Present / past tenseIt was slightly confusing that this hint: [lit: "we love to see how is consumed the firewood"] told us to use the *present* tense - but the answer retained a past tense.

Where do you want to eat when we go out tonight?

Hi, can you clarify this question? In my opinion this is a question about something that WILL happen. It seems to me that the situation is that it is already decided that we will go out tonight, so I answered with the indicative:

¿Dónde quieres comer cuando salimos esta noche?

but the correct answer was given as:

¿Dónde quieres comer cuando salgamos esta noche?

Can you explain this a little more? I'm clearly missing some nuance.

Thanks!

Why not the hijos?"Él la respeta a ella pero no respeta a sus hijos."
Why wouldn't it be "no los respeta a sus hijos"?

Fuimos Ha Mallorca ___trabajo. (We went to Mallorca for/because of work.)

Hi,

I was wondering if and how this sentence would change if you were to use "para" and it comes to mind that perhaps if you used "para" then the sentence would have to change to "para trabajar" and not "para trabajo" ?

Or would there be 3 different meanings for each use: por trabajo, para trabajo, para trabajar (the latter meaning for the purpose of work, correct?)

Thank you. Nicole

What is the difference between "ser difícil de" and "ser díficil"

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

Wenli

I don't understand me gustan with first person. Is this the formal version?

What is wrong with saying "Yo predigo..."?

Why was "Yo predigo que vas a ganar la loteria" marked wrong and the correct answer given was: "Predigo que..." ?

I have always thought it an option to use the pronoun with the verb even though it can be left out.

muy informativo sobre el café chorreado

A very enjoyable read-along exercise and then well worth browsing through to check new vocab. I loved the café chorreado! So, Inma now has the nickname, "Sara".
