Could "la plataforma" also be correct for platform, or is that Latin American? Thanks
Hola,
In this sentence, Gabriel was going to be helped financially by his parents
Gabriel decidió comprar el piso puesto que sus padres iban a ayudarle económicamente.
Why is Gabriel an indirect object, so ayudarle, as opposed to ayudarlo?
I'm guessing it is because there is a hidden direct object of money?
It's a bit hard for me to get my head around Gabriel being an indirect object because they help him, rather than help him with help (money in this case)!
Gracias,
Hi Inma,
Just a little question off topic.
In the example;
"Espero que hayáis reservado en el restaurante con antelación."
The preposition used is 'en' before el restaurante. In this sense do they mean 'at the restaurant' or 'in the restuarante'. Are there other prepositions you could use with reservar (like 'con') or is 'en' the standard preposition here.
Many Thanks
Hi, Inma
I translated the sentence "it would be very difficult to determine it." into "sería difícil de definirlo", and the correct answer removed the "de".
But when I translated the sentence "that will be hard to forget for tango lovers" into "que será difícil olvidar para los amantes del tango." the correct answer asked me to add a "de" after "difícil".
I'm so confused now.
Saludos

Why is "Ellos propusieron cambiar la ruta del viaje." wrong?
Why is "Propusieron cambiar la ruta del viaje." the only right answer?
I find it interesting [and useful] that in the constructions described here, the *Present* Subjunctive is allowed - whereas we can never put a Present Subjunctive immediately after a "Si ... " > (It usually has to be an *Imperfect* Subjunctive; or perhaps a Pluperfect one?) ... Perhaps we can say that the events in this lesson are more likely to happen than those in a "Si + Imperf. Subj." clause?
Can I use o instead of a in some cases? E.g. Prefieres agua o té. Prefieres ir a la playa o quedarte en casa?
Thank you
Hi all,
This is an interesting usage that I haven't come across before. Is it only used in Spain, or elsewhere as well? Especially the last example of giving a command in a threatening tone or in no uncertain terms,- "Ya estás largándote'..
I know that in Chile for example, when someone is telling someone to leave, (say, at the end of an argument or unpleasant discussion, especially when they want a person to leave the room/house), it's very common to say "Ya, ¡partiste!" in the preterite. "You left already'', hahaha, I love it!
Have any of you struggled to fulfil the expectations of the improvement timeline? The grey line is always at least 4 percentages above my progress. What does it look like for you? Are you managing? Are you ahead? Let me know
You implied that we should use "Adentrarse en" but "Adentrarse por" was given in the answer without a reference to "Adentrarse en". Which is correct?
In another sentence you advised lit' "we dined on some sandwiches" but "en" was not included in "cenábamos unos bocadillos". A bit confusing, no?
