Spanish language Q&A Forum

In the recording the speaker says the word "fuera." But that answer was counted wrong and the correct answer was given as "fuese."

Hi,

In the sentence, "Los pájaros son sus animales favoritos.", how can you tell who 'sus' is without a prompt?

Thanks.

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'?

In English, we also say that a book is "heavy reading" when the subject matter is academic or complicated and detailed.  A subtle difference between heavy reading and difficult to read.  A book might be difficult to read if it is badly written.  Not quite the same as "heavy reading"

Does the same subtle difference exist in Spanish?
