Why is this written like this: Esta noche especial voy a ir a un cotillón

The english said: I am going to a party, NOT I am going to go to a party

Should it be : Voy a un cotillón

I’m the examples “that is an umbrella” and “I have an idea” where there is no clear gender established is it acceptable to use either un or una?

¡Hola! ¿Por qué usamos el verbo "toques" aquí? ¿No debería usar "toca" si estamos dando un consejo (tú afirmativo)? Supongo que esto es porque estamos dando un comando negativo, es decir "nunca toques" significa el mismo que "no toques". ¿Es correcto? Si es así, creo que una lección correspondiente debería estar vinculada a la oración (Forming the Spanish imperative of tú/ vosotros/vosotras (negative commands)).

Nos pusimos muraos (we pigged out out), i get that it’s an expression, but what does muraos literally translate into? Thanks a lot, Shirley.

To really make my day, illustrations would have been great. Do they exist?

When using "a tan solo de que", is the verb in the subordinate clause in the subjunctive?

I don’t understand why the 2nd sentence (starting “Fue”) uses the indefinido but the 3rd sentence (starting “La lengua” uses the imperfecto. I can’t really see any difference between them and I thought they should both be the imperfecto tense since they refer to something that happened over a long period. Likewise tense choices in the later sentences. Thanks for your help, Tony

Hi,

How would you confirm that you were talking about him and not her or your in the above sentence?

Thanks.

When use esta or es?
