Spanish language Q&A Forum

Like Ian, I am confused by some of the examples given here, in particular:

Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...

... which does involve movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !

And in the short quiz included in this site, I got this question wrong:

We are taking the children to where they can run around freely > Llevamos a los niños ________ puedan corretear libremente…. i.e., I [incorrectly !] chose "adónde" with an accent because it did seem to involve movement … (but no ! - it had to be "adonde").

According to the kwiz, there are 2 correct answers to the question:

haya ganado ( my answer) 

ganara ( imperfect subjunctive)

The page on the subjunctive does not address using these subjunctives interchangeably. I learned that when the subjunctive trigger is in the present tense ( no está seguro) and the event being considered is in the past ( won the competition), the present perfect subjunctive is called for. Do you have a lesson the the distinction?

Your "tip" box gives just the opposite of what it should be. You say it emphasizes the process and not the result. At the beginning of the lesson, you say it focuses on the final result of the process. Please clarify. Thanks!

mi hermana tiene 26 anos

es rubia

su cara es rodonda

tiene los ojos azules

y la nariz pequena

sus orejas tambien son pequenas 

y tiene una sonrisa muy bonita

ella no es muy alta

pero es delagda 

tiene una cintura estrecha 

y piernas muy largas

sus pies son pequenos

mi herman es my elegante

sobre su personalidad puedo decir que ella es muy alegre,

carinosa

divertida

y trabajdora

In Spanish, to express to the / in the + masculine singular noun (a + el), you use the contraction al.

Granada es una ciudad del sur de España.

Hi,

I have mentioned before the speed at which some of the example sentences are said and I wondered whether it is structured.

I presume that this lesson is solely for A1 level students.  If so, there is a sentencs that is so fast that I cannot hear all of the syllables.  

In "Andrea juega al ..." I find it difficult to hear all of the syllables near the start of the sentence.

Could it be that the sentences are slowed for the lower levels and speeded up as we become more adept at listening to Spanish?

Sorry to complain but I find the course suits my needs and this tweak would make it even better for me.  I don't know whether others would agree.

Many thanks.

I've been saying "bolsa" for a year and a half but I just saw a lesson example that used "bolso." A search showed many instances of both. Is it a regional difference, or is there a grammatical rule in play?

A su vecino le robaron la moto el otro día.

(Le) robaron la moto el otro día a su vecino.

They stole his neighbour's bike the other day.

My brain wants to translate this as: 

The other day they stole the bike for his neighbor.   (su=his, her, your, its, their)

My point being that I think of the indirect object pronoun (le) as to/for him/her your/it

The word "for" being the key point that confuses me in this case, I would guess.  

I would think the sentence would use "de" and be "Robaron el moto el otro día de su vecino." and not have the indirect object pronoun.

Help please!
