Hi,

In the above sentence could 'ir' replace 'irse'?  If not, why not?

What is the meaning of 'irse' if not 'to go'?  And, when would it be used?

Thank you.

Colin

When using the de + infinitive construction, does the tense used in the main clause indicate the level of probability? Eg present = possible, future = less possible, conditional = very unlikely/impossible?

When is use of de + infinitive preferable to using the conditional si construction?

I forgot to drop it the first time, so I got a "nearly correct". The second time I dropped it, and it was still "nearly correct".  - This I don't understand...

Buenas tardes,

Solo quería decir que me gusta mucho el nuevo estilo y formato de Kwiziq.com. A mí me parece más claro y conciso. ¡Es genial! 

Gracias a todos en el equipo :) 

Although I understand this lesson, the quiz question  "What is the gender of the word ____" seems to vague.  My understanding is that, with living things, the gender of the word is determined by the gender of the person/animal etc it refers to.  Therefore, without a pronoun or phrase to clarify, it seems to me the correct answer should be "don't know".  Obviously, except in some very rare situations, "both" seems inaccurate.  Would it be more "on point" to ask thequestion using a phrase?

Why don’t buitres and águilas reales have definite articles? Is it because they are examples? It’s 50/50 for me with definite articles, I can’t see any pattern and the rules seem to change even after looking at the lessons!

Please explain when we should use "Yo soy " and "Yo estas" - in what contexts??

THank you
