No quiero que ________ el dinero que te he dado.I don't want you accidently losing the money I gave you.

The answer se te pierda.

Just a thought! Perhaps point out the use of the subjunctive in this example.

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

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

Hola,

This lesson seems very similar to continuar/seguir+[gerund] to me. Any particular differences in nuance between the two that we should look out for?

Gracias

Is it correct to answer questions with numbers in invariable form, that is, the same form that we use when we count?

Ex: ¿Cuántas personas hay en el aula? --> Hay doscientos uno.

Ex: ¿Cuánta cuestan estas? --> Quinientos veintiuno.

Thanks.

Usted ________ el dinero en euros. You would be paid in euros.HINT: Conjugate "cobrar" in El Condicional Simple

This appears to be a passive construction in English. It makes me want to translate tú serías cobrado el dinero en euros.

As written, doesn't the sentence in English mean "You would pay in Euros?"

Hello,

Re: Por la mañana desayuno a las nueve.

I noticed in the above that the structure of the sentence is quite different. 

Could it also be: Desayuno a las nueve por la mañana.

If yes/or no why and what would the difference in meaning.

Are there any rules/lessons concerning this?

Thank you. Nicole 

In one of the above examples, "la pelicula" becomes "el peliculón", and in another "tasa" becomes "tazón".  Is there a rule for when to do this gender change?

Thanks,

Marcos
