"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").
Why is le used? Isn't the same pronoun used as in conocer (lo)?
No quiero que ________ el dinero que te he dado.I don't want you accidently losing the money I gave you.
The answer se te pierda.
Just a thought! Perhaps point out the use of the subjunctive in this example.
Hi, why is terminarse (vs terminar) used here: “no quería que se terminara”, (I didn’t want it to end). Thanks a lot,
Shirley.
The lesson says:
We always use the singular form of verb gustar when followed by actions!
For example: Me gustan bailar y cantar.

I think I understand the answer, but the example seems confusing since in this case gustar is being used with multiple verbs
In terms of usage, can había considered to be the the past tense of hay? Había =There was' vs. Hay = 'there is'?
