hi the Link to the wider lesson on this isnt working. When will it be available?

Im currently working on the idea that (in Spain) spaniards use the present perfect (when English would use the simple past) when there is a sense that the verb happened in the recent past, or otherwise related to the present in some way. e.g  you SAW the film THIS week, we SAW your parents (maybe THIS morning), or they SAW the sunrise (last night).

is this right? 

Hi,

How do I use estados unidos with todo?

Why whenever I use sobre in a sentence its followed only by 'la/el'? These examples are taken from the course I'm doing on Duolingo. 

E.g. El gato esta sobre la mesa. 

But if I use debajo its followed by 'de la/el'. 

Mi celular esta debajo de la ropa. 

Is there a reason for this? 

Why does one use just 'la/el' but the other needs the 'de' to be marked correct? 

is there any difference between these 2 sentences:

Sería bueno que Carmen estudiara más.

Sería bueno si Carmen estudiara más.

Gracias

Hi!

I wasn't able to get the list referred to below: 

 "Here is a list of personal "a" verbs:

[kwiziq_link type="studylist" id=830919]."

Do you have another way to get to this list?

Thank you. Nicole 

Hola,

Veo que solamente puedo ingresar hasta nivel B2 con Kwiziq español. Pero con Kwiziq frances, C1 es disponible. ¿Cuando podremos hacer lo mismo con español?

Gracias.

Hi, Shui, is there a difference between “este está compuesto por” and “este es compuesto por”? I would have expected the ser form in this context. From reverso.com I see both forms are quite common. Why would you choose the estar form in this case, and would the ser form be wrong? Thanks!

In the last line, why " vive a Madrid" not " vive en Madrid"?

Hola, 

Could we say something like ‘qué menos poco’, etc, to emphasise to an even greater extent the very little of the action/ verb that is going on?

Gracias,
