Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hello, I’ve really struggled with this lesson. I’ve finally figured out that it is the verb itself that decides whether or not you use ‘a’ or ‘de’. It just wasn’t clicking. So first I will start learning which preposition follows specific verbs, then I will come back to this. Your lesson is about learning that ‘a+el’ is ‘al’ and ‘de+el’ is ‘del’. And I understand that completely. I don’t recall if there is a lesson about correct propositions after verbs. Please let me know if there is. Thank you!

Apparently this is standard Spanish, but in Caribean Spanish it isÑ

Yo soy casada con un chico millonario

Probably better [in the English original] to say "If you ever travel to Bogotá ..." - [rather than "... traveled ..."].

Listen to the birds sing.

I put ' escuchar al canto de los pájaros'. I don't understand why this is incorrect as another option given was 'escuchar a los pájaros cantar'

I'm not sure when I can use escuchar + a

Gracias

Greetings,

Can you explain why the article is masculine here?

In the phrase "... procede del vocablo latín" you have used a noun ["latín"].  Shouldn't it be an adjective? > "... procede del vocablo latino" ?

Please confirm if both the below sentences are correct in respect of the position of the subject of the sentence. Alguien se la  dio la maleta and se la dio la maleta alguien.

Darn! once again is am trying to re-take a quiz I (really) need to work on. Message displayed after taking first quiz: "This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like." Yesterday I reported this and shortly later I was able to retake the quiz (and still struggle). So, I studied and read ALOT today and want to take the quiz again. Is there a timer I need to know about (i.e. you must wait 12/24 hours before retaking a quiz? Sure would like to get a better understanding on this lesson and quiz's do show if I am "getting it" or not.  As always you help is VERY much appreciated.  :)

Lesson = Me gusta viajar en tren.  Why not gusto?  I like = gusto, right?  Also, pretty much the same question for the use of cuesta, not cuesto in this lesson. Aren't they referring to the (masculine) ticket (el billete)?  I have a feeling I am missing something covered in our lessons!  

(As always, thank you for your help)

Other than the definition, there doesn’t seem to be any content here. And a Spanish topic is written by a French specialist?
