Hi guys! Love the site! I've been taught that Meter is to "put into", and Poner "to place" and are supposedly not interchangeable, so why did you use poner to "put the flowers IN the water"? (Always good to know these things! :-) )
Is lleva interchangeable with está and what is the difference between the two? Thank you
Why does Mexico DF mean Mexico City ?
In the quiz, the sentence was : Vas a ir con ella al teatro. I know that it doesn't sound quite right to say "Vas a ir consigo al teatro", but why would that be incorrect?
I think I can understand why "... se puede ver a las ballenas jorobadas retozando, coqueteando ..." is correct - [meaning: "... one can see the humpback whales ...", or "... you can see ..."] - after reading your Kwiziq lessons " Using se debe/se puede to say You must/you can (impersonal sentences) " [number 6933] and " Expressing instructions and general statements in Spanish with the impersonal se = one " [number 5132].
However - under 'Your Practice', you recommend the lesson " Forming the Spanish passive with se (la pasiva refleja) " [number 6089] - which seems more consistent with this answer: "... se pueden ver las ballenas jorobadas"? (i.e. with 'pueden' in the plural, and without the "a" [before the 'las']). Would this^ be a correct way of saying "... the humpback whales can be seen ..."?
When asking for Angela’s phone number why is it “a Angela” and not “de Angela”
Another question from the quiz: "Las mamás quieren darles de mamar a sus bebés en el parque". In Spanish as spoken in Spain, wouldn't it be more common to use madres instead of mamás? Natives told me not to overuse mamá, papá, abuelito, mis papás etc. because they said it would sound childish.
Why does Inma say "Estoy casada..." I would think that being married would use "ser" since it is considered to be a permanent state of being rather than temporary.
Hello!
