Why was "recoger" used in the sentence "you must tidy up your room" instead of the verb "arreglar"?
Pati E.
How does one know if
"Hay un incidente ahí; tendrán que llamar a la policía."
should be translated as
1) There is an accident there; they MIGHT have to call the police (probability)
vs
2) There is an accident there, they WILL have to call the police (statement of fact)
Thanks
I struggle with translating "the weather is very good." My inclination is to write "el tiempo está muy bueno," because it is acceptable to use está for some weather related expressions per your very helpful guidelines.
Is there any 100% reliable way that you can suggest for when to use hace vs está. Is it a matter of learning off these phrases / expressions and that they are invariable? Is anything to do with "temperature, cold, hot and weather" always expressed using hace?
Finally if I wanted to say "In Rome, there is good weather today." Could I say "En Roma hay buen tiempo hoy?" or is this invariably expressed using hace?" Thanks John

¿Quieres algo para comer?
Tengo algo que contarte
Can you help?¿Necesitaba algo para escribir?
But I don't understand the use of 'que' in the following:
