Hola Inma,

Is the use of "ser" in this sentence to indicate where the carnival took place? It caught me out because "It was in Cádiz" sounded as if it was talking about the location (estar), rather than being about where the event happened. If so, I remembered that there is a specific lesson about this in Level A1 "Using Ser not Estar when talking about when / where something takes place." I'm not sure if my thinking is right.

If it is, would it be a good idea to include this lesson in the "All related grammar and vocal list?"

Saludos

Why is it strange that the man who was living off of her in Toledo isn't calling her back? Is it because he found some other woman for sex and money? I'm not getting the moral of this story. Why aren't her parents encouraging her to make better relationship decisions? Is this why she decided to forget her boyfriend? 

Should the 2nd example above not have read   ' you may well have been ill'  without the 'as' which would be said in different circumstances  e,g,  you may as well have been ill for all the good you did   ??

as he gets older, he gets more attractive

I am a bit upset at the fact that I changed my correct answer to an incorrect answer based on a hint given.   I just finished taking a quiz and the question was:  

Sus padres ________ bastante delgados.

Their parents are quite slim.

(HINT: Their parents have always been slim )

 I knew the answer was "son", however I changed it to "tienen" based on the hint given.  Imagine my dismay when I got the question wrong after knowing the correct answer and changing it because because of the hint.   

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

En la prueba de la lección es escrito:

"Vivo en un séptimo piso," 

¿Por qué no es "el séptimo"? 

Let me know how your experience is!

¡Ya me contarás cómo está tu experiencia!

Why do we say it in a way that we already know how the experience is when we are asking someone to let us know?

Shouldn't it be Quema calorías limpiando, not limpiado?
