why ”queria” (imperfekto)? It’s not a habit. Shouldn’t it be ”quise” (preterito)?

It’s man speaking. He says ”mi novio”. Shouldn't he say "mi novia" (unless he is gay of course)?

Le encantó su sorpresa! ?? I would expect "Me encantó su sorpresa" ??

Hola Inma:

Are these phrases interchangeable?

         Lo+ Adv/Adj + que + verb

         Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj

Let's use test question #3 for these purposes:

         "¡____ es ese monumento!"

Of course the correct answer is:

          "¡Lo feo que es ese             monumento!"

With regard to this structure (Lo+ Adv/Adj + que + verb) the lesson states it is used to express surprise/admiration/disappointment about how something/someone performs an action or about what someone/something is like.

 The lesson for the structure (Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj) states that it is used to ASK about the degree or extent of a specific quality. Yet one of the example is not a question:

 "Carlos, muéstrale a Valentina qué tan bien bailas merengue." The phrase is being used in regard to a "specific quality," i.e., "... how well... ."

Question:for these purposes,  is not ugliness a specific quality. (a) if so, could we not also use the structure (Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj): ¡Qué tan feo  es ese monumento! Thank you in advance.

Entender means understand, but in this example: Ella entiende de arte. - means: She knows about art. Why?

Thank you so much!

Also, when the subjunctive is used is it always part of the cuando clause?

How do you write the filling sentence using Ser format? The friends of Arkansas.

How does one conjugate the present subjunctive?  

I just started B1 and am being tested on it already without having been introduced to it...?

Thanks!

Hi, the question is "Which of the following expressions are followed by the subjunctive?"

And the options are: Tememos que , Es incierto que, Es verdad que,Es cierto que.

I say confusing becasue in fact all 4 can be use with subjunctive but just becasue not all answers fall in doubt or uncertain, the system marked me wrong. Maybe you can consider changing the options?
