Why is this written like this: Esta noche especial voy a ir a un cotillón
The english said: I am going to a party, NOT I am going to go to a party
Should it be : Voy a un cotillón
I used the imperfect subjuntive - "'Es sorprendente lo lejos que viniera este artista en su carrera" Why gave you used the preterite? I've looked up the phrase Es sorprendente and it does say it will take the subjunctive as is an impersonal phrase.
Es sorprendente lo lejos que este artista llegó en su carrera
You make the distinction that todavía can be placed before or after the verb unlike in English, but I think it can be done in English as well. It might be a bit less common (or perhaps more poetic), but I can think of sentences where it could come after the verb still.
I don’t understand any of this at all, whatsoever. I’ve read it many, many times, including the comments. I know there is a difference between Spain Spanish and Latin American Spanish for has/have, but how can one differentiate between them? I am so lost.
I've seen your lessons on que without an accent including one on que used in question format with indicative to indicate disbelief. But my question is about que without an accent in declarative statements that seem to show emphasis or surprise.
I can think of one example. "Ahora que recuerdo!"
Is there a lesson on this type of que or can you explain it a little? Is it simply emphasis and can I use it an any sentence where I want to put emphasis?
Thanks, Philip
Todo alcalde merece respeto. (English trans: All mayors deserve respect.) Why is it not Todos alcades merece respeto?

I used 'murieron' instead on 'murió' and was marked wrong. So, I assume that 'ejército' is always considered singular in spanish?
The quiz answer (shown below) and the lesson information don't match. I wonder if you could help explain. I don't see anywhere in the Lesson where it says, "Arriba, corriendo" means "Hurry, run!" Is that information in another lesson?
