Here the newspaper is sold cheaply.
I realize "barato" can work as an adjective or an adverb, but given its placement within the sentence used in the example, this reads to me like "The cheap newspaper is sold here," as if the expensive newspaper is sold across the street—they probably charge you just to look at the headlines!
Would it be clearer to say, "Aquí se vende barato el periódico"? Or am I mistaken in that this could only be translated as "cheaply" no matter where "barato" appears?
In Thea question in the quiz, they give you the hint to conjugate hacer in el conditional simple which I did but my answer was marked as wrong. Can you explain why please? Thank you
Why were there no quotation marks placed around the word "manolos" in the Kwiziq translation of the penultimate sentence?
Thank you.

In your example above:
should this: I don't find my keys!
be "I can't find my keys"?? (I don't find my keys sounds awkward)

Hi,
The link to the above takes you to a page with the sub-heading 'Spanish Present Perfect'.
I thought 'preterite' was always related to the past as it says in the text on that page. So, why is it present perfect in Spanish?
Thanks.

Hi I have a question. For the phrase "and with sea views," why is it "y con vistas al mar", rather than "y con vistas del mar"?
I'm confused about Kwiziq vocabulary choices. The words in quotes are those presented as correct whereas as those in bold were the words I chose in my translation.
Why "alguna" instead of cualquier? [ ... do you have any color and style preferences...]
why "rosa" instead of rosado? [... with my pink dress...]
Why "voy a" una boda instead of voy a ir una boda? [I'm going to a wedding...]
Thank you.
