"Que" en lugar de "porque"Do Spaniards use this because it's quicker and 'neater' to say? So that they can get their meaning across even more rapidly!!

Hola,

The question was ¿Vas _casa de Inéz? Both "para" and "a" were given as correct answers but in the lesson above, the use of "a" is given as also acceptable when associated with the verb "Llevar." I would have used "a" instinctively when talking about a destination but was put off using this because of the instruction.

I think there is something about "destination" that I am not understanding. Can you help?

Saludos

John

using pronouns with llamarseIn the grammar section of llamas it says about pronouns: it is actually more common to drop them, so "Ella se llama Clara" = "Se llama Clara".

I forgot to drop it the first time, so I got a "nearly correct". The second time I dropped it, and it was still "nearly correct". - This I don't understand...

Is this common usage?

I shared this example with my Spanish teacher, as I have never heard the conditional used in this way. She said that this form is not commonly used in Mexico. Is it more specific to Spain and/or other countries?

For the following question, is "echar" the best choice? Looking it up in a couple dictionaries, it would seem that extrañar would be a better choice?Usted ________ echar de menos el perfume de su mujer.You used to miss your wife's perfume.I wasn't able to find "miss" as a definition for "echar". Is that a common usage, or could people misinterpret that sentence?
