Spanish language Q&A Forum

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. 

Although somewhat not directly related to the main topic, I have always known 'To drop' as 'Dejar Caer' and 'Caer/caerse' being synonyms for 'To fall.

Have I made a mistake here?

A question in a quiz asked No es bueno beber ___________ alcohol. The answer was tanto but I chose demasiado. don't they both essentially mean the same thing? Or is there a distinction in Spanish? Thanks

Are you going to the hospital is translated as Va usted al hospital. 

Is it acceptable to interchange the words va usted and usted va and they are both equally correct?

"Cuál es" works just fine in Mexico to ask "what is". Just because you haven't introduced it in the lesson yet shouldn't make it wrong. The problem with learning formal speech is that nobody talks like this in every day Life. People don't speak proper English in America, and they don't in Latin America either. The same with "me llamó" v "llamó" In Mexico they don't always say me llamó José, just llamó José. Both are right, they know what I'm saying. I want to learn both proper and common speech. Just learning the proper leads to a lot of confusion when you get to where you're going. Nobody talks completely proper, in fact English is so infused with Spanish, they have many made up spanglish words. When you go into a local neighborhood if you speak proper they don't know what you're saying. Really! No one says como se llama usted, me llamo José. They just stare at you like you're a snob. 

Lo siento por la novela

At the other hand there are no examples for "por.

Can "por" also be interpreted as "by" 

Hola Inma, 

My answer was "disfrutamos de esta cena maravillosa" but it was marked wrong.

Can you, please, explain when the verb disfrutar needs the "de"?

Un saludo
