¿Probaste muchos platos exóticos en el evento gastronómico? Sí, probé ALGUNO.

Ricardo fue a París a ver museos y visitó ALGUNOS.

I can’t see the difference. Can anyone help?

I'm confused about the difference between e and a endings. Another lesson said they are invariable. So in this test I put antigua but the answer was antiguo. Why isn't antigua invariable? What am I missing?

In the writing challenge we are asked to translate: "The Spanish guitar has 6 strings and consists of a wooden box, a neck and a fretboard". Kwiziq's answer is given as "La guitarra española tiene 6 cuerdas y está formada por una caja de madera, un mástil y un diapasón"  and "está hecha de una caja..." is given as an alternative answer. 

I used consistir en instead of estar formada por  or está hecha de. However, if the sentence had been "The Spanish guitar is made of..." I'm pretty sure I would have gone with está hecha de.

So, is my answer wrong? Or, could my answer be considered a third alternative? And could you explain the differences between the two forms, consistir en and estar formado por/estar hecha de, and in what contexts I might use one in preference to another.

Saludos 

I’m confused, is there another way to determine when to use a direct or indirect pronoun? Eg, how do you apply “for whom, to whom” in this sentence: 

Me explicó su porqué pero no le creí. She explained her reason but I didn't believe her.
Muchas gracias,Shirley. 

Hola Inma,

For the last sentence of this passage, for my translation, I wrote, ¡Qué baile tan bonito! It was however marked as incorrect. Please could you explain why that is? 

Gracias. 

It says above "if  the sentence has me, te, se, le, nos, os, les then no goes in front of these"

But what about direct  object pronouns los, las, lo, la?

In Milan it is raining

Kwizbot En Milán está lloviendo 

You Está lloviendo en Milán

Why is my reply not OK?

and this one:

In the east, in Bari there's a storm

Kwizbot En el este, en Bari hay tormenta 

You En el este, en Bari hay una tormenta

Questioin: Would it not be acceptable to use "una" here, since it's a manifestation and not a condition like cloudy?

i.e. there's a cloud: hay un nube; it's cloudy: está nublado (I know it strays a bit from the "hay" format, but it's the only example I can think of. )

Thank you.

1. Cuando is always used with past tenses in the indicative ….
2. If we use past tenses in the subjunctive with Cuando …

There appears to be a direct contradiction above: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In statement #1, it is stated that Cuando must be in the indicative mood
in statement #2, it is stated that Cuando may be in the subjunctive mood.

Hi Inma, this is one of the most difficult things for me to grasp, especially in the body of a sentence, please could you put this near the top of your list for new lessons?

Hola,

Is there a lesson which develops this theme, and discusses when the definite article is used with the noun in the body of a sentence - and if there are times when this is not the case?

Thanks. John"

Hi I am a bit confused between vuestro and tu for yours.  Could I say 'El chico es tu primo'?

Thanks
