Spanish language Q&A Forum

In this lesson it said to translate “Dad’s computer”. So I entered “La computadora de papá”. It said that is incorrect and should be “El ordenador de papá”. Can you help me understand why computadora would not be correct? Thank you!

Hola,

I have not seen this type of construction before which i think translates as "Settling here ........"  Is it just something common in Spanish that we learn as we go along or is there a lesson about it?

Another point .... would it be possible to get translations of the weekly lessons underneath the final transcript when the exercise is finished, so that we can check our understanding?

At the other hand there are no examples for "por.

Can "por" also be interpreted as "by" 

The answer to ‘they were about to finish their exam’ is given as ‘Han estado a punto de...’   

there’s no sense that this is the situation of ‘but something intervened’, and it doesn’t feel like a natural ‘perfecto’ tense to me, more just an action in the past. So I’m wondering why the perfecto was chosen here?

Wouldn't "rosas" be the correct form of the adjective to go with "lámparas"?

In a quiz, I wrote "Estamos adentro de la sala." and it got marked wrong.  It said that the only correct answer was "Estamos dentro de la sala."  In the notes on this topic, it says that "adentro" and be used for "inside a place" but not for "inside a thing".  It seems like "la sala" is a place.  Why is it wrong to use "adentro" in this case?
