Would it be safe to assume that "por" is used instead of "para" when it makes sense to say "porque", or "because" in English? This was just a connection I made while reading the lesson, and knowing this would be really helpful! If so, can the two words just be swapped out for one another? Thanks!

Why is está bien correct when  it is a permanent condition - shouldn't it be only es buena. 

Hi Inma

Thanks for your quick response.

By extension can I also combine nunca and tampoco in the same sentence as shown below

Ella no pudo nunca entender tampoco la pregunta.

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

It seems to me that it is a statement of opinion or one of uncertainty, not a statement of fact.

Thank you

Is it correct to answer questions with numbers in invariable form, that is, the same form that we use when we count?

Ex: ¿Cuántas personas hay en el aula? --> Hay doscientos uno.

Ex: ¿Cuánta cuestan estas? --> Quinientos veintiuno.

Thanks.

Is "Qué es tú nombre?" also a valid way to ask what is your name?

Hola,

In the following quiz I replied with ‘...solamente hubiéramos llegado...’ and it was marked as incorrect. The required answer was just ‘hubiéramos llegado’. Was I in fact wrong to include ‘solamente’? Is the ‘if only’ implied here? 

Si ________ a tiempo. If only we had come on time.HINT: Conjugate "llegar" in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de SubjuntivoGracias a todos 

I used comenzar for start but it was corrected to empezar. What is the difference in the usage of the two verbs?

In what area of the Spanish speaking world is "genial" pronounces "hen yen"?
