Spanish language Q&A Forum

I recommend linking to Difference between cuándo and cuando in Spanish (with and without an accent) as a related topic.

There is an error above.  

Neither of these are phrased in the passive and the second sounds like it could be a command. If they had been phrased "what vegetables are needed?" and "first one buys fresh vegetables", then I could see. Are there reasons that my answers are wrong??

Here's what I put:

Lidia] Ah pues dime, ¿qué verduras necesitan?

[Sonia] Mira, primero compra verduras frescas 

Could I say La ultima vez que la vi fue hace...

Hola,

We have porque, que and como in this construction - and we know that por can mean 'because of' - can it also be used as a causal conjunction in this sense?

Gracias,

It seems to me that in many cases we could substitute the imperfect with perfect. The main difference would be that in the former we talk about a repeated activity and in the latter about whether something ever took place or a few times at the most.

Hola,

I clicked on the link at the top of this lesson to see more info on the topic :

However, later on I tried to do a search with both these entries in the search box and on the Library page with these entries - below-  and nothing came up (except the translations - which has happened several times before):

Entries: Spanish grammar lessons for Idioms, Idiomatic Usage, and Structures and

IDIOMS, IDIOMATIC USAGE, AND STRUCTURES (your link in the lesson)

I don't understand how come this does not come out in the search.  What am I doing wrong?

 Also would it work better to search in Spanish? 

Thank you. Nicole

I noticed the sentence below in a quiz. I'm curious to know why "ese" is the natural choice here instead of "aquel." I had thought that both words should indicate maximum distance.

I learned Spanish in Mexico and this usage is not familiar to me. Is it more likely found in Spain?
