There seems to be a lot of doubt in this sentence. What would trigger only the subjunctive?
Thank you. K
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!
Does "postre" literally mean "pudding desert" as us suggested by the test answer? I would have thought another word would have been needed, or perhaps "flan" would have worked instead of "postre"?
Hi,
Prior to this lesson I was reading about the subjuntive case of verbs. It seems that in the sentence above, the subjunctive case has been used. It does not appear to satisfy the WEIRDO requirements.
Can you please tell me why 'ella se visite' has been used and not 'ella se visita'?
Thanks.

Saludos, Inma and disculpame,
pero, I notice that there are a lot of "p" popping sounds in the audio of "Ropa de Invierno" and remembered hearing that the Spanish alphabet should be able to be pronounced in front of a candle without blowing it out. How are the lips and tongue placed to pronounce "p" , "t" and "s" to achieve that goal, please?

Hola todos,
in the examples like Nuria has lived in California for 3 months, shouldn't it be: Nuria has been living in California for 3 months to express that it is still ongoing?
In the test I was similarly irritated with the sentence I have lived on a boat for 4 weeks, which I would translate as He vivido en un barco por 4 semanas, but the only option making sense was the one having the form explained in this lesson.
Of course I may be wrong, English isn't my first language.
Hola,
Ahora mismo tengo muchas ganas de comerme un helado de chocolate.
Is there something to be inferred about the addition of me to the end of comer? As in some extra desire, or is this just another way of saying the same thing with no subtlety of difference?
Gracias,
“Como”can be written with and without accent, it depends on whether it has a interrogative or comparative function.
