Spanish language Q&A Forum

I noticed that nunca goes after nosotros,yo,él/ella, but not estoy. Why is that

1)hi, could you tell when is molestar used as gustar verb and not,        2)Also in the sentence, the heat annoys me , the spanish translation for this would be ,                                                                    Me molesta el calor,but wont ``the heat`` =lo(dop)                               So the sentence should be , ``me lo molesta``, but why isnt it so on the translators

3)the structure when molestar is used as ``gustar`` is , iop+molestar+subject.Is this an exception?                                                  R there nay other verbs  like this, 

Hi,

I don't understand why some of these phrases have "de" or "que" in parentheses - what does this mean? 

 antes (de) que (before), con tal (de) que (provided that), mientras (que)

Are there certain times when you would use the words in parentheses or not use them? I'm confused as to why this isn't explained.

Thank you!

Hi,

In the translated text above, these terms all get the articles, however, in the test, they all don't.

i.e.:la astronomía, y en las matemáticas. También, trabajaron en la agricultura y el comercio"

in the test, it corrected me, so I'm a bit confused:

Could you please let me know when you can/cannot use the article "le,la,las" etc in front of these: 

The test examples: 

Kwizbot Los aztecas destacaron en astronomía,

You Los aztecas destacan en la astronomía,

You could also say: Los aztecas destacaron en la astronomía, 

Kwizbot También, trabajaron en la agricultura

You También, trabajaron en agricultura

[note: here I dropped the article and it didn't correct me]

Well done! and in mathematics.

Your answer matched mine: y en matemáticas.

Thank you for your help and have a great day!

I'm having a tough time knowing when to use the simple past and when to use the imperfect. Could someone walk me through the sentence below and help me understand why we use the different tenses?

Why is it fuertemente insteadbif fuertamente.? Thank you

Though it is a bit formal sounding, another way to translate the passive form in English referring to a  '"general you", i.e. people in general ',  is "ONE must/can...". For example "One must always tell the truth".

I find that helps me differentiate between "you must" - debes (a specific person), and the passive "One must" - se debe (people/individuals in general) 

In the quiz question 

He imprimido nuestras fotografías del viaje, ¿ quieres ver _____ ?  

The answer was the singular alguna, and I only knew this from the hint. It seems like the person who was offering to share the photos was being stingy only allowing 1 or 2 photos to share. Would it be wrong if I had a stack of 20 photos to say, Quieres ver algunas? It seems to be a more generous approach to allow another person to see more than just a select 1 or 2 photos.
