Spanish language Q&A Forum

I used 'a donde' as on of three possible answers, but was marked wrong:

IMPORTANT 

For the long forms adónde and adonde, it is also perfectly acceptable to write them as two separate words:

For example:

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

We wouldn't say "We would like to make a toast".  Best English would be direct translation:  "We would like to propose a toast"

We might say:  "Let's make a toast" but "we would like to make a toast" is not natural English.

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

My understanding was that the accent falls on the penultimate syllable unless another syllable is accented. Given that where does the accent fall on “peinar”?  Is it not split into pe in ar?  

I am very confused. In the above lesson it describes when to use poder in the preterite indefinido.

in this lesson there seems to be No specific moment in the past or where speaker is outside the time frame 

This lesson "Conjugate poder in the preterite tense in Spanish (El Pretérito Indefinido)" it describes when to use the preterite indfinido when referring to a specific moment in past  and time it happened is relevent OR referes to pastwhere speakersees themselves outside the time frame

In the lesson you give examples for estar deseando in imperfect, but not for tener ganas de. I feel pretty sure I could use tener ganas de in imperfect as well, but neither seems to fit well with preterite. 

Could you say more about how these two are used with other moods and tenses and what limitations, if any, exist.

EDIT: Sorry, I see you answered part of this in an earlier reply. However, could you indicate any other limitations that might apply. I wonder about subjunctive too.
