Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hello,

I hope everything is well at Kwiziq!

How would I express something like:

"They are my dad's"

Would it be:

"Son de mi padre"

Ser is a verb and I'm not sure if it can be used with the preposition "de" like this or if this is a common way to express "they are" in Spanish. Could you use the pronouns: este, esta, estos, estas, ese, esos, esa, esas?

Thank you,

Andrew

What is the difference between these two sentences?

Las fresas habían estado siendo recolectadas.

Las fresas habían estado recolectadas.

If they both mean 'The strawberries had been collected.', under what circumstances are the two sentences used?

I understand your comments below where "sobre la montaña" refers to the top of the mountain, and why "por" is the best choice. However, I'm curious about using "sobre dónde" with respect to "la cine," for example, where there is no "top". I've seen "sobre dónde" elsewhere used to mean "whereabouts", and am wondering if this is correct.

I am confused 

When can i use hay...hace...estar 

Can u explain in details plz 

And i need more exercise in this thing 

Thx in advance 

How do I enter an inverted question mark at the beginning of the question?

No puedo entender esto parte.

solo mira el aguila cruzando el mundo azul (mirar: to look/see, so translation would be only look the eagle crossing...etc?

solo cantan las sirenas en el ancho de los mares (only sing the mermaids?

Un poco confundida. 

Hola,

I was wondering, as this lesson specifically deals with esperar in the meaning of "to hope", what happens if I want to use it as "to wait"? Does it also require El Subjuntivo?

Does it mean that he wants to be on the ship on the day of his birthday? Or does he want to receive the gift on that day?
