These tickets for the tennis match are cheap. : ___ entradas para el partido de tenis son baratas.

The key word here to me is "These".  The answer of "Estas entradas" is marked as wrong and should be "Las" -- which would be "The tickets for ..."   

This looks like a mistake to me.

When working through the exercise, "En la televisión anunciaron nuevas medidas económicas …" was accepted as correct, but in the final version [which gets read to us at the end], "En la televisión anunciaban nuevas medidas económicas" was preferred... > This is not really a criticism or a question, because a good case can be made for each of those^ tenses - but you might like to cover that point to reassure us.

Hola,

Am I right in thinking this construction uses the present tense to represent ‘have’ and the imperfect tense to represent ‘had’, and that no other tense is used?

Gracias,

Hi, I can't find a good translation for "anima al paciente y su cuerpo sana antes."

Hello, 

Why they used tardar not tomar as tardar means late.. ? 

Question  

Why is vosotros/cantais used in the second sentence?   vs  Tu siempre cantas la misma cancion?

Tu cantas opera  - (you sing opera)

Vosotras siempre cantais la misma cancion - (you always sing the same song)

PS:  accent marks won't work

In Mexico we do not use the vosotros form and I wrote you about it and you said you were working on not using it for Spanish in Mexico.  This lesson had half of the questions in this tense.  This is wasting my money and time to learn what I do not need.  Please give  your students a way to avoid counting these questions.  Thank you

Explain formal and informal

My question is about the quiz item: "El niño rubio con pantalones cortos es mi hermano."

Why was the article "los" not used before pantalones cortos? [e.g., El niño con los pantalones cortos es mi hermano.] An extension of my question here is that sometimes I notice a definite article is inserted while other times it is not. Therefore, what is the rule for using definite articles (los/las) in sentences of this type.

Saludos,

Pati E.
