Spanish language Q&A Forum

Inma - Many thanks for this useful lesson.

I am wondering if it might be worth emphasising, at the beginning, that "-ar" verbs all form their gerund quite regularly. Is that true?

That could be reinforced with examples like pensar [> pienso] > pensando;

and (in your category 3): contar [>cuento] > contando.

and maybe even mention in your category 1 that crear > creando is quite regular - (i.e., with no 'y' inserted).

We do appreciate your hard work and dedication !

I went to notebook for subject QUERER QUE and didn't let me retake the quiz.

It had yellow highlight that was in the lesson itself.

To all of the teaching and development staff of Kwziq and Lawless Spanish:
If it were possible, I would recommend you to a top spot in both the teaching software and general software halls of fame. You gals and guys are the very best the world has to offer!
I am hopelessly addicted and probably moving too fast. I just love watching my percentages rise and can't get enough of it.

I am interested in the learning process from a neuroscientific point of view and I am witnessing numerous additions to my long-term memory. As a young child would, by immersion in the Spanish language, I am also adding new listening and speaking abilities every day to Broca's and Wernicke's areas in my most important asset, my brain. What I have learned is that the most important thing in life is to continue learning.
¡Saludos y congratulaciones a todos!

One of the examples sentences is:

 Me alegro de que hayas viajado a diferentes países.

Is the “de” obligatory  or may  it be omitted?

ie,  “Me alegro que hayas...”

Y despues? Quiero saber que pasa con Angela y Roberto!

Buenas tardes Inma,

Which do you find is the more commonly used of the two forms? Is it down to personal choice as to whether one uses the regular or irregular form?

Gracias

In the third sentence, would it be correct to say:  "Mi mejor amiga se apunta rápidamente a estos programas."?  Does it take something away from the meaning by saying it the way I wrote it?

In the fourth sentence, would the sentence be correct if I eliminate "son las que"?

I'm not trying to take anything away from the "style" of the writing or from the grammatical importance of the use of these relative pronouns, but I just want to know if the use of these relative pronouns is more about a certain style of writing or if they are grammatically necessary.

Thank you.

One of the questions is: .(fill in)....los regalos ella sopló las velas. One of the correct answers is "Antes de recibir Ana". De complete sentence sounds odd to me, is it correct?

Responsibility is misspelled in this sentence: to avoid some of the responsability for what is said
