Spanish language Q&A Forum

In "ellos consiguen borrar los malos pensamientos de su cabeza," why is it not "de sus cabezas" since we said "ellos"? 

Are there lessons having to do with the pauses and intonation in Spanish speech? I guess I'm using English patterns to place commas and periods when transcribing spoken Spanish and am frequently wrong.

Solo una preguntita,

¿Es correcto decir--- disfruta de tu vida?  Aquí en el texto dice - disfruta tu vida.  ¿Cual es más común?

🤭gracias

When do we know it its te or tu gusta is it just dependent on if it is a reflextive verb or not

Pregunta sobre el texo...  'En el canal en el que trabajo'...

  ¿significa lo mismo si decimos.. 

    1)  En el canal en que trabajo..?

 o 2) En el canal que trabajo... ?

En otras palabras, ¿Las opciones 1) y 2) son errores gramaticales?

Gracias de antemano 8-)

Hola, Inma,

In a previous reply to Remy, you gave the example:

Quizás Miguel no apruebe.

He may not pass (in the future, he hasn't done the exam yet)

Quizás Miguel no aprobara.

He may not have passed (he already did the exam and we doubt if he passed or not)

Is it possible to use the perfect here

Quizás Miguel no haya aprobado.

and if so, how would the meaning be different from the earlier two examples?

Thanks in advance for your help.

For the sentence "mientras vosotros ________ el postre, yo hice el café", why is "estuvisteis comiendo" incorrect?  The lesson seems to suggest that it should be correct.

For example, the lesson says this:  When the ongoing past action is inside a completed timeframe in the past. See how all examples above contain a time phrase: "toda la noche", "de 6 a 7 de la tarde", "el sábado pasado".  In the quiz question, the completed timeframe is "while you were having dessert".  Isn't that a similar time frame to "toda la noche"?

Also, the lesson says this:  We don't know when the "eating" started, but the end is expressed with "hasta que acabamos con  toda la comida". This may sound as if that is an interrupting action and may lead you to wrongly think you need to use El Imperfecto Progresivo [estaba+present participle].  Likewise, in the quiz question, we know that "having dessert" has a beginning and an end, although we don't know exactly when.

Gracias!

De quién was an option for this question: 

Mi perro, ________ me acuerdo a menudo, ha muerto recientemente.

However when I selected it I was marked wrong.

However according to this page

Using preposition a and de + el que, la que, los que, las que = to/of/from/about which/who (relative pronouns)

Should I have been marked right because quién doesn't necessarily need to pair with a lo/la?
