Spanish language Q&A Forum

I recall that an earlier lesson mentioned the phrase "entre si" meaning "among themselves". The pronoun "si" seems to be the object version of the reflexive pronoun "se". When following the preposition "con", it also contracts to "consigo" just like "conmigo" and "contigo". The word "consigo" is also the same form as the first person present tense indicative mode of "conseguir". Maybe these discussions can be added to this lesson? Also, let me know if the pronoun "si" carries an accent or not. I think there is but I am not sure. Thank you. 

 Imna, I'm curious to know, how frequently this structure is used in Spanish? Moreover, is it more common in Spain than say in Central and/or South America?

P.S. When I first read this lesson my thoughts were similar to Alan's. I too recognized that  there are similar 'past for present' verb structures in English.

Hola,

I have not seen this type of construction before which i think translates as "Settling here ........"  Is it just something common in Spanish that we learn as we go along or is there a lesson about it?

Another point .... would it be possible to get translations of the weekly lessons underneath the final transcript when the exercise is finished, so that we can check our understanding?

Is there any difference in meaning between “puede que”  and “tal vez” or “quizás” or are they essentially the same?

Hola,

El título de este ejercicio indica que el nombre del rey mago es "Melchior" pero el texto usa una ortografía diferente de "Melchor." 

¿Hay una diferencia?

Saludos
