Spanish language Q&A Forum

In this lesson, you have a note near the bottom saying literal translations from English to Spanish don't always work and to not say: "No puedo esperar a..." (I can't wait to...). I notice Shawn offered an option to say “no ver la hora de…”. But I haven’t found other standard or colloquial ways to say, in Spanish, “I can’t wait to…”. Can you help with that? Thanks!

When, if ever, should todo (a,os,as) be followed by the preposition "de"?

Buenas team,

Just to confirm - we say: me gusta el chocolate, and we also say me gusta comer chocolate?

We don't say me gusta comer el chocolate?

The definite article is always removed when we have the verb there?

Muchisimas gracias,

Hola!

Espero que la Navidad haya sido muy especial y que el año nuevo también sea muy especial para usted y para todos en el equipo.

1st Section: 

It reminds me of the King Cake

Kwizbot           Me recuerda al roscón de reyes
You                  Lo me recuerdo del roscón de reyes.

I was wondering

1)why is the direct object not used here,

2) and what is the rule and lesson for understanding why “recuerda” and not “recuerdo”.  I had a thought that it might be similar to “me gusta”…

3) why the use of “al” and not of “del”

2nd section: 

Question:

Why is ser is used and not estar:

because its shape is similar

Kwizbot           porque su forma es similar/  parecida

You                  porque su forma está similar

Muchas gracias,

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   ??
