Spanish language Q&A Forum

Disregard my Why preguntar question. Sorry.

I don’t understand what info is being asked for here. Is it if she is willing to meet the parents? 

Thank you, Shirley. 

No se puede viajar a ese país hasta que ________ seguro.

I don't understand why this sentence is translated as ... ('we' can't travel). Wouldn't it be podemos for *we* ? I thought *puede* was singular for he/her/it

I also don't understand why the answer is *sea* and not *se*

Can someone please explain.

Hola Inma & Shui,

Just to let you know that the B2 Writing Exercise in the latest Weekend Workout isn't available.

B2 How to make a good homemade wine

Gracias y saludos

Also, would "va a darte" also be correct?

I do not have a Spanish keyboard so cannot put in the accents

I don't understand why the imperfect "Teníamos que llevar" is used and not the preterite. After studying again when to use imperfect, it would seem that this sentence is " We used to have to wear" or "We were having to wear", whereas "We had to wear" would be "Tuvimos que llevar".  I can't see how the phrase "We had to wear protective hats" suggests it is ongoing and not completed. Obviously I'm wrong but I don't get it.

"Alfredo se quedó tan sorprendido que se puso pálido"

Por qué no es "se puso tan sorprendido"? En la explicación de grammática 'Using convertirse en / ponerse / hacerse / quedarse´, se dice que se debería usar ´quedar´ por los cambios permenantes, y poner por los temporales.
