Spanish language Q&A Forum

II read in the lesson that eso and ello are mostly interchangable, except when used as a direct object. In that case you must use Eso. But in some sentences where I have used eso it was marked as incorrect in favour of ello.  What am i missing?  I didn't see a rule that said this is when ello is correct and eso is not acceptable.  Thanks

Good topic.  I hear these constructions a lot from my Mexican friends.  Even in dance class the instructor used to say "¿Sale?" after teaching a new step.

I find that in general they use inverted constructions a lot in Mexico.

How would we put these constructions into question form?  For example, could we ask "¿Cómo te sale?" to ask how something turned out?

It would really help if the English translations were closer to the answer you're looking for, especially in this lesson where depending on whether you're in Latin America or Spain, people could choose either option and be correct.

This is the question from the quiz that I got wrong:

Hoy no _________________ a nadie interesante.I haven't met anybody interesting today.
I selected "he conocido" because that is the direct translation and it seems like that's what they'd say in Spain due to the timing. But in Latin America (which is my selected profile but I'm not sure that it actually impacts my quizzes or not), it would be "conoci".
If you translated it to "I didn't meet anyone interesting today", that would make sense in English and prompt the correct answer, would it not? Because it seems like based on this lesson, either answer is correct depending on what Spanish-speaking country you're in!

Is it

Voy para la casa de mi amigo.  Is the use of para in this case particular to Spain?  IN Mexico and New Mexico(where I live) I'm pretty sure the sentence would use the prepossition "a" as in Voy a la piscina.

The construction "... te permitirá conocer personas" reminded me that the personal "a" is inserted only if the object of the verb is a known human being - specifically identified .. Thank you !

[I am sure this is mentioned somewhere in one of your lessons, is it?]

I haven't seen this use of "que" before.

Ya son las tres. Andando, que llegamos tarde.  It's 3 already. Let's get a move on, we're late.

¡Corriendo que nos mojamos!  Hurry up, we're getting wet!

I like this.  Is there a lesson on it?

In many lessons, we're told not to use the subjunctive when we have the same subject in both clauses.  Yet a few examples in this lesson don't follow this rule.  Could you please help us to understand when the rule applies and when it doesn't?  Thanks.
