If the construction starts with “si prefieres X....” isn’t “si preferías X...” also correct?

Madrugar means the same as levantarse temprano?

I don't understand why in one sentence the lady says that she gets up early every morning (me levanto temprano) but in the next sentence she says "no me gusta madrugar". Are you just showing us that there are two ways to say that she gets up early? Isn't this a bit much for beginner Spanish!?!?

Solo y solamente

Hola,

re: the following sentences:

Kwizbot no solo en España sino también en el extranjero.
You no solamente en España pero también en el extranjero.

I was wondering if you could explain why solamente is not an acceptable choice. Thanks for your help

Nicole

efectivo noun or adjective

At first glance, I thought efectivo is an adjective (meaning effective) but it actually means cash. Is there an obvious ending to nouns in spanish like there is in english?

The use of que as ‘to’

Hi there,

I’ve seen this use of que a few times but can’t find any explanations for the rules.

For example- Hay tantas cosas que aprender.

Hay muchísimas cosas que hacer.

I know que can be used as to/than in comparisons but I don’t understand the use of que here.

Continuar +infinitive

I want to make sure I understand the lesson correctly--so continuar is never used with an infinitive, as it is in English? It is only correct to use it with a gerund?
