A beseeching to the God of the Polyglots. Mode of communication between students and staff needs improvement.
There are 2 types of communication that I use on this website. The first type, questions about grammar, have always been answered most expertly and completely, way beyond expectations. My comments below are about the 2nd type, questions about the accuracy of the results of a quiz. It is the mechanics of communication needed in these cases about which I am commenting here.
1. The editing window in the forum needs some editing capabilities. The most important being the ability to add attachments. This cannot be easily dismissed. When I send a comment on a quiz result, I am always asked where it originates and I have no easy way of describing that and, without that description you are unable to properly respond. If I could take a snapshot of the quiz results and send that snapshot to you that would go a long way towards making this process more fruitful and less painful for both the student and staff. This suggestion really needs to be discussed further.
2. Add some kind of tag or identifier to be displayed in the quiz results page as an index to identify the source when a student wants to discuss quiz results with the staff. Then, you would not have to ask a student where the result originates.. There are simply too many possible places (hundreds of grammar topics and hundreds of quizzes) and no easy way to identify them after the quiz has taken. The fact that I may be the only one who ever makes such a suggestion, which I expect I am, does not mean that other students are not having similar difficulties in discussing quiz results as I am. I would bet my bottom dollar that they are.
3. Allow email as a means of communicating issues that may require advanced editing capabilities.
Ever appreciative, James
INTRANSITIVE VERB
4. (to marry; used with "con")a. to marryCasó con una chica de familia humilde.He married a girl from a humble family.Is there a lesson on, or can you talk a little bit about word order? An example says “esta era mí antigua escuela”. I would have said “escuela antigua“. Why is the adjective in front of the noun in this case? Gracias!
Hi,
On this exercise the question is
He pedido a la mensajería que ........... el paquete por la tarde/ I have asked the delivery company to deliver the parcel in the afternoon.
The hint is to conjugate the ellos form of entregar in El Presente de Subjuntivo.
Why is this to be in the plural form and not singular? As it states la mensajería/ the company which is singular.
Hola Inma,
-Juan le compró a su mujer un diamante. -Le habrá comprado un diamante pero no le hace ni caso.In the above example of yours, is it correct to use le compraría /le habría comprado un diamante pero no le hace ni caso, since le compró is a past accion.
I' m really confused with these two lessons: using el Futuro Simple / Futuro Perfecto to express objection,disbelief and using el Conticional simple / Conticional Perfecto to express objection,disbelief.
Muchas gracias!

I've come across an online site that made a statement about Spanish adjectives of nationality that end in an accented e, i.e., é. However after poring through my various resources, I haven't been able to find such an adjective that ends in é, with an accent. I believe the English nationality of Burkina Faso is Burkinabé, but that is a noun. I need adjectives.
Do you have any suggestions? I hope you can assist me in this matter.
I look forward to contributing to the answers that others have, too.
Thank you in advance.
