On the quiz, there was the statement "El hecho de que yo quiera ir al concierto contigo no nos hace pareja." I thought hechos (facts) were expressed in the indicative?
I was taught to use the phrase, "maquillarse la cara". Is "maquillar su cara" natural to say in Spanish?
I wrote "voy a maquillarle la cara", and I think this is also correct.
Hello,
One of the questions involved translating a sentence that mentions a “youngest daughter.” I used “muy joven” but the answer was “pequeño.” I thought that pequeño means small, so this use of the word surprises me. Is it just one of those things one has to know?
Thanks for your help!

What is the difference between ‘el pretérito perfecto’ and ‘el pretérito perfecto compuesto’ ?
My question from yesterday was poorly worded. One sees "algo que" with most verbs as in "Tiene algo que declarar/hacer" but one sees "algo de" or "algo para" with "Tiene algo de comer/beber?" or "Tiene algo para comer/beber?" Most verbs seem to take "algo que" in translators when there is an infinitive afterward and certainly when there is a conjugated verb after "algo." Are "algo de comer/beber" and "algo para comer/beber" just idioms or set phrases? If not, when does one use "algo que" vs "algo de " (which can also mean some or a bit of) and "algo para"?
¿Enserio güey? Qué tal? Formal?
When is "de la mañana" used?
I think that "deporte" in Latin American Spanish should be translated as: I don't play sports or I don't do sports.
Or, the word "deporte" should be substituted with "ejercicio."
