Hi,

In the sentence above, the translation of "... comer sano." is given as '... eat healthily'.  Doesn't 'sano' mean 'healthy' and 'sanamente' mean healthily?

I'm sorry to be so pedantic, but I like to get things right at the start.

Best regards,

Colin

Why is it "fue (indefinido) muy emocionante" but "mis contrincantes eran (imperfecto) muy bueno"?

And why is it "fue muy emocionante" rather than "estaba / estuve muy emocionante"?  There is a lesson entitled "Using estar (not ser) when talking about emotions".

In the 1st person and 3rd person singular in the given examples I notice that the words from the verb 'to be able to', i.e 'could' and 'couldn't' are used. In sentences like these would we just have to be aware that these words are implied? 

Thank you

Hello, I use several sources to learn Spanish, and the other ones suggest using Estar for relationships with husband and wife, is there any reason why they would be incorrect?  Thanks

Just a suggestion:  I feel that the question set for this lesson could be more challenging.  Could add 4 or 5 questions with more room for error rather than translating from Spanish to English.  Choices in Spanish where we could easily go wrong.

Hi Inma,

Here's the test question:

¿Vienes a la Fiesta?  No puedo. _____el partido en la tele.(Are you coming to the party? I can't.  I am planning to watch the match on TV.)   

Answer:  Iba a ver.

Everytime this question comes up, I get it wrong because the English translation " I am planning to watch the team on T.V."  Hence I answer iré a ver. 

Would the english translation rather be " I was planning to watch the team on T.V.

Another question.  Is there a difference between  iré a ver VERSUS voy a ver? I am aware one is future tense and the other is present tense. 

Thank you.
