In the example La pájaro vuela sobre tu cabeza, why is it "tu" cabeza. I thought when talking about body parts and clothing we should use the definite articles rather than the possessive adjectives.
"En su tiempo libre a Rafa le gusta jugar al golf, pescar, leer libros, ir al cine, ver series, pasar tiempo con su familia y cocinar platos de pasta."
Here all the things Rafa do in the free time please him and make him like them, why the verb "gustar" is not in plurar, since there are more than one inf. verb, thought gustan makes more sense. Could you plesae help me out.
This lesson says:
"In Spanish, to express that someone "would have [done something]" in the past, we use the auxiliary verb haber.
Haber [ìn the conditional simple] + participle of main verb"
However wouldn't you use the perfect conditional to say "would have"?
Could you explain how 'hago' comes to mean 'I am walking.' please. How would one know? Is this an idiomatic usage?

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)Hello:
in the exercise at: https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/my-languages/spanish/exercises/judge/314/481235?response=57969&page=8
sentence: My mother uses her mobile phone to make calls and send texts
Spanish: Mi madre usa el teléfono móvil para hacer llamadas o mandar mensajes.
The exercise says: "and", but the translation is: "o"
i.e.: and send texts.
Kwizbot: o enviar mensajes.
You: y enviar texto
Why is the translation "o" 9meaning "or" 0 instead of "y" meaning and as per the text?
Is there an error here, if so what lesson would answer this?
Thank you, Nicole
I could not find any explanation regarding the modes. thank you
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
Hola a todos
I just found this sentence on Kwiziq:
'He estado de viaje y me ha encantado todo'
So, with de I guess roughly this means 'I have been doing travelling'
But please can someone explain...
1) The differences between using 'he estado de viajar' vs 'he estado viajando'?
2) And can we use 'he estado de +infinitive' with all verbs?
Saludos
