Apparently this is standard Spanish, but in Caribean Spanish it isÑ
Yo soy casada con un chico millonario
The explanation says we always have to use the definite article with the activity. The example given there is tennis:...se me da bien al tenis. But in the quiz the correct response is "No se me da bien arreglar cosas". Is arreglar cosas not an activity? We have to actively arrange things/matters.
Thank you,
Sheila
Why es “que flores” correct? I thought “cual flores” would be the correct response… the question was “what flowers do you prefer?”
I think this lesson would be better if it started with an explanation of what an impersonal expression is.
To say "He must have closed the door.", does one simply switch to the present indicative of deber and say "Él debe haber cerrado la puerta." or can one stay with the simple conditional and say "Debería haber cerrado la puerta." and translate it into English as must or should, depending on context?
I think this issue boils down to trying to know when to translate deber as "should" or as "must". ¿Puedes ayudarme?
Is there a general rule about when the definite article must be used? Eg, in this exercise why does ‘fortuna’ not have one while abundancia, prosperidad and economía do?
Note that the last example above expressing it's about to rain, could also use por with the same meaning: "Está por llover"
Hola, what is the difference between estar por and estar para. Muchas gracias, shirley.
Por qué se dice 'evitar propagar' en vez de 'evitar propagando'
HI
Can you send me advance lesson on all tocar uses
Thanks
I see that, at the bottom of this lesson, there's a note that says what "pluscamperfecto" refers to. It's a very simple explanation -- to talk about something that had happened.
It would be SO helpful to have these short explanations of what a given grammar term means at the TOP of the lesson, just below the term for the lesson. I look at all these grammar terms and my eyes cross. I have no idea what they mean and I start to feel like there is no way I can learn Spanish because I'm so lost in all these terms. Taking the time to learn grammar terms seems like a tedious distraction from just learning to speak Spanish: a roadblock.
It's not uncommon for people in the US to have never learned grammar, so on behalf of myself, and all the mediocre public school graduates, I implore you: move the explanation for what a grammar term is to the top of the lesson. It's such a simple change and will make learning so much more accessible and these lessons so much more meaningful.
