Re: Por la mañana desayuno a las nueve.
I have breakfast at nine in the morning.I noticed in the above that the structure of the sentence is quite different.
Could it also be: Desayuno a las nueve por la mañana.
If yes/or no why and what would the difference in meaning.
Are there any rules/lessons concerning this?
Thank you. Nicole

I'm new to this Spanish learning service and there's so about this that I really like - however - this is very very Europe focused. So much so that it blows my mind. I recognize that any Spanish learning is a good thing but it does add to my already considerable frustration with learning Spanish that I'm learning things that seem useless to me at this point. SO - is there a mod that can be activated to make this service more Latin America facing? AND shouldn't there be some up front notification that this is a program that is rooted in Spanish from Spain - which isn't what everyone wants.
iHola!
Could you please clarify the point:
No se marcha porque está cansado (No se marcha y la causa es que está cansado)
No se marcha porque esté cansado, sino porque se ha enfadado (Se marcha y la causa no es que está cansado)
I've come upon a sentence:
No vino porque no quisiera, sino porque no pudo (The translation says: He did not come not because he didn't want, but because he could not)
So I wonder if it really says that somebody didn't come. I guess one "not" is missing
Regards,

I would really like to know why Progress goes to such lengths to make ideas as confusing as possible. NO ONE in any language that I have ever studied goes to such lengths to "explain" a use that a student is ever likely to hear again.
Please, help me understand the difference:
Me alegro de que hayas viajado a diferentes países.
I am pleased that you have travelled to different countries.
To me the english deffinition appears to be equal to the present perfect "has viajado". Is it that there is doubt that you have actually travelled to different countries? or....is there something else that needs to be read into the use of subjunctive here.
