Hello! I always get mixed up on when to use unos vs algunos vs varios. Can you either give a super-quick review or point me to a resource that contrasts these forms? Thanks so much!
can you explain why, even though we're talking about a female, we would say "trabajas duro"? Gracias!
The test asked to translate "I like white wine" to Spanish, but indicated "Me gusta el vino blanco" was the correct answer. The English sentence seemed unspecific to me, as though the speaker was making a general statement about a category of wine they liked. To add an article seems to imply the speaker likes a specific kind of wine ("I like the white wine"). Is this the same implication in Spanish? Could one say "me gusta vino blanco"? Or is an article always required, and unspecific preferences would require "un/una"?
Thank you.
If estar is to be used with a location, why use ser to discuss where one is from?
I would translate quería as I wanted or was wanting. Thank you.
In an A1 writing exercise about ordering at a restaurant, I encountered the phrase "How can I help you?" with the hint "Lit. What do you wish?" I was not prepared with an answer so I learned a new phrase!
Are the phrases interchangeable?
Thank you,

llevar and tomar mean ¨take¨, are they the same?
I’m not quite clear about the use of the ‘se tardan’ plural. The examples given are with a plural number of hours/minutes. Are the time units the ‘subject’ of the passive? In other words if the time was one hour or one minute, could you still use the plural verb? Or is there some other rule that indicates singular or plural? Or are they just equivalent?
