Why is con used in this sentence: yo sueno con vivir in Cuba? Co means with right?
I can conjugate Tener in the present tense while asleep. I can conjugate Tener in the present tense if I was no longer alive. Why does this bot want me to continue to practice conjugating Tener in the present tense? How do I move past a subject. This is a waste of time. Thanks for your help.
I answered “están aconsejando” but it was wrong - it notes that “estan aconsejando” is the correct answer…
But NOTHING in the lesson explains this

I am studying Latin Am Spanish and my Mexican teacher told me that preterite perfect is used to describe past experiences (even those finished in the past) AI confirms this : Visité México" is the simple past tense (preterite) and is used for actions that were completed in the past. If you're saying "I visited Mexico" as a specific event that happened, this is the way to go.
"He visitado México" is the present perfect tense and is used to talk about actions that were completed at some indefinite point in the past and have relevance to the present. If you're expressing that you've visited Mexico at some time in your life up to now, this is a good choice.
So it comes down to whether you're highlighting a specific past event (Visité) or a general experience up to now (He visitado). Got another language question? I’m here for it.
No entiendo por qué la traducción de "por los propios festeros" será "by party-goers themselves"
"festero" significa "party-goer"??
Cómo explicarías "le" en la siguiente frase?
Es "the accidental se'?
Sus ojos se le llenaron de
lágrimas.
Hello. The following example in this lesson threw me off: "After the party we will call a taxi" (Despues de fiesta llamamos un taxi). My question is why was the present tense ("llamamos"), and not the future tense ("llamaremos"), used here? My guess is that the future time is very short (i.e., right after the party). If this is correct, is there a general rule for a given time frame that would require use of the future tense? Thank you for any clarification.
Why is vamos a la biblioteca correct, and vamos a Cordoba is not? {The correction says I should say vamos IR A Cordoba.
