and he suffered many storms during his journey.

HINT: journey = travesía.

Kwizbot                 y sufrió muchas tormentas durante su travesía.

You                        y sufraba muchas tormentas a través de su travesía .

Hello, 

I was wondering why the preterit is used here and not the imperfect?  I would have thought that these  storms occurred throughout his journey, therefore the imperfect would be used?  

Thank you for your help in clarifying  this and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Wishing you the best New Year ever!

Do I understand correctly that this sentence implies that it took today or even a short time ago?

Kwiziq question:

Los niños iban juntos ________ la playa.

a and para are correct

hasta is incorrect

I've seen hasta used with desde to mean 'from/to' (trains etc). And I'm sure I've seen hasta used on its own to mean 'to'. Can someone explain why it's incorrect in this case?

Saludos

HI,

Is there a rule governing the pronunciation of 'v' in Spanish?

Thanks.

En esta lección Yo pienso que hay un ejemplo de una pronunciación que no está correcta. Este ejemplo sigue: Suelo ir a natación todas las semanas. Específicamente es la palabra "todas". Por favor escucha esta palabra Y dígame si es correcto.

Hi!

I think if the English was restructured for a few of the examples, the distinction between haber/tener would be clearer. Essentially the past participle would be moved towards the end of the sentence while placing the object after have/has.

For example: You have two rooms painted. Marta and I have a trip to Egypt planned.

Thanks!

I don’t see the “imperfecto” conjugation available in the drop down list….what is the correct answer!

can you use cuanto antes for as soon as possible in the last sentence?
