1) This is not pertaining specifically to this section, but
it brought up something that I have been noticing: that the “s” has a tendency
to be dropped, whether in real life, or songs, etc
I am French from Quebec, and in French,
the “s’s” are silent for the most part. I have a feeling Spanish is moving
towards that, whether acceptable grammaticaly, or not; by the powers that be J
My question is, what are the “rules” or guidelines for when
to make the “s” silent (or skipped).
2) Also, is there a rule where numbers would be written in
numerals or in script?
I wrote “cinco” but it was corrected to “5”
3) Also, Kwizbot added a semi-colon at the end of this
section, other times I put in a comma, and it strikes it, other times I don’t
and there’s a comma. Notwithstanding
that, it’s a bit difficult to know from the audio. (I’m not faulting that, just a note, but I
appreciate the fact that it’s noted, as that is a good way to learnJ)
I did a search on your site for lessons in “punctuation”
but didn’t find any. Could you direct me
to any?
Sorry about all these questions, these quizzes really get
me thinking, and I think that’s a good thing. J
Thank you for being there and your patience with us

In the question "Nosotros comemos a las dos en punto ...", using generally as the adverb, is the answer generamente or generalmente?
I don’t see the “imperfecto” conjugation available in the drop down list….what is the correct answer!
is there a rule if adjectives are before or after the noun?
Tengo dos hermosas hijas OR Tengo dos hijas hermosas?
In Spanish, the structure "Tan...como" is referred to as a "comparative structure".
What is the name of the structure that utilizes "Tan...que"?
A suggestion, add “Cuando plus subjunctive” to the title. It would be easier to search for a lesson on when to use the subj with cuando.

Hello,
Please would you point me to a lesson or explain briefly why "voy a comprarme" is used rather than "voy a comprar". Is it just clarification that I'm buying a house for me, rather than some random person, or is it absolutely needed?
Many Thanks
La Kwiziq FAQ me dice que puedo "kwiz" un tema tanto"s veces que quiero si está en mi "notebook." He encontrado que si toma un "kwiz" y lo falla, cuando quiero tomarlo otra vez dice "You took this Kwiz XXX hours, XX minutes ago.
This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.
Puedo hacer cliq en "my notebook" y encontrar la lección que quiero estudiar y kwiz más. Pero dice lo mismo al fondo - que ya he tomado el Kwiz y tengo que ir a mi notebook si quiera kwiz otra vez. Excepto ya estoy en mi notebook. ¿Qué pasa? ¡Gracias!
