Why do you use 'alguin in this sentence? Do you want anything from the shop? Because it says you cant use algo with a noun and shop is a noun.

Hola Silvia y/o Inma, 

Please could you tell me why the preposition a is used with sobrevivir and yet not used with superar (which was given as an alternative in the hint)? I hope it's not something obvious that my old brain isn't getting, ja ja ja! 

Gracias :)

A great poem in Spanish which should be enjoyed in Spanish. While the translation gives lots of new vocab (with poetic license) the true enjoyment is in the flow of Spanish and not in the clumsiness of an English translation!

But the concept of the subjunctive is different in English and is little understood by most anglófonos. For example:

Te di el dinero para que me dejaras en paz. - In the English subjunctive form "I gave you the money so that you should leave me alone."

Whereas to use "would leave me alone" should be in the conditional: "Te di el dinero para que me dejarías en paz.

Or are the two subjunctive concepts interpreted "differently" ?

Are there any guidelines for the use of the phrase '' ''los demás'' versus ''los otros''  this? Many thanks

In Spanish the word Pachamama is their way of telling if it's a masculine or feminine word.

When using de lo más with estar, specifically, is it preferred or more common to have the adjective agree with the subject, as distinct from when using ser for example? I noticed the specific example sentences using estar both have adjective agreement with the subjects. So I wasn't sure if this was supposed to be indicative or if it's just a quirk of having examples that were chosen at random, and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere else...
