Spanish language Q&A Forum

may i summarise and say that igual de... que is used for non quantity or another way, quality comparisons only? for example, we can use tanto... como for 'tiene tanto dinero como yo', but we cant use it with igual de. non quantity or quality comparisons which are adjectives, adverbs.

I put argentina nacional instead of nacional argentina. Can't the adjective go after the noun here or does it have to be before it? Thanks.

Re: Exercise: Spanish dictation exercise

SOPHIA OF GREECE AND DENMARK (A1)

Line: Doña Sofía habla 5 idiomas;

1) This is not pertaining specifically to this section, but it brought up something that I have been noticing: that the “s” has a tendency to be dropped, whether in real life, or songs, etc

      I am French from Quebec, and in French, the “s’s” are silent for the most part. I have a feeling Spanish is moving towards that, whether acceptable grammaticaly, or not; by the powers that be J

My question is, what are the “rules” or guidelines for when to make the “s” silent (or skipped).

2) Also, is there a rule where numbers would be written in numerals or in script?

I wrote “cinco” but it was corrected to “5”

3) Also, Kwizbot added a semi-colon at the end of this section, other times I put in a comma, and it strikes it, other times I don’t and there’s a comma.  Notwithstanding that, it’s a bit difficult to know from the audio.  (I’m not faulting that, just a note, but I appreciate the fact that it’s noted, as that is a good way to learnJ)

I did a search on your site for lessons in “punctuation” but didn’t find any.  Could you direct me to any?

Sorry about all these questions, these quizzes really get me thinking, and I think that’s a good thing. J

Thank you for being there and your patience with us learnersJ

This lesson is too long and too confusing. It should be broken up into 6 separate lessons to allow to handle one meaning at a time.

Why does árabe have two accent marks?

¿Se usa "nosotros" para decir "today is ..." en todo el mundo hispano, o solo en españa?

Hola Inma,

is there a difference between proceso y procedimiento or these words are interchangeable? 

Muchas gracias!

This is the example from the lesson as for when to use convertirse ... yet in the test ...

Ella ________ famosa después del anuncio de la tele.

Here the correct answer is given as se hizo? Both are about becoming famous so what is the difference?

???

It might be worth mentioning in Kwiziq's lesson Ya sea/ya fuera... o... to express whether... or... - [number 8284] that verbs [usually?] take the subjunctive when they are governed directly by "ya sea (que)..."
