Spanish language Q&A Forum

I just reviewed the A1 lesson on veces/vez in which "sometimes" equals "algunas veces," but in examples above, "sometimes" equals "a veces." Is there a difference? Is "a veces" simply a more convenient way of saying "algunas veces?" Thank you.

In the first two paragraphs it says "de" is followed by a noun, but the examples all appear to place "de" before an adjective with the noun preceding "de." Can you explain this conundrum? Thank you.

I know that the rule is to use sino que when there is a different conjugated verb in the second clause after sino.  If it is the same verb, we don't need to use it at all: Juan no bebía vino sino ron.   But what if we decide to include the verb?  Then do we use sino que (even though it is not a different verb?). Juan no bebía vino sino que ron.

I would appreciate your help on this one.

It is ok to respond back with "Y tu tambien" when someone says to me in Spanish "Que tengas un buen fin de semana."

Was the Collection of verses published when the poet was 19 or just that one poem? Slightly ambiguous English phrasing  . . .

Gracias Shui por compartir un poema tan hermoso y romántico. ¡Qué triste también! Nada es más emotivo que el amor perdido entre una pareja. ¡Es increíble que Pablo solo tenía 19 años cuando escribió este poema!

Somos muy afortunados de tener tantos maravillosos poetas y novelistas hispanohablantes. Para mí este poema muestra cuan rica y expresiva es la lengua española.

Saludos 😊
