Spanish language Q&A Forum

In the first two egs given "Tengo escritas veinte paginas de mi futura novela" y "Tienes pintadas dos habitaciones. Falta una mas para terminar", why is tener + participio used instead of Llevar + participio? Since the repetition of the action is going to continue.

Thanks.

It's not clear which preposition to use with quien for Whose, For Whom / To Whom and With Whom?

Is the below correct?

Whose = de quien

For Whom / To Whom = para quien

With Whom = con quien

Why is this the correct answer: Usted esta en la lista and not Usted estas en la lista?

I once heard that in saying "Estoy casada," there is a subtle suggestion that one is not quite as bound by the marriage than if one had said "Soy casada." Any truth to that?

I feel like in modern English, we don't say 'one' does something, but rather, it's expressed using 'you' in the sentence without being a personal statement or piece of advice. 

Would this be a reasonable translation/interpretation?

Se duerme mejor con la conciencia tranquila.

- One sleeps better with a clear conscience.

- You sleep better with a clear conscience. 

The second sentence is not necesarily a personal statement. It can also be said impersonally like a general statement. 

I find that when I'm speaking Spanish, I over use 'you' too much in phrases like this because the sentence structure of 'one should...' doesn't occur to me. However, I can recognize the statement is impersonal while I'm saying it. 

It would be helpful to know if this is the structure I should be using in these situations. 

PS. I'm not referring to passing the quizzes but more for the knowledge of how to use this better in real communication. 

Gracias!
