Translating "wide" > "ancho" or "amplio"
Thank you, Silvia, for the Weekend Workout exercise of 25th September entitled "Inclusive Language Debate" - It also taught me that there is a subtle difference between "amplio" and "ancho" >
In the following sentence, I [incorrectly !] used "ancha":
"... este debate refleja una tensión más amplia entre identidad y gramática"
/ "...this debate reflects a wider tension between identity and grammar".
I [think I] now see that "ancho/a" is applicable only when some sort of physical measurement may be taken?

[Our local Adult-education Centre has three female teachers and one male teacher (younger than the others). So the [Lady] Principal always 'reinterprets' the rule about pronoun-usage when she composes correspondence and notices which come from the School - and deliberately refers to her team using "nosotras !"]

Good evening
Please could you give me examples of the use of the personal "a" when referring to animals.

Este ejercicio es el primer interactive ejercicio que he probado. Lo disfruté, y sin duda haré más. Gracias. J
It seems this post contains questions on two different topics. I am asking how to know to use the vosotros form of ver rather than the ustedes form when asking about checking on piglets, which sounds completely lovely to me :-)
Muchas gracias por esta historia de la letra ñ. Aprendí mucho y especialmente interesante era la información de la ñ en otros idiomas ---p.e., el gallego, el quechua, el filipino o el guaraní.

In the example: Estoy por prestarle yo el dinero a Carmen...
I am confused by the inclusion of the first person pronoun "yo". Please explain why "yo" is needed/included in the sentence.

why the Castillan pronunciation of the letter S, if a Latin American Spanich language course?
Creo que esto debría leer "I don't believe THERE WILL ever be such a wonderful wedding as yours."
"Been" in English is a past tense verb. This is the subjunctive of the present tense.
Why does en modo alguno translate to in no way?
