Is a "trip" an idea or a thing?There is a test question that goes like this:
¿Qué viaje prefieres comprar? Prefiero ________.Which trip do you prefer to buy? That one over there.
The correct answer is "aquel". However, this doesn't make sense to me, as a trip isn't a thing you can see/touch. It's a series of connected actions (traveling from point A to B, seeing things, doing things) and as such seems more of an abstract concept or idea than a physical thing like a coat or a skirt.
According to the lesson text, the proper use of "aquello" is when referring to an idea. As such, I would choose "aquello" as the pronoun.
Am I interpreting the use of "aquello" incorrectly, or is the answer wrong?
This question: "Dime ________ te vas a ir de aquí." I think this could be interpreted in two ways, but perhaps there are other grammatical considerations that mean only one works. If the sentence is intended to mean, "tell me now at what point in the future you are leaving here", then 'cuándo' seems correct. On the other hand, if what is meant is "at the future point in time that you are leaving here, tell me", then I *think* it would be 'cuando' with no accent?
Incidentally, I have been through several rounds with tech support and I still never receive notifications of new answers. I get notified when somebody likes my question and I get Shui's suggestion every day, but only twice have I ever gotten email notifications of answers to questions. I do appreciate that questions are now marked as having answers, although that doesn't really serve to notify if there are additional answers since last I checked.
Anyone know what "la patacoja" is, I can't find it in any dictionaries.

Hi, translators are saying it should be:
Qué día tan maravilloso
but
Qué terrible accidente
Can you explain the different placement of the adjective in these examples please? And why "qué accidente tan terrible" doesnt' seem to be an option?
Thanks,
Jenny
Hola Inma,
Por favor, me puedes explicar esta, 'por no decir...'. Tengo una idea, pues más o menos, pero no estoy segura.
Gracias y saludos. Sé que es tarde...Feliz Año Nuevo:))
Hola,
The test question 'She kept on talking about Pablo.'
I was expecting there to be a personal a in there... hablando sobre a Pablo.
Just wondering why I shouldn't think that in future !? :)
Is it because a preposition isn't followed by another preposition, or something else?
Gracias,
This lesson has no explanation as to when and why to use this tense .
The lesson on pluscamperfecto is also poor.
As a result I am frustrated.
Examples alone are not sufficient.
I study Spanish in Guatemala where we don’t use the form vous. Is there any way that my lessons can be without the vous form? Thank you.
