In regard to "In Spain, there is a large family of potters" has the hint: "put "large" in front of "family", potter = alfarero/a".
The first hint seems a little misleading. Shouldn't we use "familia grande" and not "gran familia" if we are translating large family since it describes the size of the family rather than the quality/inherent characteristic of greatness of the family?
Use "recordar" for "to remind of..." ( = idea brought to your mind)
Use "recordar que" for "to remind that..."Eso ________ tengo que recoger a mi hijo del colegio en 5 minutos. That reminds me that I have to pick up my son from school in 5 minutes.(HINT: it conveys something is brought to her mind)
Hola, I’m confused, if I use the clue (brought to mind) I get the answer wrong (the correct answer requires que). Please clarify, muchas gracias, Shirley.
Este verano mis circunstancias personales me han impedido viajar fuera. Porque no podemos usar el préterito aquí ? El marco de tiempos es el verano que es más largo de un mes.

customer: quiero un café.
me: qué tamaño?
customer: pequeño por favor.
(the coffee shop in question has creative names for its sizes, so I often hold up a cup to clarify. :p)
me, holding up a small cup: cómo esto?
my understanding is that since the phrase "like this?" doesn't contain a noun after "this," then "esto" should be used. but technically we've been talking about "el tamaño," so is "este" correct instead? I've never been able to find something explain this exact scenario. 😅
Hello Kwiziq team .
I have a question concerning the use of the subjunctive mood.
1. No porque sea gratis significa que me lo vaya a comer todo
2. No porque sea gratis me lo voy a comer todo.
Are both phrases correct ? What is the nuance when you opt to use the subjunctive or the indicative mood.
Thank you in advance. Your answers are always helpful in solving our grammatical doubts
Inma's answer below on time clauses and manner clauses got my attention and I looked at other web sites to learn about the types of adverbial clauses. This is a rich topic with lots to explore. It would be great if you could do a lesson on Kwiziq on the types of adverbial clauses.
Puedo usar el futuro simples en esta oracione? "En la reunión, vamos a hablar de nuevas tecnologías y vamos a intercambiar ideas." Podria decir: "hablaremos de nuevas tecnologias y intercambiaremos ideas"?
For throughout the year you have suggested 'durante todo el ano but isn't al largo del ano also acceptable? (Sorry I could not type the tilde). Similarly sould you say ser recomendable as well as ser aconsejable for it is recommended?
Many thanks
Linda
