In the lesson "Use Hace + length of time + que + El Indefinido "  we have this example:

-¿Dónde está Jaime? -Hace dos horas que se fue.
-Where is Jaime? -He left two hours ago.

In the lesson "When to use the perfect tense versus the simple past in European Spanish (Perfecto vs Indefinido)" we have this example:

Note: If you talk about time ago using hace then the tense will still depend on whether the event in question was 'today' or another day:

Lo he visto hace 2 minutos.
I saw him two minutes ago.

Are they both correct?  It they are, that tells me that when using "Hace + length of time + que + El Indefinido", we could either of these?

Some verbs in the preterite indefinido have tildes and some don't. Is there a rule for when they are used or not used, as i'm finding it difficult to remember when to use them?

Hi, what’s the difference between por donde and donde?

Thanks so much 

Shirley.

The translation for these examples have been translated in present continuous which I thought in spanish were Voy a construir una casa  -  I am building a house

Also Tú huyes del incendio has been translated as You're running away from the fire 

which I thought would be  - está huiendo del incendio

Thanks 

Julie

Let me know how your experience is!

¡Ya me contarás cómo está tu experiencia!

Why do we say it in a way that we already know how the experience is when we are asking someone to let us know?

Is soler+infinite geographically universal in Spanish-speaking countries or more common in some countries than in others? ¡Gracias en antemano para los insights!

Una dicción muy clara. Un audio excelente y un relato que chido.
