I understand your explanation of the usage of this pair, but cannot relate them to the sentences that you set and so consequently keep getting marked wrong. It is very unlikely that I will ever do much writing in Spanish, so it is not very important to me. Unfortunately, the consequence of getting them wrong means that you keep on setting new ones on the same subject. A vicious circle. Can you please stop setting them for me so that I can move on and learn new things. The same applies to que/qué
There is a beautiful song, "Yolanda," by the Cuban singer/songwriter Pablo Milanés. The construction of one sentence using faltar confounds me: "Si me faltaras no voy a morirme." Why is faltar conjugated in second person singular? I'm having trouble fitting this usage in with any of the lesson examples. What am I missing? Thank you!

It would be great to have the english version as well so it is easier to understand unfamiliar words.
Hola los expertos y todos
Alguien sabe porque la frase es escrita 'Los personajes andan soñando con un viaje a una isla desierta' y no es escrita 'Los personajes andan soñando de un viaje a una isla desierta'?
No he visto esa construcción antes y pues estoy una poca confundida. Si es normal, podrían dar otros ejemplos que usan la misma 'con' construcción
Thank you Inma,
So does that mean that even if "siglo" is singular, you can also use the plural? i.e. "a comienzos de..."
does that mean then that you can use the singular "al comienzo de.." if "siglos" was plural?
Do you have any example sentences for these 2 uses?
Do you have any more info on this use? also is this a Peninsular Spain usage? or universally used?
Thank you. Your replies a very appreciated! Nicole
When "explain this" for less than correct answers refers to why the correct answer applies, I think it would be just as helpful if the program explained why the chosen wrong answer is not correct and under what circumstance it would apply. Too hard maybe for "fill the blank" but possible for multiple choice. I think I saw a table that compares these impersonal pronouns, how can I find it? (Algún, alguno, algunos, algunas)
Also, when I looked up the wrong answer I found what I think is less correct English.
Guillermo didn't know many pubs and he wanted to go to some (a random pub). = "Guillermo no conocía muchos bares y quería ir a algún. ALGUNO."
In this case, SOME, implies more than one.
Please explain me.
My task was to translate "I am going to the museam". I think it must be "Estoy yendo al museo". But the right answer turned out to be "Me voy al museo", which in my opinion means literally "I go to the museum".
Hola Inma,
Me muy alegro que tú eres mi profesora. Me estoy divirtiendo mucho todas las noches pero el nivel b2 no es muy fácil especialmente con respecto al modo subjuntivo. Mi progreso es mucho más lenta que antes.
Gracias, James
When I took the ¿Cómo Estás? A2 Kwiz related to this subject, this question below was marked wrong ("feliz" in red), saying my answer should have been "contenta". Since they both refer to being Happy, can you explain why Contenta is better in this sentence?
MARÍA: Venga chicas, ¡ánimo! Yo estoy muy feliz, ¡tengo un trabajo nuevo!
