I've already forgotten which I picked, but I got it wrong. My confusion is that according to the lesson, both "aun así" and "aún así" mean "despite that". I can't think of a sentence in English where "even so" is not interchangeable with "despite that". It certainly seems like they are interchangeable in the quiz question above. Is there a nuance that I'm not grasping that explains why only one of the options is correct?

¿Cómo que no?

Esta lección me hizo reír...

As a very small child, I remember hearing the sentence, ¿Cómo que no? quite often. Perhaps a response to a refusal to do something? I don't think I was a disobedient toddler, so it must have been one of my siblings being a bit naughty, un poco rebelde o algo asi, haha ;))

Explanation is ConfusingThis Preferir conjugation exercise says: "Notice how for all three groups, the first vowel -e- in the stem becomes -ie- except for the nosotros and vosotros forms."

Don't you mean the SECOND vowel changes to IE?

También, ojo con los enchufes y nunca toques

¡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)).

Para mi vs Personalmente

Could "Personally" also be translated as "Para mi"?

Missing "estar form" and "que"?

I am very confused by the English translation of the sentence "Os veo bastante triste." ("I can see that you are quite sad"). It seems to me quite a few words are missing in the Spanish. Can one also say, "Puedo ver que estáis bastante triste." Please help. I find that I am often confused as to when "que" must be used. And in this particular case, I'm also confused about the verbs.

Saludos,

Pati E.

Is including personal pronoun wrong?

Hi,

I have just completed an A1 test where the missing word(s) were required in this sentence:

Siempre ________ confundo haciendo este ejercicio.

The hint was that the reflexive verb 'confundirse' was used.

My answer was 'Siempre yo me confundo ...' and was marked wrong. The correct answer dropped the 'yo'. Is that correct? Surely, both answers are correct, although mine may not be commonly spoken.

Best regards,

Colin
