Pensar sobreHi Inma, I read your response below to Anna’s question “en vs sobre” and noted that there are three more examples of the use of “sobre” in the lesson.
¿Qué pensáis vosotros sobre este tema?
Nosotros pensamos sobre la situación política del país.
¿Qué piensan ustedes sobre esta candidata?
It seems to me, as you indicate in your response below, that “pensar sobre” es associated with an opinion, but I’m not sure about the details.
“Qué + pensar + sobre” seems to be a construction to ask for an opinion, the same as we would in English. “What do you think about…”
I’m not sure about the example that begins with “Nosotros pensamos sobre…” but it seems to indicate that they are forming an opinion.
Is this correct? Thanks.
One of the English sentences to translate were 'the Spanish colonization' but the answer was 'Pasando por la colonizacion espanola'. I think part of the English sentence is missing?

I've been wondering about this topic because I've heard people using "todos l@s" around town. Thanks for the thorough explanation.
The lesson addresses masculine singular nouns but not feminine singular nouns.
Would we say:
El guiso lleva mucha salvia.
OR Comiste mucha coliflor.
Thanks.
I’m confused, is there another way to determine when to use a direct or indirect pronoun? Eg, how do you apply “for whom, to whom” in this sentence:
Me explicó su porqué pero no le creí. She explained her reason but I didn't believe her.
Muchas gracias,Shirley.
Hi there!
What are the other pronouns? What if we want to say: "They like the train"? Do those pronouns follow the rules of the reflective ones? So, is it: "se gusta el tren"?
Can you clarify rules please. I thought cuando + subjunctive was used for something that would happen therefore you needed a future tense or an imperative and not a continuous present as in estamos ahorrandothanks julie
Are anda and vaya interchangeable when used to express surprise?
I think trifle is British English. Can someone tell me what it means in American English?
Regarding this quiz question:
Tengo estos dos pares de botas, ¿________prefieres?
The answer is “cuáles” which means that “par” is plural, and not singular as in English. Is this correct? In general, when do we think of groups as plural?
Also, how does this affect general usage? Do we say, “los par son bonitos”? Thanks.
