Claudia siempre le añade mucha sal a la comida. Should this translate to Claudia always adds a lot of salt to HER food and not Claudia always adds a lot of salt to food.
Preguntando si algo sea un hecho o no, ¿qué se debería decir? Por ejemplo: ¿Es verdad que tengamos un examen hoy? o ¿Es verdad que tenemos un examen hoy? ¿Hay casos en que depende de lo que ya cree el hablante?
On the question that starts "Te quejas mucho,…" the hint says it's a list of complaints, but the things that are listed don't seem like complaints to me. I mean, who complains that someone doesn't snore? Maybe it's good to make the sentences non-sensical to emphasize the grammatical structure. Duolingo used to do that all the time, with horses cleaning the kitchen and cats moving the furniture…
My understanding of reflexive verbs is that the subject performs the action on itself, so the subject is also the direct object. With “perderse algo”, are there 2 direct objects as in “Nos lo perdimos.” with the objects “us” and “it”?
Why is the future/perfect future sometimes used for the same reason one could use conditional/perfect conditional?
Hola,
Why doesn't the topic include the relative pronoun "lo que"?
Thank you so much for including this incredibly beautiful poem! It highlights the beauty of the Spanish language so perfectly.
I have a vague recollection of my papi reciting this to me as a young girl. Brought a happy tear to my eye. 🙂
El pobre chico se tuvo que acostar ________. The poor guy had to lie down because he had been working for so many hours.

I have to say the use of pronouns (and to a lesser degree prepositions) is one of the most challenging parts of learning Spanish I have experienced thus far. I am REALLY struggling on this!! If you look at my small (two question) quizzes I do fine, but when I take a ten point quiz I do very poorly on this topic. I AM trying! I need to go very slowly, using tools like "to whom, for whom" is the action taken to find the indirect pronoun answer but NOTHING is coming naturally at this point. Please don't take this as whining before giving up.... I am not giving up! Anything worth having requires work so I am forging on. I just wonder... am I being unusually dumb on this?! Do any (most?) other students at my level struggle this hard on the pronoun (preposition) usage topic? As always I need to say how much I love Kwiziq and am so grateful to have found it! I'll get this sooner or later (but any other tricks to help me would sure be welcome!!).
