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

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.

Colin

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

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?"

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.
