"Adónde" or "Adonde", when movement is involvedLike Ian, I am confused by some of the examples given here, in particular:
Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...
... which does involve movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !
And in the short quiz included in this site, I got this question wrong:
We are taking the children to where they can run around freely > Llevamos a los niños ________ puedan corretear libremente…. i.e., I [incorrectly !] chose "adónde" with an accent because it did seem to involve movement … (but no ! - it had to be "adonde").
Is it
Even with the adjusted text I don't get the joke at all either.
Hola,
Can you explain why the translations are "Eran tan refrescas" and "...estaba deliciosa."
They are both describing the food so I would have thought that they would both been the same - i.e. using ser.
Hope you can clarify.
Regards

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?
Solo una preguntita,
¿Es correcto decir--- disfruta de tu vida? Aquí en el texto dice - disfruta tu vida. ¿Cual es más común?
🤭gracias
three times the same example

Se comió ________ bocadillo. He ate half the sandwich.
medio was the correct answer. I put "el mitad de" which was marked wrong.
EDIT: Maybe because I used "de" instead of "del"? Now it is being marked correct with that answer. If this is the case, shouldn't it show me that "el mitad del" is the correct answer? This is confusing.
Hola,
If agua is a feminine noun that takes 'el" in the singular, would it be correct to say ...... para usarlo? I tried it and was marked wrong, so can you help me understand it.
Many thanks
John
I feel like I've heard some people use "bastante" to mean "a lot." Like, "En mi ciudad, hay bastantes lugares para salir." Is that accurate?
