"Adónde" or "Adonde", when movement is involvedLike Ian, I am confused by some of the examples given here, in particular:
Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...
... which does involve movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !
And in the short quiz included in this site, I got this question wrong:
We are taking the children to where they can run around freely > Llevamos a los niños ________ puedan corretear libremente…. i.e., I [incorrectly !] chose "adónde" with an accent because it did seem to involve movement … (but no ! - it had to be "adonde").
 
I got this sentence in a quiz
No puedo ver _____ en la muchedumbre.
The answer was "a Paula y Cristina".
I notice that sometimes you put an a before every name, like "a Paula y a Cristina". Is this optional, or are there certain circumstances when the a is required before each person?
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
When is "de la mañana" used?
There are too many people in my office.
Why is demasiada the correct answer and not demasiadas? Since we're using many in the English sentence.
Thank you.

Question 4 with 1 blank
La semana que viene viajaré a Europa. Europa es mi continente favorito. (cual)Mañana jugaré al baloncesto. No he jugado jamás antes al baloncesto. (cual)According to the kwiz, there are 2 correct answers to the question:
haya ganado ( my answer)
ganara ( imperfect subjunctive)
The page on the subjunctive does not address using these subjunctives interchangeably. I learned that when the subjunctive trigger is in the present tense ( no está seguro) and the event being considered is in the past ( won the competition), the present perfect subjunctive is called for. Do you have a lesson the the distinction?
