Spanish language Q&A Forum

In a quiz the question:  How would you say "His name is Alan"?     was marked incorrect when I answered: Te llamas Alan.  It looks like this is correct. Am I missing something_

From this lesson, it states that they are all interchangeable.

but i read from elsewhere such as spanishdict, it says el cual, el que etc have to be used after prepositions, and commas.

may i have a clearer explanation on when will we have to use the others, when do we have to use que only.

This triggers subjunctive. may i ask if this is because this sentence is asking for advice?

Because i remember that only negative construction of opinions will trigger subjunctive, for example i dont think that = no creo que.. 

or is this understanding of mine wrong too?

thanks

       I hope this might serve a beneficial purpose. I just had a conversation with someone in México (also a degreed Spanish teacher). During the conversation I thought I would tryout the new phrase I learned here; I used the phrase "Estar deseando + infinitive in our conversation: "Hija, estoy deseando pasar tiempo contigo en La Navidad."  She advised that, while she understood what I was saying, it is not commonly used there and it sounded a bit odd, as if I was translating exactly from English. She wondered if was mostly used in Spain. She advised that Spanish speakers in México are more likely to use - admittedly, colloquially-  "Ya + verb Querer:"Ya quiero que pase tiempo contigo en La Navidad." This translates to: "I am looking forward spending time with you at Christmas."   As for the phrase "Tener ganas," she agreed that it could mean " looking forward to," but in México it is more associated with " I feel like ( doing/ having something)."

se encuentra en el sur de España, cerca del Mediterranean Sea - I wrote this for the first sentence “it is located at the south of Spain, near to the Mediterranean Sea”.  My questions are: is se encuentra accepted? And how do we know if we should write it as a name for Mediterranean Sea or as El mar Mediterráneo? And does qué exclamation sentences always in plural? Thanks

Question  

Why is vosotros/cantais used in the second sentence?   vs  Tu siempre cantas la misma cancion?

Tu cantas opera  - (you sing opera)

Vosotras siempre cantais la misma cancion - (you always sing the same song)

PS:  accent marks won't work

How exactly do we use this as it means "Curiosities" as well!!

I heard some intresting facts about you.

He oído algunos curiosidades de ti.

Is it okay to say this?
