Spanish language Q&A Forum

Please correct the English in these (and other) exercises. Native speakers of English would not say something is "different to". We say, it is "different from". 

E.g., English is different from Spanish in that we use the apostrophe to show the possessive

In the question:

"____  vamos envejeciendo, nos van importando menos las cosas banales."

I see that conforme works, but why not "Cuánto más"? Is it that the "menos" should be in front? As:

"Cuánto más vamos envejeciendo, menos nos van importando las cosas banales."

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.

If definite articles are used on the subject of a sentence, why are they used with ríos and vegetación? Isn't the subject of the sentence acid rain? If a word that  receives  the action of the verb (contaminar) is the object , doesn't that make ríos and vegetación objects not subjects? 

I think I've reached the limit of all my understanding of grammar in both Spanish and English. I can't get this right. I'm ready to quit.

Hi, Inma

I translated the sentence "it would be very difficult to determine it." into "sería difícil de definirlo", and the correct answer removed the "de".

But when I translated the sentence "that will be hard to forget for tango lovers" into "que será difícil olvidar para los amantes del tango." the correct answer asked me to add a "de" after "difícil". 

I'm so confused now.

Saludos

Puede explicar con mas detalle cuando se usa el preterito imperfecto y cuando se usa el preterito perfecto, por favor?

Hola, 

Just wanna clarify the translated answer for "I almost fainted". The correct answer given in the exercise is "¡Casi me desmayé!". On the lesson on 'Using por poco/casi/un poco más y + present tense for nearly/almost', says the verb should be conjugated in El Presente so my answer was "Casi me desmayo" which was marked as incorrect. Are there other considerations we should note with this construction?

Thanks,
