Hola Inma,
I have a question about present tense opinions of completed past actions. I know the for the English phrase, "I don't think we have done anything wrong to regret", one says, "No creo que hayamos hecho nada malo para arrepentirnos." However, if one changes the English phrase to, "I don't think we had done anything wrong to regret", shouldn't the translation change to, "No creo que hubieramos hecho nada malo para arrepentirnos"? Google does not change el preterito perfecto de subjuntivo to el pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo for this nuance. I think it should. Don't know if this is addressed anywhere else on this site. Can you comment for my benefit?
Saludos,
Wylie
La oracion: "que los compra acto seguido por internet" seems rather cumbersome. Is that the "Spanish" way of making such a statement? Why couldn't the same meaning be expressed as: "comprará los por internet".
Gracias.
I still don't get the difference. Always pick the incorrect answer in quiz.
Carlos no es mi primer marido.
.Why not primero?
How do we know if a noun is masculine or feminine in Spanish if it a new word to us? Is there a clue I am missing or is it just a guess?
In the quiz question "Es posible que Miguel ________ mucho esta noche." why is it beba and not beberá? Isn't the futuro used to talk about probability? (The given English translation is, "It's possible Miguel will drink a lot tonight.")
Re: ¡Vamos a ver ________ en directo este verano!

I was wondering why the name of the "group" requires a personal A here when in one of the examples above it doesn;t:
¿Vais a visitar La Sagrada Familia este sábado?
Are you going to visit La Sagrada Familia this Saturday?
Both are people, so what am I missing here?
Thank you,
Nicole
This recommends "estudiando violin" but "tocar el violin." I don't understand the rule for when to use the definite article.
Why is there 'le' for 'Tú le das el biberón a tu hijo' but not for 'Él da una carta a su hermana', 'Ustedes dan mucho dinero a la gente pobre', 'Vosotras dais los billetes de avión a la azafata', and 'Nosotros damos dinero a organizaciones de caridad'?
Why is the verb contar used instead of decir in the sentence El dependiente me está contando
