Spanish language Q&A Forum

The translation for these examples have been translated in present continuous which I thought in spanish were Voy a construir una casa  -  I am building a house

Also Tú huyes del incendio has been translated as You're running away from the fire 

which I thought would be  - está huiendo del incendio

Thanks

Hello,

The lesson contains an example for this reinforcement:

Julián y Alberto se respetan el uno al otro.

It is not quite clear if it is gender dependent or not. If two ladies respect each other or a man and a woman, will the reinforcement change?

Thank you.

It seems that one can use both sobre and hacia to express that "at around/around" a certain time something is happening. e.g. "I meet you at around seven". 

Can they be used interchangeably in this context or is there a difference between when one would use sobre and when hacia? 

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:))

Would it be safe to assume that "por" is used instead of "para" when it makes sense to say "porque", or "because" in English? This was just a connection I made while reading the lesson, and knowing this would be really helpful! If so, can the two words just be swapped out for one another? Thanks!

Sorry, re my previous question i meant Pongamonos, not pongonos.

I find this concept a bit confusing and awkward.  "Las joyas estaban siendo robadas por el ladron."  I feel it should be simpler, "las joyas fueron robadas por el ladron."
