Trajito / trajecito

If you don't know which lesson rule is being applied both these answers "Ese trajito le queda muy bien." "Ese trajecito le queda muy bien." are correct for this question "That little suit fits him really well"? As mentioned below it would depend on location. Or is there another reason?(HINT: traje = suit )

When to use pues

When should we use pues versus porque? In the text it was translated as "because" = "pues". Thank you!

Por la mañana desayuno cereales.

Hi,

I note from my dictionary that there is also the verb desayunarse. In the above sentence desayunar has been used, when would desayunarse be better?

Many thanks.

Using El Imperfecto Subjuntivo in hypothetical clauses introduced by si followed by El Condicional Simple

The question was : How would you say "If you did some exercise, you would lose weight faster." ? I understand the principle of using the subjunctive followed by the conditional simple. I don't understand why there are 2 answers.

Si hicieras más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Si hicieses más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Becky

Although vs. Even if

It seems like many of these questions can be interpreted either way. In English, the two are often interchangeable in a given sentence depending what the speaker wishes to say. Although we have many things in common... OR Even if we have many things in common...

How do we know which translation to provide--subjunctive or indicative?

Omission of plural definite articleI notice that the translation of "I never go to rock concerts" omits the plural definite article. This seems unusual for Spanish. Is there a specific reason?

Formal- cómo está

On the question:

Mamá, ________

Why wouldn't "cómo está" be a correct answer? Wouldn't it be formal when speaking to a parent?

Thank you!
