¿Por qué tenemos que decir "Me recuerdan a aquellas botas" si la preposición "a" es personal y botas no son personas?
I think = creo = I create. How would someone know which I mean?
Hello, I don't understand, why "fascinar" always has to be conjugated in the 3rd person singular or plural, as you have written in the lesson. If I want to say instead of "I am fascinated by Hollywood actresses." the sentence "I am fascinated by you.", I think I have to say "Me fascinas tú." I think, that it's only always in the 3rd person, if it is followed by a verb. And it should be the same with gustar and encantar. Or did I understand something wrong?
I know that letters in Spanish are feminine, but I notice in this reading that the acronym DNI is proceeded by a masculine article. Is that because the word "documento" is masculine? Or are all acronyms masculine in Spanish?
in the phrase Compré estas joyas porque quiero regalarselas a mi esposa. Why do you need the se?
Could this be translated as "Let him (her, it) help you?
While I wrote eres, it was marked incorrect and es being correct.
Just wondering on why?
I am a bit frustrated with this lesson. I guess my question is this: with my limited (A1) knowledge of Spanish, how am I supposed to know "that sometimes the feminine and masculine forms are the same" when repeatedly the test gives adjectives I do not (yet) know in Spanish?
For example, placid. I do not KNOW how to say placid in Spanish, thus how can I know if I should use the feminine adjective form or simply add mente? The assumption of adjective knowledge doesn't work unless, as is sometimes done in the test, you GIVE the adjective form in the test question; example: Los coches son rápidos: van rápidamente. In this example test question it is easy to understand rápidos (masculine form) will change to the feminine because I can SEE rápidos! The frustrates me to get wrong when it seems to be testing me more on knowing a large range of adjectives in Spanish more than the specific assignment of adding the "ly" form! I don't see my scores getting better based on the lesson given.
Hello,
Can you give some examples or guidelines on when and what contexts to use different words/phrases for "everywhere". For example, I'm confused when or what contexts to use dondequiera, por todas partes, por todos lados, and doquiere/por doquiere. Thanks very much for clarification.
