Would you explain more clearly when one does or does not use "de" in this form? As far as I can extrapolate, if an infinitive is to follow, we use "de" but otherwise no?

Or is it optional in any instance?

RE: Chupachups RE: Chupachups (B2) Spanish writing exercise In addition, in 1994 the first mega lollipop was created HINT: In addition = además, put "was created" after "in 1994". I appreciated this hint, because without it, I would have structured if quite differently. Is there a lesson or rule or something to help me learn to be able to apply this structure easily? And other similar ones? -2 Also, these are from the Friday Weekend workout: Spanish writing and listening challenges, I was not able to find a list of the Thursday Weekend workouts, Could you tell me how to find those? Than you. I thought they’d be in the Library with the Friday ones, but only found the Friday ones. Thank you for your help and hope you are all doing well . Nicole

ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS 2la oración: TOMAREMOS una tarta de manzana. How does "tomar" become "to have" and why not use "comeremos" or "teneremos"? Or, is there another verb "to have" which can be used in the form of "we'll have" as meant in the sentence, such as "tener"?

"No seré demasiado atrevida"

Hola,

I still struggle with the whole ser and estar rules but I cannot see why ser is used in this sentence. If it means "I am not (by nature) the kind of person who will take risks" then "ser" would fit, but that is not at all obvious from the sentence. The translation offered was "I will not be too daring" [or something like that] which to me suggests that she was adopting a cautious strategy in the game, to avoid being embarrassed. Hence a temporary / changeable state.

Can you clarify this for me please?

Thanks. John
