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?

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
