Spanish language Q&A Forum

In a question requiring the answer "Sevilla es una de las ciudades más bonitas de España" I put en instead of de and was marked incorrect. However, as the lesson states, this isn't incorrect but simply 'less common'. In fact, isn't it so that a closer translation of the 'de' here might be '...one of the most beautiful Spanish cities' rather than '...cities in Spain'?

Hola,

Where there is a double vowel, such as leer, is the accent always placed on the second of the two vowels, ie leérmelo, etc?

Gracias,

In a textbook a sentence was given as:

“ Es muy gordo; come más que dos hombres ordinaries.”

My question is why is it not más de because of the “dos” being a quantitative factor.  Is it a comparison?

How do I know when a noun is masculine or feminine?

Do I go off the last letter of the noun? Like planta and idea end in 'a' so I use una, but if it ends in an 'o' or any other letter besides 'a' then I say un.

Shouldn't an valid answer option include "Laura es "?

There is nothing in the hint to suggest that that is only a hint.

•Why do we have to use 'pero' in the first sentence?

•In the hint provided, it was given that tardar tiempo = take long, then in the answer key, why is 'mucho' used?

Would 2001 years be los dos miles y uno año or would mil still be singular.

The last sentence of Cachapas is: es de un sabroso que ni te imaginas. Why not: es de un sabor que ni te imaginas.?? 

Hi,

My question: Why the "ser" verb is used in this sentence instead of "estar" Nuestras vidas pueden ser muy ocupadas con la pareja?

As I learned, we have to use estar in the sentences like these: Estoy ocupado, estás muy feliz, etc. I am confused a bit.
