ine: and you have to pay for the ticket.
I wrote: y tu debes pagar el boleto.
but none of the answers gave this as a possible answer.
Is there something I'm missing as I thought it means: you must...(do something) as in:
b. have to (SpanishDict.com)
Ya sabes que debes ponerte la corbata para ir al colegio.
You know you have to wear your tie to go to school.

Also in the same exercise:
Line: I would like to visit Medellín next year.
I wrote: Me gustaría visitar Medellín el año proximo.
But none of the answers take this verb into account, but go with the verb: Querer:
Quiero visitar Medellín el próximo año.
Would this not also be a way of saying "I'd like to go" or should the English have been: "I want to go" and that there is
possibly an error here?
Thank you,
Nicole
I'm not clear on the difference between Quedar and Quedarse when expressing results. The lesson says to use quedar to emphasize a result, and to use quedarse to express the result of a change. What's the difference, please? For instance, the following two examples seem pretty similar to me:
Seguro que quedarás contenta con tu pelado nuevo.
I am sure you will be/end up pleased with your new hair cut.
¡Laura va a quedarse pasmada con la noticia!
Laura will be astonished with the news!
Thanks.
He pintado dos habitaciones.
Muchas gracias a Shui y Inma por este reader.
¡Qué emocionante! No puedo esperar a ver la serie :)
I used to love to watch the Hollywood production of 'El Cid' as a youngster. At Christmas of 2019, my daughter and I went to Burgos (where so many of my family & ancestors are from) and we saw El Cid's grave in the beautiful Cathedral of Burgos.
Voy a ver la serie en Amazon Prime :))
Hola,
Are we saying here that the use of 'de' is optional?
Gracias,
Bear in mind, though, that when this is used with the verb tener or haber, then you can add "de". For example:
Esa historia no tiene nada de particular.No había nada de irónico en mis comentarios.
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,
I've been learning Spanish slowly for many years now, from taking classes, learning online, and speaking with native speakers. My interactions in Spanish have been limited to Latin Americans, primarily due to the fact that I live somewhat close to the US/Mexico border. In my previous learning, I've been made aware of the word "vosotros" but not much beyond that. The conjugations I had previously been taught omitted the "vosotros" form. I have also never heard the word "vosotros" used in any conversations.
I'm curious how common it is as the lessons I am going through have the conjugations for that form, as well as examples. I'm not sure how much focus I should place on relearning conjugations for the vosotros form given my preference to learn Latin American Spanish.
Thank you in advance for your help!
In this question, would both of these answers be correct for: How would you say "The little girls who I went to the park with were your daughters."?
Las niñas con las que fui al parque eran tus hijas.
Las niñas para las que fui al parque eran tus hijas.
