Spanish language Q&A Forum

I still can't get it right when to use the definite article. La televisión or just televisión? Television in general? It's always a 50-50 guess for me.

Thank you!  I also found a very good website for pronunciation, listed by diphthongs, etc at:

which might be useful.

I thought I understood that an accent is used when cuándo is a question but now It’s also used when it isn’t. So when do we use cuando without an accent? I can’t work it out. 

Hola,

I have a few questions on this exercise  -- that did prove to be challenging : )

1. Store it in the fridge until the next day

Kwizbot          Guárdalo en la nevera/ frigorífico  hasta el día siguiente
You     ­­­­­­­­­__________  en la nevara hasta el día proximo.

The test didn’t accept “el día proximo” as a possible answer, whereas online translators have translated "el día proximo" as “the next day”.  So I’m wondering if this phrase connotes something other than”the next day”.  Thank you

2. I get confused and can’t tell when to include the word in parenthesis in the Spanish translation– like here :

Then, knead (the dough)

Kwizbot     Luego, amasa
You   Luego, amasa la ___________.

 And how would it be written if, for example, if the word isn’t said in English, but appears in Spanish and/or vice versa?  And the meaning of any other similar anotations,

3. In my answer, would this phrasing/word order be acceptable, and if not, why not?

the marzipan is ready!

Kwizbot                 ¡Ya está listo el mazapán!
You                        ¡El mázepan está listo!

 Thank you for your attention and patience!

Have a great day! Nicole

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!
