¡Gracias Inma y Shui y todo el equipo por este homenaje especial a un autor maravilloso!

Could the same sentence be used to refer to the past?

For example:  Anoche fuimos a una fiesta. Después de la fiesta llamamos a un taxi.

Thanks

Hola,

The final sentence is given in English as "He will be very happy with us!" 

The Hint for the this sentence is "Manchitas is going to be so happy with us."

The final translation drops the word Manchitas, and replaces the word "so" with "very" per the first sentence: Va a ser muy feliz con nosotros." This leaves a lot of room for errors.

Saludos

The lesson is clear that "bueno" in front of a noun means "great," but simply "good" if after the noun.  So the instruction is that this girl simply wants a good man.  But the "correct" choice is "un buen hombre"!

Hola Inma,

In your response (at the bottom of this thread) you mention: "that is seen later on for irregular adjectives." I did a search for "irregular adjectives" but did not find one on this particular topic.  Can you refer me to the lesson you had in mind in your answer?

Thank you?

Hola, y gracias por responder a mi pregunta. 

My question relates to the sentence in this quiz:

"and be able to work on the negative aspects."

Kwizbot: y poder trabajar en los aspectos negativos. 

You:        y ser capaz de trabajar en los aspectos negativos. 

Note: My sentence does translate to : “and be able to work on the negative” aspects. 

I wanted to check with you if what I wrote: "ser capaz de"  is  correct and if not, why not ? 

And if my use of "ser capaz de"  is correct/acceptable?  - I would imagine that

there would be some difference in meaning?..-  and if so, what that would be. 

Thank you for your help.

What are verbs “like gustar”?Wouldn’t that include other verbs expressing feelings about something, like “fascinated”?So “a mi tambien” would be right?

Hola Inma,

¿Espero que estés bien? 

¡He disfrutado mucho este ejercicio con todas las expresiones idiomáticas! :)

Please could you let me know if I've understood these correctly in the context of the exercise: 

-higos a brevas= once in a blue moon.

-a tope= fully, to the fullest.

-de punta en blanco= dressed up to the nines, dressed to kill. 

-se mantiene en sus trece= digging his heels in, sticking to his guns (refusing to go).

Also, I'm unsure about the sentence which includes "ya he liado a mis amigos..."  Does liar here mean 'to manage to' or 'to trick'? 

Gracias 

Hello,

It seems to me this is more of a literal translation? 

Does it meant rather: "You went the wrong way."?

Or: "You walked on the wrong side of the road." ?

Thank you for your consideration.

Where does the concept of "leaving early" fit into the choice of answers, please?
