Is a "trip" an idea or a thing?There is a test question that goes like this:
¿Qué viaje prefieres comprar? Prefiero ________.Which trip do you prefer to buy? That one over there.
The correct answer is "aquel". However, this doesn't make sense to me, as a trip isn't a thing you can see/touch. It's a series of connected actions (traveling from point A to B, seeing things, doing things) and as such seems more of an abstract concept or idea than a physical thing like a coat or a skirt.
According to the lesson text, the proper use of "aquello" is when referring to an idea. As such, I would choose "aquello" as the pronoun.
Am I interpreting the use of "aquello" incorrectly, or is the answer wrong?
I'm having trouble with sentir and sentirse, sentir is what you feel and sentirse is how you feel. I put "I feel scared" in Spanishdict translator and it said "siento miedo" but in Kwizik "I feel emotional" is "ME siento emocionada". Unless Spanishdict is wrong, I can't see how I feel scared and I feel emotional are different?
Todo alcalde merece respeto. (English trans: All mayors deserve respect.) Why is it not Todos alcades merece respeto?

Dear Kwizteam,
I noticed that this construction places a comma before 'que' but not before 'porque'. In English, if the subordinate clause follows the independent clause, there is no comma. In Spanish, does this depend on the type of subordinate conjunction used?
Regards.
in one of the examples,
Verás, el chico se va a enfadar y va a coger y le va a dar un puñetazo.
You'll see, the guy is going to get cross and he's going to go and give him a punch.
where does 'se va + a' comes from? is this irse with other meanings?
Could you direct me to the appropriate lesson?
thanks
In ref to this: How would you say "I am studying Spanish with Kwiziq right now"?
My instinct was to say con Kwiziq, not en Kwiziq for the answer.
Can you point me in the right direction so that I can lock that concept down, please?
Maybe you have a lesson already for this purpose?
Muchísimas gracias,
Volver is also used to mean "become" or "turn." As in vuelva loca.
may i summarise and say that igual de... que is used for non quantity or another way, quality comparisons only? for example, we can use tanto... como for 'tiene tanto dinero como yo', but we cant use it with igual de. non quantity or quality comparisons which are adjectives, adverbs.
