Spanish language Q&A Forum

Why is there an "s" when asking "Como te llamas?" but not for "Como se llama usted?" I understand that usted is formal, but why the change in llama(s)?

I thought Que tal?was an informal greeting.  Given as a correct form in your answers whe greeting an elderly man.

Hello,

There are two lessons on how to say some in Spanish. This one and the one in the Pronouns chapter. My question is: what is the difference?

The only real difference that I was able to find is that algún, algúna, algúnos, algúnas can be used with a noun in the same sentence or clause, but alguno, alguna, algunos and algunas can NOT be used with a noun in the same sentence or clause.

Is this it?

Is there another difference? 

Both seem to mean exactly the same thing. Also, there is only the one 'r' which is causing difference between the two? Can they be used interchangeably?

Following your hint, I tried to use "agusto" as an adjective. On being marked wrong, I looked to see what options my dictionary allowed, but I could not find any noun or adjective spelled that way. A gusto o Agusto - Diccionario de Dudas > https://www.diccionariodedudas.com/a-gusto-o-agusto throws some light on the puzzle. But if we use "a gusto", should we rather write: "Cómo a gusto nos hemos sentido" - would that also be OK?

Hello, May I ask when to use donde vives and de donde eres? how to use it and what's the difference? hehe. We have a Spanish subject and I was thought that my answer in donde vives is where my house is located. On the other hand, my municipality is the answer in the question de donde eres.

Hi

I don't understand the following verbs. Where to use era, where to use fui?? Both are used in past tense.

Eg

Yo fui primero de mi clase el año pasado.

Here fui represents ' I was'

Yo era el más pequeño de la familia.I was the smallest in the family.
Here also era represents 'I was'.  Why can't we use fui here? What is the difference? Please clear me anybody..
