"Algunas compradoras se gastan mucho dinero en las rebajas." means...

Why not "Algunas compradoras gastan mucho dinero..." There is no passive voice here; "Some shoppers" is the subject of this sentence.

This problem arises often in my readings of Spanish, and I would love to understand it. Is this a passive, reflexive, or accidental use of "se"?

Hola,

Can you explain why the translations are "Eran tan refrescas" and "...estaba deliciosa." 

They are both describing the food so I would have thought that they would both been the same - i.e. using ser.

Hope you can clarify.

Regards

John

Really enjoyed this!

the 'tu' form of ganar in the subjunctive is gana not ganes.  It is only ganes in the negative.

Hi,

Prior to this lesson I was reading about the subjuntive case of verbs.  It seems that in the sentence above, the subjunctive case has been used.  It does not appear to satisfy the WEIRDO requirements.

Can you please tell me why 'ella se visite' has been used and not 'ella se visita'?

Thanks.

Colin

Hola,

In a Spanish show I've been watching, I often see the Object verb subject construction.  What I would like to know is how prevalent this construction is in everyday Spanish.  Are there situations where it is more commonly used?

Example. 

Nos gustaría que sus cosas las tuvieran los niños. 
Nos gustaría que los niños las tuvieran sus cosas.
*Sus cosas = Las cosas de sus hijas

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,
