Present historic used in English

This device is often used in story telling and especially in jokes. E.g. "A man goes into a pub and asks the barman ......" It adds a freshness and immediacy to the narrative.

Qué vs. Cuál

Qué semana te vas de vacaciones?

What week are you going on vacation?

There are 52 weeks in a year.

Apparently, 52 is a large enough universe to use Qué and not Cuál.

If you wanted to say: What day of the week is today?....

would you say Qué dia de semana es hoy? or Cuál dia de semana es hoy?

There are 7 days in a week.

Is 7 a small enough number to use Cuál? or....

Are you asking for a definition of the day and therefore Qué?

Usually adjectives ending in "a" can also end in "o" to differentiate gender. But here "hipócrita" is invariable. What other "a" words are like that

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.

difícil (tilde)

Inma, Shui and all - Sorry to be a nuisance: (you certainly do an absolutely incredible job, day after day; many thanks !) - but in the C1 dictation exercise "Verano en la azotea ", your 'tilde' in difícil needs correcting: (your version shows "No fue muy díficil de transformar") - see the original request at https://spanish.kwiziq.com/questions/view/dificil-dificil [19th June].
