1)
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.
2)
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
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.

Why is the "quedarse + gerund" translated throughout as "stay...". I'm a native U.S. English speaker, and I don't know anyone who would say that someone "stays doing" anything. We'd say the person "keep doing...".

May I ask is there a unit explaining the expressions like "estar hasta las narices" "no tener dos dedos de frente" "dar la espalda" etc?
Hi!
So in another Q&A, a commenter said "Ahora lo tengo", expressing that now they "understand it" or they "got it". Does that work in Spanish? I haven't found a lot about that on translation websites.
Thank you!
In a children's story, people named a baby tapir "Tapete". Does the name carry a meaning of affection by changing the word tapir and making it sound cute? Or do they just want to name the baby tapir with the meaning of the word "mat"? Thank you!
Hola Inma,
I can't really understand the diference (if there is one) between fuera - afuera and dentro - adentro. ¿Me podrías explicar?
¡Feliz año nuevo!

I found the speaker very hard to understand.
In the first question of the quiz above, why is there no personal 'a' before 'este cliente'. Would it be more grammatically correct to write 'conseguir a este cliente' considering that the customer is a person? Thank you!
Hello,
What is the difference between á and à? I've been studying Spanish for a few months in America and this the first time I have seen à. "Yo vivo en el barrio Gràcia" was on my studyplan.
