Spanish language Q&A Forum

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.

Where can i find out how to conjugate pintar

in the imperativo?

I understand the use of the subjunctive after 'querer que' but why is this case is 'you' translates as you all (vosotros) and not you singular form? I makes sense if the statement was 'I want you all to back at my side '....

This distinction also appears in the lesson. 

Hola,

I have a couple of questions on this activity:

Question1:

why the use of the imperfect here:  

Kwizbot ¡Era muy bonita! 

Question 2: 

Kwizbot En el jardín había una piscina muy grande 
You En el jardín había una muy grande piscina 

How to learn this structure, what rules govern this use.  

Thank you for your help,

Nicole

Why is the "quedarse + gerund" translated throughout as "stay...". I'm a native U.S. English speaker, and I don't know anyone who would say that someone "stays doing" anything. We'd say the person "keep doing...".

Hello,

I've lost how to get to the page/site where you have the Spanish text on one side, and the translation on the other side.  However, the text is invisible and you can refer to it as needed.  

How do I get those articles?

Thank you.

"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!

I did not see any discussion as to whether you can split the pronouns and put just one on the end of the infinitive/gerund:

Tengo un libro nuevo y me quierolo  leer pronto.

Tengo un libro nuevo y lo quierome  leer pronto.  (pronoun ordering???)

Would either of these forms be acceptable?

entender a su hijo
entender su pinto de vista
in english we don't use any preposition with the verb 'understasnd'
but why in spanish, do we use preposition 'a' sometimes?
