Spanish language Q&A Forum

I want to ask if you can tell me the format for Letter Writing (Imperfecto/ Indefinido))

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

I thought on reading this lesson that all 'er' verbs with 'o' in would follow this rule to become 'ue' but then got a test on 'toser' and got that wrong (tried to put tueso, not toso).  Plus comer stays as 'o'.

How do we know when to apply this rule, is it a case of just learning the verbs which are semi-regular? Are there a lot or is this pretty doable?

Hola, tengo una pregunta sobre una frase que encontré en un libro que estoy leyendo. El párrafo dice: "Pero había un problema: si se quedaban allí juntos, no habría comida ni agua suficientes para todos."

Mi duda es: ¿Por qué se utiliza el imperfecto de indicativo ("se quedaban" en esta oración condicional en lugar del  imperfecto de subjuntivo ("se quedaran") ? Si ambas son correctas, cual es la diferencia?

Gracias de antemano

I was marked as incorrect for not capitalizing the first letter in the sentence. Are the quizzes scored that harshly? I realize that sentences begin with upper case letters, just didn’t expect on these less than formal settings to be scored on case sensitivity.

I know that this construction (using cómo si + indicative to express indifference) is common in colloquial speech.  My question:  Is this a currently officially excepted grammatical construction by the RAE?  I found one source that says that the RAE says that this construction is common but must be considered incorrect.  But I am not sure if I’m looking at the most appropriate or most updated source.

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.

I just did a test related to this section on "regular" -er verbs and the verb used was escoger. The question did not relate to the 1st person singular so it did have a regular -er ending, but it was little confusing for this to be presented as regular when it has the same g-> j change as coger. There are plenty of completely regular verbs to choose from.
