Spanish language Q&A Forum

Como yo entiendo, "mejor te vas" es "you better go." Se puede usar "mejor + verbo en presente" como "you better..."  lo que sea?" Tal como "mejor comes ya" o "mejor vienes pronto." Sé que podría decir "deberías comer ya" o "come rápido!" para expresar "you should eat now" y "eat quickly!" pero "you better eat now" y "you better come soon" son distintas en el tono. Y también el contexto es importante. Así la pregunta. ¡Gracias!

Just wondering if habrías coincidido might be better said as habrías conocido.

Hello, I am near the end of my Spanish lessons in Kwiziq and I was told by a previous instructor that many tenses (or moods, etc) are no longer used in Spanish. In a previous lesson in the C1 grammar, I think it was mentioned that the future subjunctive mood is no longer used, but it can be found in older books. Can anyone let me know of any tenses that are no longer used that they know about?  Or anything about Spanish grammar that is now obsolete?

Thanks, I'm just curious to know : )

For the quiz question: "Mira a ese chico, ¡qué bueno está!

having both 

" Look at that guy! He is hot!"

and

" Look at that guy! He is cute!"

as possible answers is confusing. In American English at least, there can be a great deal of overlap between hot and cute in terms of indicating sexual attractiveness. (Cute can also be applied to, say, a puppy whereas it's unlikely you would say a puppy was hot unless you meant it quite literally. It's debatable whether a cute puppy could grow into a hot dog.) 

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!

Hola,

I'm intrigued that the threats are interpreted with a question mark, rather than an exclamation mark. Are they interchangeable?

Gracias,

I am very confused. In the above lesson it describes when to use poder in the preterite indefinido.

in this lesson there seems to be No specific moment in the past or where speaker is outside the time frame 

This lesson "Conjugate poder in the preterite tense in Spanish (El Pretérito Indefinido)" it describes when to use the preterite indfinido when referring to a specific moment in past  and time it happened is relevent OR referes to pastwhere speakersees themselves outside the time frame
