Hay niebla             Literally "there is fog"   (It is foggy)

  I have studied and studied this lesson but I keep getting it wrong. Grrr!

What is the rule, please?

You answered a question at the bottom this section  (to Papi on April 16,            2018) and said:

This sentence could be using both "fui" and "era" depending on the the timeframe when the action happened, being more specific (preterite) or more irrelevant (imperfect).

Could you expand a bit on the "irrelevant (imperfect)" which is an interesting perspective, I hadn't come across before. 

Point in quiz being referred to:

Mi prima ________ Miss Universo. .My cousin was Miss Universe HINT: Conjugate "ser" in Pretérito indefinido

I ask because in the recording for "Yo vivo en Córdoba" it's a "yo" sound. But for the "Yo vivo en el barrio de Gràcia" recording it's a soft j sound resulting in "jo".

When I practice at Duolingo I also sometimes here the y vs. j difference. Are both interchangeable in Spanish? If no, what are the rules for choosing j vs. y?

Or, is the recording audio simply not of good quality?

The lesson says: "We use the construction no + verbo + ningún (a, os, as) to say any." When do you use ningún vs nada for "not any"?

In this lesson " Repetition of indirect object pronouns with verbs (general)

I was reading the questions from "Papi" and did not see a reply for his last question of 13 January 2019.

Is there a reply somewhere?  I was surprised not to see it here. 

This topic is so very confusing, and I hope there will be more lessons/exercices for this topic.  Thank you.
