"In Spanish, you use hubo whether it is followed by one item or many, unlike in English."

In Preterite, if third person singular is also used for plural, when is third person plural used?

¡Gracias!

Hello, in another context, I have come across the expression: 
No le di la mano hasta que no supe su nombre.
Would it also be correct, and have the same meaning, to omit the second "no" ?
And, in the 3rd example on this page, could one also say: 
No vas a salir de casa hasta que no recojas tu habitación.
? 

thanks!

Hi, I've just come across a use of estar + hecho that I didn't know before: 
  Tu hermano está hecho un hombretón. 

That doesn't seem to be quite the same as the usage here, and I cannot find any reference to this kind of estar + hecho elsewhere on kwiziq...

My answer:  Comprend tanto carne que pescado.   this was marked wrong.  Why would it be tanta when carne is masculine?

Instead of al comienzos?

Hello, I'm slightly confused with the following:

As you can see from the previous examples, when we use deber with this nuance of assumption/wondering, we can optionally use the preposition "de" after deber.

So you are saying that "de" is truly optional and has the same meaning whether "de" is used or not?

Thank you,
Dave

#46. I must be missing something. Why is seguí estudiando better than continué estudiando?
