Hola,
The translation is given as "You could have told me before."
My step by step translation is "You could have to me it said to me earlier / before."
Can you explain why to "to me" is repeated?
Thanks. John
Would the phrase "You used to go camping when you were young" be "tu solias a ir al campo cuando era pequena" instead of "tu ibas ir...."? Because the quiz said to use ibas.
Quiz question: Ojalá ________ menos egoísmo en el mundo. ?
I wish there were less selfishness in the world.
(HINT: Use "haber" in El Imperfecto de Subjuntivo)
In the above I answered “qué hubiera” and got it wrong, where the correct answer was “hubiera.”
However, in a separate section, there was an explanation that “qué can be added after ojalá without changing the meaning.”
Can you clarify whether my “qué hubiera” answer should have been correct?
Hello, I haven't seen the phrase "Hoy en día" before, is this common usage and when is it most useful to use rather than just Hoy.
Thanks
In what area of the Spanish speaking world is "genial" pronounces "hen yen"?
Hola,
-No me convence su argumento.
-I am not convinced by his story.
Why do we say "me convence" instead of "me convenzo" ? Do convencer verb like gustar ?
A shorter sentence "mucha gente come uvas juntas" uses juntas!
Both la gente y las personas are feminine nouns. Why juntos (masculine)?
Hola,
I have not seen this type of construction before which i think translates as "Settling here ........" Is it just something common in Spanish that we learn as we go along or is there a lesson about it?
Another point .... would it be possible to get translations of the weekly lessons underneath the final transcript when the exercise is finished, so that we can check our understanding?

"we were studing at the university of Salamanca during the 90'
While translating the verb study in spanish , I think we will use preterite indefinido (pretertio perfecto simple) because of time frame (during the 90) instead of preterite imperfecto.
Please guide me on this.
