Thank you Inma > It certainly provided us with an interesting illustration of several figurative expressions ! ... However, none of my dictionaries included a translation of "caña" which conveys Carlota's "awesomeness" [as in the title of the passage]. Perhaps we can interpret "caña" in the sense that Carlota acts as a "supporting pillar" for anyone who needs her help?
The answer appears to treat estar as a verb like gustar. It doesn´t appear as such in your list. What am I missing?
¿Por qué tenemos que decir "Me recuerdan a aquellas botas" si la preposición "a" es personal y botas no son personas?
Nos piden usar EN orden cuando traducimos esta frase:Muchas gracias por la información! Además, parece. ¿Qué es EN orden?
While I understand the explanation via timeframes and don't want to complicate things unnecessarily, this made me think:
Can't I use the imperfect (progressive) with such timeframes, too?
Ayer estaba limpiando la casa. (Should be ok.)
Ayer entre la 1 y las 2 estaba limpiando la casa. (?)
Ayer entre la 1 y las 2 estaba limpiando la casa cuando algo me asustó. (Should be ok.)
That is, can't the imperfect (progressive) be used with an explicit timeframe, too, as long as its function is descriptive or establishing a background, i.e. as long as the aspectual semantics are imperfective within the timeframe?
Hi, I'm wondering if you can use this construction in cases where the "future time indication" is implicit. For example:
¿Vas al concierto?
When both participants know that "the concert" is going to take place next week. If that's not incorrect, does it sound more or less natural than "¿Vas a ir al concierto?" ?
Thanks!

I am in the Latin American course. Anaranjado is more common for orange in Latin America. Anaranjado does change -o or -a endings.
