I thought it had to be 'cuándo' - but I was incorrect !(A comment, not a question; I made a mistake in my translation, and I now see why I went wrong) >
I had to scratch my head a bit to see why there is no tilde in 'cuando' in the sentence [in the text]:
"Aún recuerdo cuando teníamos que revelar los carretes" [= I still remember when we had to develop rolls of film ...]
-- particularly after noticing the example: "No recuerdo cómo tomas el té ..." [= I can't remember how you take your tea ...] -- in: Difference between cómo and como in Spanish (with and without an accent)
I now realise that, in order to carry the tilde, the 'cuándo' or the 'cómo' must be part of an indirect question - which is indeed the case with the second example, but not the first.
Inma, Shui and Silvia - you do indeed provide us with interesting and useful exercises and explanations: Keep up the good work!
Hola,
I was wondering why "tambien" is not included in one of the ways of saying “also” in the following:
"Also, the current schedule makes it difficult to reconcile work and rest
Kwizbot Asimismo, el horario actual hace difícil conciliar el trabajo y el descanso
You También,"
Thank you. Nicole

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 ??
Hola Inma! Why we said para el ninos not por el ninos? I am still getting confused between both of them. Thank you!
From the lesson:
>There is no gender or number agreement for the adjective or the article, we always use the singular masculine form and the neutral article "lo".
But there's a quiz question for this lesson with the correct answer "de lo más atractiva". Which is correct?
I think that "deporte" in Latin American Spanish should be translated as: I don't play sports or I don't do sports.
Or, the word "deporte" should be substituted with "ejercicio."
"Mis padres se animaron con la visita de mis sobrinos." I don't understand why this is animarse. They aren't cheering themselves up, they're being cheered up by the visit of mis sobrinos.
Hello. Would the following be acceptable as translation?
"ya que su vida se refleja en cada uno de ellos"
