Is it incorrect to not use the contraction in Spanish. Whereas, in English, it is NOT incorrect to not use the contraction. For example, "do not" is as acceptable as "don't." Is "a el" acceptable, or incorrect? Thank you.
The context seems like “i had written” which would be “había escrito” (?).
Muchas gracias

We would be wrong with you.
I would say "We would be wrong about you."
This recommends "estudiando violin" but "tocar el violin." I don't understand the rule for when to use the definite article.
Good topic. I hear these constructions a lot from my Mexican friends. Even in dance class the instructor used to say "¿Sale?" after teaching a new step.
I find that in general they use inverted constructions a lot in Mexico.
How would we put these constructions into question form? For example, could we ask "¿Cómo te sale?" to ask how something turned out?
I love this idiom...'media naranja' for 'soulmate'!
I'm confused by the English translation: (I didn't have any chewing gum in my pocket.) for No llevaba ningún chicle en el bosillo.
Question: Why is this not "No tenía ningún ...?
The translation I remember of llevar from an earlier lesson is to take.
Am I wrong here? Please clarify.

Here's the -iar verb list:
