Spanish language Q&A Forum

I wrote: Qué metiste en esa caja? and was marked wrong. The right answer should be : Qué metias en esa caja? 

As I understand it you did not put something in the box habitually. You did it at a special occasion. So what's wrong with "metiste"?

Hello

I searched to find the reply but was not successful.  Could you let me know the reply to her question. Thank you. Nicole

This is Pati's question below:

"I'm unsure when (and when not) to use a + pronouns when also using an indirect object pronoun. I understand emphasis, but not real clear when to place emphasis. When I use it normally, it seems redundant. "

Hi,

I was wondering why the "present" tense is used in Spanish for "llamar" which is then translated in the future tense.  Why not llamaremos?

Después de la fiesta llamamos a un taxi.
After the party we will call a taxi.

Thank you. 

I can't find a translation of "librerias que bares"

Is "se" ever used with gustar outside the case of reflexive liking each other? 

Hola,

In a show a character says "La muerte de mi hija no iba ser una excepción."  Why is it "no iba ser" rather than "no iba a ser"?  What is the grammatical rule here?

Muchas gracias!

hello, 

I am struggling with that one, my native language is French and although my English is pretty good (I am an English teacher after all), the difference between "wanted" and "wanted" is pretty slim indeed....

isn't there a more grammatical approach to this ? I am afraid the semantics approach does not cut it for me ...

thanks in adavance 

Explain formal and informal

Why “ello”? Despedida is feminine. 

Quiz question: "Cuanto más ricos, más desgraciados.

The richer [you are], the more miserable [you'll be]." 

Why are these adjectives plural? (They are adjectives, right?)
