Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi, is despertar (Desperté) ever used for “I woke up”? I’ve seen it that way on some dictionary sites and wondered if it’s a mistake. Eg:

Many thanks, 

Shirley. 

Are “que” and “quien” mostly interchangeable as relative pronouns when talking about a person? Or is there a subtlety that I’m missing? I always feel a little unsure when I use “quien” because it seems like Spanish speakers use “que” more often.

I have difficulty to understand (Me cuesta entender) the difference between me voy and voy. Is it usually possible to yse them almost synonymously?

Would it be possible to use active participle? Are there cases in Spanish when both -ido/ado and -iendo/ando can be used and the meaning remains the same?

Hi,

Re: Your comment to John below:

"A separate lesson about "Esto" will be soon released, where it is tested separately because we understand it can be a bit confusing."

I did a quick search for this lesson, but without a title didn't find it, I was wondering if it was made and if so, how to find it.  Thank you. Nicole
