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!

The answer to ‘they were about to finish their exam’ is given as ‘Han estado a punto de...’   

there’s no sense that this is the situation of ‘but something intervened’, and it doesn’t feel like a natural ‘perfecto’ tense to me, more just an action in the past. So I’m wondering why the perfecto was chosen here?

Hello,

I am under the impression that rico means rich.

So when we call food item rico, it appears to me to be rich in calories.

Or is it that we call it delicious because only rich people can have such a meal/ food item?

Hi, In the last sentence, could you replace tal vez etc with a lo mejor, and if so, would this then take the indicative or still the subjunctive?

Many thanks

Dee

"In Spanish, you use hubo whether it is followed by one item or many, unlike in English."

In Preterite, if third person singular is also used for plural, when is third person plural used?

¡Gracias!

Please forgive me. I am having difficulty writing the sentences.

It should be:

But I don't understand the use of 'que' in the following:

Tengo algo que contarte

When 'para' is used in the other two examples

Hope I did not confuse you too much.

 I am afraid I didn't meet , as yet,  this expression in English and thus, I don't know its meaning. So, can't say if it is "por" or "para" ..

(probably  the Spanish sentence has a well defined meaning but, with my poor Spanish, can't say what is this meaning..

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

Shouldn't this be "este proyecto?"
