Spanish language Q&A Forum

For those that might be interested...

The adaptation of the famous novel 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' (Cien Años de Soledad) by Gabriel García Márquez has finally arrived on Netflix! 

Another Spanish film that I found very interesting is 'The Red Virgin' (La Virgen Roja) depicting the life of the famous Spanish writer Hildegart Rodríguez. This film is on Amazon Prime. 

Both great films for practising our listening skills. 😀

Is there a general rule in Spanish about when the definite article must be used and when it can be omitted? Eg why do azúcar, sodio, carbohidratos and lácteos need the definite article but not pescado, marisco, granos and huevos? 

Not a question but idk why you would put a phrase like Force Majeure. How many people even know what that means in english let alone how to translate to spanish while at the B2 level.

.....antes fue a tontaría. I believe this should be 'lo de que' as 'ir is conjugated, but the answer shown as correct is 'lo de', why?

it says to use the EN sentance order - what is that? Where can I find the answer?

Shouldn't this be suavemente? Softly is an adverb here not an adjective?

This lesson tells when it uses the accento - but DOESN"T tell what it means/how to use with out the accento so can't see alternative

Hello. Can someone provide insight please? It says you use Hay in front of a noun so why is it used to say something is foggy. I am sure that foggy is an adjective just like the word sunny so why is esta used to say something is sunny but you can’t use it to say it is foggy?

so maybe like this?

Practico el Español estudiando diariamente. 

How do we get lessons to clear from our listing.  I seem to do the lesson, get both test questions correct, but the lesson stays in my list.'

Thanks.
