hacía...que, desde hacía que

The subtlety of this concept is lost on me. Can you explain in more detail the difference between these two sentences, please.

Hacía unos meses que trabajaba con su padre.
He had been working with his dad for a few months.

Trabajaba en la empresa desde hacía tres años.
He had been working in the company for 3 years.

Definite and indefinite articles usage

I have real problems with when to use articles. In this exercise why fruta Y verdura (no articles) but la piel y el rendimiento (articles)?

Thanks for any advice

VERBOS QUE SON SINÓNIMOS

También está correcto la contestación: "Yo estoy", pues viene del verbo estar. Además los verbos: estar, llegar y regresar son sinónimos. Volver (vuelvo), estar(estoy), llegar(llego). Entiendo que las dos premisas son correctas, tanto la que utilizas como la que utilicé en el contexto.

"Exists" should be plural

Your English original is: "the tango is one of the most sensual dances that exists in the world". During the course of the exercise, I felt that "exists" should really be plural, so I put "existen" in my translation answer - and that was accepted as correct. However, your final Spanish version still makes it singular.

Usando 'hay' para describir la clima

no entiendo por que, en español , necesita usar "hay" por una oración: "Hay niebla" --pero, no puedo usa la misma estructura para la expresión -- "Esta soleando". Lo se que el ley es usar "hay" siguen por un noun y usa "hay" después un adjetivo --pero no es "niebla" un adjetivo también? verdad?

Me neither

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

hasta que acabase

Hi there,

I have a question about the final sentence of the exercise. Why does 'hasta que' invoke the subjunctive here when the action is in the past? Thanks.
