1)
ine: and you have to pay for the ticket.
I wrote: y tu debes pagar el boleto.
but none of the answers gave this as a possible answer.
Is there something I'm missing as I thought it means: you must...(do something) as in:
b. have to (SpanishDict.com)
Ya sabes que debes ponerte la corbata para ir al colegio.
You know you have to wear your tie to go to school.
2)
Also in the same exercise:
Line: I would like to visit Medellín next year.
I wrote: Me gustaría visitar Medellín el año proximo.
But none of the answers take this verb into account, but go with the verb: Querer:
Quiero visitar Medellín el próximo año.
Would this not also be a way of saying "I'd like to go" or should the English have been: "I want to go" and that there is
possibly an error here?
Thank you,
Nicole
With the above question, "lo de" was said to be the answer. However, there is a conjugated verb in the clause afterward, "fue". Why isn;t the correct answer "lo de que"? With a conjugated verb, the explanation says to use "lo de que".
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"?
In this piece, the future events are expressed using ir, a, and the infinitive. My two-part question is whether, in the circumstances depicted in the piece, the simple future tense and/or the present tense could be used to express the future and under what circumstances each of the three choices is either indicated or preferred.
Muchas gracias de antemano.
Are there structural clues we can look for to determine whether "que" is meant to express a wish vs. disbelief or would it be contextual? I ask since sometimes the disbelief version can be followed by the subjunctive.

How do you use the above expression ,how is it conjugated? For example, how would I say " the situation got out of hand " ? Where does "alguien" come into it? Thank you
Hola,
I've noticed in this construction that desde is used at the end of the sentences, and within the middle of the construction it is not.
Trying to extend my learning with the following example
Llevaba cinco años sin fumar.
Could you say
Llevaba sin fumar desde 2015
Llevaba sin fumar desde hace cinco años
?
I'm thinking in terms of the construction when there is a specific date in mind (2015), compared to the 'ongoing' desde hace without a specific date.
Gracias,
Apropos of ' "Lo que" vs "la cosa que" ', I sometimes see "cosa que" used to mean "which", as in
Querían detenerme por robo, cosa que no hice.
Is this usage correct? If so, is there a lesson that discusses it?
