Spanish language Q&A Forum

I am currently placed in C1 even though my brainmap shows a number of B1 and B2 cells described only as "growing confidence". Will my work in C1 contain subject matter with testing that will move "growing" to "good confidence"?  If not, how do I earn "good confidence" standing in B after I was moved to C?

________ del colegio tendrás que hacer tus deberes.

When you get back from school you will have to do your homework.

Cuando volverás

*Cuando hayas vuelto*

Cuando volverías

Cuando volviste

I still don't understand why "volverás" is wrong. In another Kwiziq lesson under:  Learn about como, cuando, donde and quien in Spanish, one of the examples is as follows:

Hablo con ella cuando llega a casa.

I speak with her when she gets home. [specific situation]

Hablaré con ella cuando llegue a casa.

I will speak to her whenever she arrives home. [We don't know when she will arrive]

In the first case, the indicative is used even for a future event (ie. the event isn't until she comes home).  Why is future then note used for "cuando hayas vuelto"?

Thank you!

Looks like the plural "skirts" can take both a singular and plural for colors. Is that true of other clothing?

I think this lesson could be improved by including some information about using ser + para + the due date. I was thrown off by that in one of the quiz questions because even knowing to use "para" for a due date, using "ser para" to say something like "is due by" is not very clear or obvious.

Is word order important in questions?  Years ago, I learned that when asking a question, the order should be verb then subject, but I've seen an example where the word order is reversed: "¿Miguel estará en la oficina?"  I would have asked, "¿Estará Miguel en la oficina?"  It seems important because often folks (even some native speakers) don't use an inflection in their voice when asking a question. By using verb then subject, it becomes clearer that it is a question.

In the tables, you use tuvierais and tuvieseis. In the examples you use tuviérais and tuviéseis. Is this a typo or is there another reason for changing the inflection?

One example drives me crazy (again). When to use pero or sino que. 

Example: Luis y yo no hemos terminado, ....... decidimos darnos un tiempo para pensar en lugar de tener que romper.

My answer = pero, because it is correct and I asked as well native speaker and they would use pero.

Strict rules instead of colloquialism @kwiziq? 

In 99% of all cases pero is correct but not in Kwiziq. 

Would it be possible to rate the answer as correct but add a hint stating that the strict rules would rate differently?

Thanks,

I wrote many of the answers correctly. Why is my score so low?
