Personal A can't find the lesson Hi,
I am having difficulty toggling between Kwiziq, Lawless Spanish and this site (Progress...)
When I am in the Kwiziq site, for some reason, I can't log in. I have also tried what had been suggested to me earlier, to just replace the address with the Lawless one, and was told I'd be in the same place, but when I do that, it brings me to the main Progress with Lawless "welcome" page, with the "Your Spanish Dashboard". and I've lost the page..
When I find something on the Lawless site and I sign in, I lose the page I was on and cannot find that page in the Progress with Lawless site.
For example, in Lawless, I found an article on the Personal A, with links at the bottom. This is the page I was on:
https://www.lawlessspanish.com/grammar/prepositions/personal-a/
Article name:
Personal A
{Excerpt : Although normally prepositions are not used in front of direct objects, in Spanish there is a special preposition called the personal a which precedes direct objects that refer to people, personified nouns, and animals.]
I was trying to find this article thru a search on this page I'm writing in, and didn't find this particular article, but a list (which I included at the bottom of this message.)
Sorry for this being so long and probably confusing, but here are my questions:
1) how can I toggle from one site to the other/ and /or keep the page I'm on once logged in?
2) how can log into Kwiziq - it doesn't recognize me even though I got there via the activity listed here:
and I enter my log in info but it doesn't recognize it.
2-1) for example I don't understand why I am not logged in anymore when I click on my name in the
Q&A section in Lawless to get a list of my questions and I'm suddenly in Kwiziq.
3) How do I find this article below, that is at https://www.lawlessspanish.com/grammar/prepositions/personal-a/
but not in here, not that I could find easily anyway.
Thanks for your attention.
Nicole

I have a question about reflexive verbs. In general I understand the concept, and I in general I know when to recognize the verbs. What I have trouble with is knowing when to use them in a sentence. For example take these two sentence:
I walk in the morning. Camino por la mañana.
I bathe in the morning. Me baño por la mañana.
Now I use the Google translate app and one of these sentences uses a reflexive verb and its pronoun and one does not. I don't understand the difference. I understand "I bathe myself in the morning" is how the translation would be from Spanish to English. But why does "I walk in the morning" not translate as "I walk myself in the morning". After all I'm not walking the dog or walking somebody else, I'm walking myself. Or is this just a matter of the Google translate app being incorrect??
Hello,
I'm just wondering about the use of the reflexive comprarse. It is used in this example:
En esta tienda pueden comprarse unas joyas muy bonitas.You can buy very nice jewels in this shop
Why is the reflexive used here, and in general when do we use comprarse instead of comprar?
Thanks!Marcos
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.
I didn't know you could touch on the words for a translation!
I've only just found out
I think I saw an earlier lesson when you use bastante and other words only in a singular form. But I can't find the other lesson. Hopefully you can direct me to the lesson :)
Might be a stupid question, but i dont really understand the difference between when to use “tratar” and “tratar de”..? Thank you!
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:
adonde = a dondeadónde = a dóndeFor example:
Iremos adonde/a donde tú quieras.¿Adónde/a dónde vas?Find your Spanish level for FREE
