Hi, just a small error. Both examples are the same.
Fui a su casa para hablar con él.I went to his house to talk to him.
Here, we could have used the preposition "a"with the same intention:
Fui a su casa a hablar con él.I went to his house to talk to him.One example of junta means "gathered" instead of "together":
Había demasiado polvo junto en la habitación.There was too much dust gathered in the bedroom.
When do we use this different meaning?

One thing I find problematic (and frustrating even) about the dictation exercises is the intonation of the voice after punctuation (e.g., commas, periods, question marks, and even exclamation points) is highly inconsistent with natural speech. For example, typically speakers pause briefly after a comma, and the voice is raised sightly (or even demonstrably) after a question has been posed. These common features of natural/normal speech are too often absent and I think that is a major flaw in Kwiziq dictation exercises.

¡Hola! Am new here .I have a problem with the placement of 'usted'.For example ¿Usted tiene nietos?and ¿Tiene Usted nietos? Are both of the sentences correct? When or in what context do you use Usted before the verb or after.
In Latin America we only use the imperfect of querer if we didn't get what we wanted, or if we got what we didn't want. Otherwise we use the preterite. Is it the same with the version of Spanish you teach?
Hola,
I have just completed a test with the above sentence to be completed with an adverb.
I do not have a problem with the adverb but with this part of the sentence:
... no nos quedan más ...
Can you please explain how the above equals 'we have no more' in English? I wonder why it is quedan and not quedamos.
Many thanks for you help.
Saludos,
Colin
Hola, I see most of the reflective verb examples are habitual sentences, such as "todas las mananas", "todos los dias", 'siempre" etc. Is this usually how a reflective verb would be used? at least in the beginner's context? Gracias
Hola,
If I’m reading this right, we’re using todo cuanto when it’s an adverb, then when it’s an adjective, it therefore agrees with the noun?
I’m taking the following to be adverbial usage:
Haremos todo cuanto esté en nuestras manos para ayudarte.
Gracias,
Hola Inma,
1) My answer was "disfrutamos de esta cena maravillosa" but it was marked wrong.
Can you, please, explain when the verb disfrutar needs the "de"?
2) "y hizo una salsa de guacamole muy rica": I'm not sure, but I thing it sould be e hizo, or am I wrong?
Un saludo
