Spanish language Q&A Forum

I have been studying spanish from books. now I have a good reading knowledge. Lawless has given me the opportunity to creat a "listining" ability. Now I can train my ears as well as my eyes!

The final Spanish text is different, and somewhat better, than the individual chunks presented during the translation exercise. For instance:
(1) "madrugar" (in the final text) when the individual chunk was "levantarse"
(2) "veraneantes" (in the final text) when the individual chunk was "turistas". 

As I have been learning spanish, castellano, why is carro used?  Carro does not mean car here. 

 Therefore I thought the phrase was 'sin caro:,  ie without costing a lot. 

Esta explicación es incorrecta:

Verbs ending in-zar in Spanish, like organizar (to organise), analizar (to analyse), cazar (to hunt) are irregular in El Pretérito Indefinido because the spelling changes for pronunciation reasons in the first person singular (yo).

De hecho, ze y ce tienen la misma pronunciación. Más bien es una regla ortográfica que la Z generalmente no va con la E ni la I. 

Usé ELECTO en vez de ELEGIDO. ¿Por qué ELECTO es un error¿ 

Hello, is the Estar/Ser choice rule in the presente still apply in the past tense ?

Hola maestra, 

Me ayuda a aprender por que es "Me gusta jardín." en vez de "Me gusto jardín." por favor. 

Saludos

How would I know is I should use ,tengo un Hermano’ or ,tengo el Hermano?’
