Spanish language Q&A Forum

I was curious...

En esta frase, "Me recomendó que practicase meditación y que tuviera una actitud positiva."  Es muy común que una persona mezcle ambas formas del imperfecto de subjuntivo dentro de la misma oración? 

I've been taught that this usage of the passive voice is discouraged in English, especially in formal writing, and especially when the active voice is easily possible. Is the same true in Spanish? Thank you!

To me it sounds a bit contradictive in this lesson: first, you say "nouns that end in a consonant and refer to inanimate objects are generally masculine" and then you continue with "you cannot predict the gender of inanimate objects".

I have no problem with having to memorize things, but I think that first part may be confusing to some, so it might be better to just leave it out.

I'm very much enjoying the lessons in general though. ¡Gracias!

One of the quik quiz questions had "Ella nunca...".  The rules and your examples seem to say that "nunca" has to be at the very beginning of the sentence yet "Ella nunca..." was given as a valid answer.  May I suggest that you add in an example to make that point clear?  Thanks

It seems to me that it is a statement of opinion or one of uncertainty, not a statement of fact.

Thank you

The lesson says, "Sometimes, when we talk about putting or attaching things on people, animals or things we still use the indirect object pronouns without the preposition." In the examples of this that are given, what preposition is not being used? Thanks!
