I would have thought that estar would be used here rather than ser. On reflection I imagine that ser was used because the emphasis is on the first marriage, rather than the emotional state of the person talking.

Is that the case or ....?

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

Que vs. que

Are there structural clues we can look for to determine whether "que" is meant to express a wish vs. disbelief or would it be contextual? I ask since sometimes the disbelief version can be followed by the subjunctive.

is esperar a transitive verb?

In this question (I waited for them), it appears to me that "them" is an indirect object pronoun. Below, Gruff, a Kwiziq team member says this. However, this question is answered by using a direct object pronoun. I got it wrong when I used the indirect pronoun. Which is it? I would appreciate having this clarified as I keep getting this question and I don't know how to answer it. Thanks,

Mi descubierta

Yo creo que la palabra ella es una combinación de las palabras el y la. Similarmente, la palabra ellos es una combinación de las palabras el y los y también la palabra nosotros es una combinación de las palabras nos y otros y también la palabra vosotros es una combinación de las palabras vos y otros. Me parece que son similares con el tipo de palabras en inglés llamada contracciones. Yo espero que yo tengo razón pero no estoy seguro de este. Por favor me explique.
