Spanish language Q&A Forum

Pensé que "encontrarse con" significaba un encuentro planeado mientras que "encontrarse a" significaba un encuentro casual. ¿Estoy equivocado?

I think you have the A1 and B1 verb lists switched for this topic.  There are 28 verbs on the A1 list, including some less common ones like hervir, invertir, negar, and tremblar.  

But then there are only 15 basic verbs on the B1 list.  

Could you explain the quiz quiestion that I got wrong? I chose "eso", for "I like that one" (a boligrafo). The correct answer was "ese". Yet "eso" is listed a correct option in the lesson if the object is not named in the sentence. Thanks. 

One of the test questions is:

"________ al colegio ha habido problemas.

Since this girl arrived at school there have been problems."

which I answered as:

"Ya que esta niña llegó",

which was marked as wrong.

Why can't I think that "Since" here has causal value, which would render my answer correct?

I´ve just learned that I can use qué+ser to definite a meaning of what is it.

Why the sentence doesn´t add ser? Thanks.

¿________ significa "presumido"?

Hola - if the answer to the question is 1, would the ‘ser’ variant be ‘es’? Gracias!

Should the test questions note that the answer should be for Spain vs Central/South America? 

customer: quiero un café.

me: qué tamaño?

customer: pequeño por favor.

(the coffee shop in question has creative names for its sizes, so I often hold up a cup to clarify. :p)

me, holding up a small cup: cómo esto?

my understanding is that since the phrase "like this?" doesn't contain a noun after "this," then "esto" should be used. but technically we've been talking about "el tamaño," so is "este" correct instead? I've never been able to find something explain this exact scenario. 😅
