Hola Inma,
¿Espero que estés bien?
¡He disfrutado mucho este ejercicio con todas las expresiones idiomáticas! :)
Please could you let me know if I've understood these correctly in the context of the exercise:
-higos a brevas= once in a blue moon.
-a tope= fully, to the fullest.
-de punta en blanco= dressed up to the nines, dressed to kill.
-se mantiene en sus trece= digging his heels in, sticking to his guns (refusing to go).
Also, I'm unsure about the sentence which includes "ya he liado a mis amigos..." Does liar here mean 'to manage to' or 'to trick'?
Gracias

Why use the verb second person plural veis instead of ven when
there are 3 persons , Carol Jorn and tu as the subjects of the sentence.?
Este es el título del uno de mis lecciones bajo de sujeto, ¨Conjugate ver in El Pretérito Perfecto (present perfect)".
He lo tratado pero, me parece que es muy difícil a preguntar una pregunta en el forum en una moda que consigue para mi una respuesta.
Gracias, Jaime
The translation for
Hablasteis mucho en la conferencia, select ... yparaperoque teníais muy buenas ideas. (You spoke a lot at the conference because you had many good ideas.) should that be You spoke a lot at the conference because you had very good ideas. or muchas buenas ideas.
¿Cuántos euros te quedan en la cartera? -Me quedan ochenta.
How many euros do you have left in your purse? -I have eighty left.
The above is using preterite translated to present perfect. This is a subject I have some trouble understanding. Wondering if quedar is one of those examples of language that doesn't translate exactly and have to accept it as an expression used and not over think it?
I would like to ask how they are related and if one can be used instead of the other one
Hi, I'm new to the site and trying to understand how it works. Is there a specific section of the site for these exercises or do they only appear as suggestions in the notebook section? Thanks!
Hi, Shui, is there a difference between “este está compuesto por” and “este es compuesto por”? I would have expected the ser form in this context. From reverso.com I see both forms are quite common. Why would you choose the estar form in this case, and would the ser form be wrong? Thanks!
In another unrelated lesson, a quiz sentence states, 'No me queda mucho dinero pero tengo para dos cervezas más.' Where does this sentence fit in the various meanings of quedar, as explained in this lesson?
