Spanish language Q&A Forum

I'm guessing it's because it's the adverb of understand, not because it's the adjective of gente? Thank you!

In a test question, I answered “Nosotros nos llamamos Ana y Maria” and was marked incorrect, with “Nos llamamos Ana y Maria” offered as the correct answer, yet.......your lesson on reflexive verbs uses nosotros nos in an example. I am aware that the pronouns can often be dropped but I feel a bit cheated given it is used in the lesson example and not accepted in my answer in the test question.

Hola,

I clicked on the link at the top of this lesson to see more info on the topic :

However, later on I tried to do a search with both these entries in the search box and on the Library page with these entries - below-  and nothing came up (except the translations - which has happened several times before):

Entries: Spanish grammar lessons for Idioms, Idiomatic Usage, and Structures and

IDIOMS, IDIOMATIC USAGE, AND STRUCTURES (your link in the lesson)

I don't understand how come this does not come out in the search.  What am I doing wrong?

 Also would it work better to search in Spanish? 

Thank you. Nicole

I used 'murieron' instead on 'murió' and was marked wrong.  So, I assume that 'ejército' is always considered singular in spanish?

With the above question, "lo de" was said to be the answer.  However, there is a conjugated verb in the clause afterward, "fue".  Why isn;t the correct answer "lo de que"?  With a conjugated verb, the explanation says to use "lo de que". 

In the question "En el viaje ________ un niño atrás", the answer was 'se nos quedó'. Could you give a literal translation of this sentence because otherwise it seems like the verb agrees with the object of the sentence rather than the subject. I guess I'm asking for a way of translating quedar in my head so that even if it makes the English awkward, I can also keep straight subject and object (much like I can substitute "is pleasing" for gustar). 

Thanks! 

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.
