Hola Inma,
This appears to be a question but there are no question marks. Is there a reason for this; I am wondering if it is because it is rhetorical?
Saludos

In question #1 where it says we are and the continuing form of the verb, I used estar + continuing form of verb and it was wrong. But in question #6, it is the same questions and I used estar + continuing form of the verb and the answer was right. What is the difference?
This is an interesting construction. is there a lesson that deals with it?
It would seem to me that 'a su madre' should be after ve. could K say ... ve a su madre llegar?
Hola Inma y equipo,
As part of the 'All related grammar and vocab' list for this exercise, would I be right in saying that Inma's excellent lesson, that I've included here, should also be listed?
Using tener + participio to express the completion of an action (perífrasis verbal).
Gracias

The second time she says "guía" she pronounces it "Este ría". Is this common, and is there a rule for when to do this? Thanks.
In the sentence:
La bruja le maldice todos los años. (The witch curses him every year)
I expected it to read "lo maldice" to say "to curse him" where "him" would be the direct object. Why is it le?
In the examples we have “llegar a casa”, “salgo de casa”, and there is also the expression “estoy en casa”. None of these expressions use articles. They also all use verbs of movement or location.
Do we ever use the definite article with “casa”, for example, to say “I’m going back to the house” by saying “Regreso a la casa”? Or does it change the English translation if we omit the definite article, that is, if we say “Regreso a casa” does it mean “I’m going back home”?
I know this is off topic but you use many rich examples that provoke questions.
When speaking of a location, such as the Canary Islands, would it not be the more permanent ser and not estar. I guess I don't have a clear understanding of the to verbs.
Hola Inma,
I' m a bit confused with the articles. Why not el Salvador Dalí era un pintor? In a lesson of yours I read:
El Quijote fue escrito por Miguel de Cervantes.
El señor López era muy valorado por todos los vecinos.
Te agradezco mucho tus respuestas muy útiles!
