I recently read "se queda embarazada", and I also found it on 20Minutos. However, apparently, being pregnant is not a permanent change. Is this considered a special case?

Are the different types of adverbs significant?

(1) Most of the adverbs on the list are used with adjectives: demasiado verdes, muy estricta, un poco cansadas, bastante ruidoso, tan rápidamente.

(2) But mucho is different as it is used with verbs: te quiere mucho, no dormí mucho. And it wouldn’t seem to work with adjectives, for example, los platanos están mucho verdes needs to be stated as muy verdes.

(3) Tanto is different again, as it functions as a direct object. No puedes comer tanto.

Are these differences important, and should we learn more about these different categories of adverbs? Thanks.

Me pediste perdón

Hi,

The translation given for the above is 'You apologised to me'.

I thought it meant 'You asked me for forgiveness', because You were doing the asking. Would 'apologised' not be a different word?

I know that I may translating more literally, but I am I completely wrong?

Saludos,

Colin

Question regarding Mr. Ramirez not being able to see a caller.

It seems to me that this "HINT" is misplaced. The question seems clearly to be an if/conditional expression so what exactly is the point of the "wish/intention in the present"??

Using fractions with measurement units

Would we use this format: quiero medio kilo de res molido, quiero un mitad de una copa de vino, añade tres cuartos de una tasa de azucar, dame doble de lo que diste a él. Thanks. (PS The return key doesn’t work in this question box on the iPad.)

When to use articles and when not

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

Amrutha

verb in the 3rd person plural impersonal or not

How to say to have something done with a sentence using the verb in the 3rd person plural

this is the other lesson that uses 3rd person plural verb conjugation.

I find this lesson very similar to the other and I cannot see any differences at all.

for example,

me han robado . this could be for this lesson of being impersonal but this can only be under the other lesson that something negative happened or something was done on me.

Are they actually the same thing?

Descriptors that could be both ser or esta depending on context

In the example "Usted está pálido", I might be referring to someone looking unwell, correct? However, if I was pointing out that someone is pale because they are very white skinned just by nature and I was describing them to a friend, I would say "El es muy pálido", correct? And use the ser conjugation?
