Es o está for location

“Jacinta y yo sabemos donde es la fiesta”. I thought it was standard to say está when referring to location. Am I missing something about a circumstance to say “donde es”?

reflexive spanish verbs are in the infinitive form when followed by pronoun, but the bot says: "separame: and I said: separarme . Pls explain why?Kwizbot Pero ahora no podría separame de mi "handbike" You pero ahora no podria separarme de mi handbike. I think wizbot is incorrect: from what I have learned so far, and having checked online, reflexive spanish verbs are in the infinitive form when followed by pronoun. Also per Spanishdict.com they say: “Reflexive pronouns are attached to the end of affirmative commands. For compound verbs like the present progressive, the pronoun can either be attached to the end of the infinitive or present participle or go before the conjugated verb.” Thank you! Nicole

Mucho: uncountable nouns rule?

You have this rule:

Mucho + [masculine singular noun] = a lot of / much [masculine singular noun]

Is this rule only valid for uncountable nouns?

All of the examples are uncountable nouns.

El séptimo piso

Hola Inma,

I used "planta" rather than "piso," and was marked incorrect. Is there a subtle difference?

Saludos

There are several things that are confusing about this lesson - the terms and meanings. You use both pretérito perfecto (once)

and pretérito perfecto compuesto (twice) in the same lesson for the same verb form. Is it possible to use just one.

Also, in my experience, ha invitado has usually been translated as has invited rather than invited/ ha visto as has seen rather than saw. So, I would then translate había visto as had seen. This is very confusing. Help. K
