hola 

does this literally mean " its official number of inhabitants being xxx personas" ? 

I am confused with the word order:   can you also say " su cifra oficial siendo.xxx.."   ? 

I feel putting " siendo" at the beginning demands a number first . Such as " xxx  siendo su cifra" 

Could you elaborate ? 

Muchas gracias!

Es un poco raro, que los moros no son mencionado??

Please explain when we should use "Yo soy " and "Yo estas" - in what contexts??

THank you

Whenever I click "estas/eres" for the informal/formal where are you from question, it says its wrong and corrects it to "de donde son". The lesson doesn't mention "son" at all.

What are the verb endings in this tense?  Although it is noted that the verb stem is the same as in the future tense, I do not find a list of the verb endings anywhere.  

There is an error above.  

In this example, "No me gusta nada ir de compras" why the preposition DE after the word NADA was omitted? 

I have a question regarding the following excerpt:

"Both "¿Por qué no...?" and "Mejor no..." followed by El Presente are more frequently used in speech than their equivalent forms using the imperative:

Vayamos a la playa.
Let's go to the beach! (affirmative command)

No vayamos a la playa.
Let's not go to the beach! (negative command)"

My understanding is that whilst 'vayamos' is the negative imperative form of 'ir', 'vamos' is the affirmative form, contrary to the above.

Is there a situation where we would use the subjunctive 'vayamos a la playa' instead of the affirmative imperative 'vamos a la playa' to express the same command?

Many thanks,

Stu

Hola, 

Why is the personal 'a' not used in 'conocemos gente'? Would 'conocemos a la gente' be an acceptable answer here?

Thanks,
