Is lleva interchangeable with está and what is the difference between the two? Thank you
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.
How does one know if
"Hay un incidente ahí; tendrán que llamar a la policía."
should be translated as
1) There is an accident there; they MIGHT have to call the police (probability)
vs
2) There is an accident there, they WILL have to call the police (statement of fact)
Thanks
Hello,
I would like to know that in sentences like' Nosotros estamos en Uruguay esta semana' is it essential to write the Nosotros ? Wouldn't starting with estamos itself indicate 'We are'?.Similarly for the other sentence Vosotros estaís aburridos.....the conjugated verb form itself indicates that it is referring to vosotros. Please clarify.
Thanks

This asked if this was correct. I put no as mar is a masculine noun, but this was marked as incorrect. The dictionary states it is a masculine noun. On the explanation this it states that it can be feminine in a poetic sense. This phrase is not in my opinion poetic but an observation.
Can you please explain this. Thanks
I think "the U.S." should be translated as "los EE. UU.", not "EE. UU". I think in Britain, people often call the United States "United States", but in Spanish it would be better to say "los Estados Unidos".
Hello!
In the example, ¿"Una iglesia"? ¿Qué es eso?, why is it eso and not esa?
- Ella cree que habrá consecuencias.
- Creía que era una bicicleta por participante.
Because the subject in the two examples above believed/thought that …(creer que) …, I would have used the subjunctive in the second clauses. I equated this to querer que and esperar que both being followed by the subjunctive. What am I missing?
Hola,
I'm not sure why the above phrase translates as "a lot of leisure activities available in Madrid." The phrase appears to be singular (hay una) so I would have expected it to translate as something like "There is a great / important leisure activity on offer / available." Is "oferta" invariable for singular and plural?
Would appreciate your help.
Thanks. John
