For example ¿Comó se llama usted?
wouldn't that translate to "What do you call yourself you?" How come you can't just say ¿Comó se llama?
Me gusta el vídeo. La narradora habló con mucha claridad. Gracias.
Hola,
Is there a reason why "mande" is preceded by "que." It appears to translate as "Anyone who wants to apply for this job, that sends his CV to the address ....... etc."
Is the "que" obligatory to trigger the subjunctive? In that case does it translate as "that he / she send?"
Thanks. John
Why does Mexico DF mean Mexico City ?
As far as I can see, the text doesn’t discuss ‘hasta’ which is listed as an option in the answers but marks as wrong. My dictionary seems to have some examples where ‘hasta’ is used for movement towards a place. What is the distinction?
El menor = el más pequeño
El peor = el más malo
How does it work for :-
el/la/los/las+ más/menos + pequeño/-a/-os/-as = menor/menores
el menos pequeno =? the least smallest - would you use the biggest - el más grande?
el/la/los/las + más/menos + malo/-a/-os/-as = peor/peores
el menos malo=? does this translate to the least bad - would you use el más bueno?
Thanks

Although we have had the sound with the video, it would be helpful to have somebody reading SLOWLY the text..In this way we can listen to the words and listen at the same time. This is how the French module is set up. It helps us learn. Graçias!
Would another way of explaining the difference be to say that in English you could get the meaning of the imperfect by saying "The teacher [was] opened[ing] the door" and the indefinido as "The teacher [had] opened the door"
