Spanish language Q&A Forum

There has to be a way to make this stuff stick, and not make me fall asleep in the process. What can I do? I've my final on Monday so I need any help I can get.

Can you use estar para + noun? e.g. Miguel no está para bromas

Should it be "divulgar" and not "divulgué"?

Hi,

The above sentence seems to satisfy the requirements for sino: the first part is negative and the second part is a substitution.

Can you please explain why is requires pero and not sino.

Gracias y saludos.

Colin

Hola, “gastos” sounds like “rastos”. Saludos, Shirley. 

Hi and thanks for all your work. This is a good breakdown however I still remain confused when two nouns  don't require - de- between them

For example in a book I'm reading " el êpico fracas de Arturo Zamora" Theres a part that that says

Consejo ciudadano. ( citizen council)

This isn't the first time two nouns are next to each other without a " De" inbetween  but I don't see the difference between this and something like

La sopa de Pollo

I've been learning Spanish slowly for many years now, from taking classes, learning online, and speaking with native speakers.  My interactions in Spanish have been limited to Latin Americans, primarily due to the fact that I live somewhat close to the US/Mexico border.  In my previous learning, I've been made aware of the word "vosotros" but not much beyond that.  The conjugations I had previously been taught omitted the "vosotros" form.  I have also never heard the word "vosotros" used in any conversations.

I'm curious how common it is as the lessons I am going through have the conjugations for that form, as well as examples.  I'm not sure how much focus I should place on relearning conjugations for the vosotros form given my preference to learn Latin American Spanish.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Could someone please tell me why I was told it's wrong here in this quiz?

Kqiziq (B1): El año pasado visité todas las ciudades de Cataluña ___________ Tarragona (Last year I visited all the cities in Catalonia except for Tarragona). 

The options given: menos/sino/pero/aunque/incluso. 

I chose «sino», and I was marked wrong. The correct answer was «menos». I, of course, accept «menos», but why is «sino» wrong here??

I (and many others apparently) keep missing the non-intuitive rule below. Would you please consider putting this paragraph in a yellow box AND moving it up earlier in the lesson, rather than at the very bottom?

Important:  El Presente de Subjuntivo is never used after por si/por si acaso. This would be incorrect:

Voy a llevarme el paraguas por si llueva.

No debes decirle nada de esto a Roberto, por si acaso te pregunte.
