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?

If the author was travelling to Peru and he said he spoke Spanish, is this article Peru Spanish or Spanish Spanish?

Why is vamos a la biblioteca correct, and vamos a Cordoba is not?  {The correction says I should say vamos IR A Cordoba.

I am having trouble understanding the difference between "perderse" and "perder" in the context of missing an opportunity.  For example, if you were talking to someone about not coming to a move with you, could you say "perdiste la oportunidad de ver la pelicula"?  Could you also say "te perdiste la pelicula"?  Would both of these be correct? 

En la segunda oración... ¿Solo puede ser (como dado en la traducción), o puede ser también ? 

Because... the English given was "Finally we are going on a cruise" (literally, "Por fin vamos de crucero"); and of course "Por fin vamos a ir de crucero" would literally be "Finally we are going to go on a cruise".  I understand that the meaning underneath the use of the present tense English translation that was given indicates a future event; I'm just hoping for clarity about the correctness or acceptability of using the present tense in Spanish in this case.  Thank you!

I put inmediatamente, it said wrong, it's inmediamente. So next time I put inmediamente and it said wrong, it's inmediatamente! Which is it?

"quien había fallecido"

Just wondering, why is it que in the first example and quien in the second?

Is there any problem with adding "se" to the verb "reír" here? 

Despite the considerable damage inflicted is translated as:

A pesar del hecho de que se produjeron numerosos daños

Is it possible to say  'A pesar de que se produjeron numerosos daños'?

The first one sounds like a literal translation of 'despite the fact that' and very formal

If both are correct which is the most natural?

Gracias

Hi,

I don't understand how the above sentence can translate as 'They say that love conquers all'.  There doesn't seem to be a word that would translate as to conquer.

Or am I missing something?

Gracias.
