I know that you are teaching us well, and I'm 90% that I know what this means, but there isn't a translation for this sentence.

Hi. I remember learning that when we almost do something in the past, then we use the present tense, so that ¡casi me desmayé!  would be ¡casi me desmayo! 

Is this right or wrong or an acceptable alternative in speaking or writing?

Thanks

Stuart

Hola Inma, 

Gracias por ser tan claro cuando lees los ejercicios. ¡Me encantan tus historias! :)

Hola soporte,

Qué es la situación con huir en la forma de vosotr@s; ¿con i o la í?

Gracias,

Hi, Why do you say: “Como es usted”  instead of: “Como esta usted”!? Gracias, Arabelle

Could "Personally" also be translated as "Para mi"?

In the Yucatan in Mexico, I have heard el derecho for straight ahead. It is quite confusing with 'la derecha' for the right. Todo recto is much better!

Is is possible to explain when to use tener alittle more? I found on the internet that we use tener when talking about an abstract noun or direct object. Is that correct? If so then when do I use mide+measurement etc. ? 

Question in A1 Focus Test

Mi vecina Patricia es ______.

Hola,

I put "maleduca" because it's a woman, it's singular and when "maleducar" is conjugated in El Presente, it comes up as "maleduca."  Why is it marked wrong? Why is "maleducada" the correct answer?

In relation to that, I don't feel the question has been covered well because we have not encountered that word previously and I cannot find it in any lessons on the Lawless website.

Gracias por la respuesta!
