Future tense in SpanishI am not trying to be awkward but "Nosotras vamos a salir de copas el viernes próximo" is more or less the same as “Nosotras salimos de copas el viernes próximo” yet the second sentence was marked wrong.

"el agua de lluvia para usarla"

Hola,

If agua is a feminine noun that takes 'el" in the singular, would it be correct to say ...... para usarlo? I tried it and was marked wrong, so can you help me understand it.

Many thanks

John

“Maths” is not an English word

In English it’s only math, never the plural “maths.” This word doesn’t exist.

Terminar vs terminarse

Hi, why is terminarse (vs terminar) used here: “no quería que se terminara”, (I didn’t want it to end). Thanks a lot,

Shirley.

Ser v. estar and indefinido v imperfecto

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".

It is foggy. It is sunny

Why does the lesson say to use Hay with “It is foggy” but Está with “It is sunny”? I would think both would use Está

Also the lesson says to use Hay when it is followed by a noun, but Foggy is an adjective.

Thanks for your help!
