"Los turistas no ________ al guía del grupo.
The tourists do not understand the group guide.(HINT: Conjugate "entender" in El Presente)"
¿Por qué dice "al guía" en la oración y no "la guía"?
Hola Kwiziq Team,
What’s the difference between “unos”/“unas”, “sobre”, and “tantos” for approximations for numbers. The words “unos”/“unas” and “sobre” can mean “about” before a number. Examples: Debería terminar mi trabajo en unos dos minutos. / Debería terminar en sobre dos minutos. I’m wondering if “unos”/“unas” are more common and less formal than sobre. Can the word “tantos” mean “around” used in a similar way to “unos”/“unas” and “sobre”? Example: Creo que este objeto tiene tres mil y tantos años de antigüedad.
Apparently this is standard Spanish, but in Caribean Spanish it isÑ
Yo soy casada con un chico millonario
Can someone please explain in a way that's dumbed down when you'd use eres vs es in a sentence and why?
Does anyone here run a conversation group to practice lives zoom etc.? I'm not looking to join tandem or meetup.

I have heard that -se is literary and rarely used today.
Lessons say lo que expands/gives more info on some idea expressed in the same sentence, and que= a noun. I get that que=that restaurant (noun) but with lo que: "Aquel restaurante, que/ el cual / lo que (I put-wrong) Al recomendó, tiene unos postres exquisitos. It seems that lo que expands on "that restaurant" by giving more info about it with: "it has some exquisite desserts." I did the same with "Tengo un sillón en casa que/el cual /lo que (I put-wrong) está sucio." With "is dirty" giving more info/ expanding on the chair. Is there a different way of explaining that might click with me?
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?
Apologies for asking so many questions lately, but I'm on holidays and have some time each day to study. :-)
Is it more common to say "los lunes" or "cada lunes"? Is there a preferred usage? (I don't hear "cada" being used very much here in Mexico but it could just be me.)
