Hola,
In the sentence "The hotel has a very big swimming pool surrounded by grass", shouldn't 'cuenta con' be an acceptable alternative to 'tiene'?
Gracias,

Hello is this verb correct- "arrascar"? I didn't find it in the spanishdict.com and other dictionaries I use. There is only "rascar".
Hola
With the expression pasarselo bien, I have seen examples elsewhere written "la estoy pasando bien" (ie no reflexive pronoun and a feminine direct object pronoun) Please could you explain what the "la" refers to and if both expressions are interchangeable?
Gracias

Thank you Shui and Inma: [I would really love to visit Argentina and Chile one day, the scenery in the southern Andes sounds absolutely amazing, by all accounts ! - also, lamb is one of my favourite dishes.] It might be worth mentioning that "diferente de ..." is a permitted alternative construction, because it relates better to the English "different from ..." > My grammar book (by Butt and Benjamin") implies that "diferente de ..." is actually the more favoured version in academic and educated circles in peninsular Spain.

This is another one incorrectly graded. My answer was criáis, which is the correct Vosotros translation, yet is marked wrong.
This is marked wrong with continúa as the answer (my answer), yet continúa is the correct answer for the present tense and according to your own "help" text. There seems to be a lot of sloppy "teaching" in Progress Spanish lately.
Is "El Día de Año Nuevo" wrong for New Year's Day?

En la tienda no ________ ni pan ni dulces. In the shop, they didn't have bread or cakes.(HINT: Conjugate "tener" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.)
