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?
te recomendaría que exploraras las ruinas en la selva y disfrutar la naturaleza
In this phrase why isn't the second verb following recomendar also a subjunctive?
Also I'm not sure why we would say tesoro español o tesoro gótico but tesoro maya is invariable

It offers solutions with LESS impact. I put MENOS impacto and don't understand why this is incorrect. I understand MENOR to mean smaller or younger

¡Hola! Tengo una preguntita...
Why do we use "es sabroso" here when in other exercises we've opted for "está rico/delicioso etc", which seems to be a similar idea?
¡Muchas gracias!

Couldn't you also express the last sentence like this?:
Será un día estupendo!
Super helpful! Thanks again Inma! Shirley.
I have noticed that the word “video” is pronounced differently in Spain and Latin America. In Latin America, the word is pronounced as 3 syllables and the accent is on the “e” (2nd or middle syllable). In contrast, in Spain the word seems to be pronounced with the accent on the “i” (1st syllable) and it seems like the word may only have 2 syllables in the peninsular pronunciation (with the “eo” pronounced as a one syllable diphthong). Is this correct, and if not, what is going on here?
"Le compré flores."
Does this mean:
I bought her flowers (for her)
or
I bought flowers from her
How do I make it clearer, unambiguous?
Thank you.
The structure seems clear: a las dos horas de = within two hours of; a los tres años de = within three years of, etc. The question was this, though:
________, tuve que llamar al médico.
Within 2 hours of being sick, I had to call the doctor.My answer was: a las dos horas de vomitar, whereas the correct answer was a las dos horas vomitar. ¿Por qué?Find your Spanish level for FREE
