Hola Inma,

The sentence given was "resultados terapéuticos en el dolor de estómago, cuello, espalda y pierna." In the A2 "Everything hurts!" exercise for this week there was a sentence "También, tengo dolor de estómago y de pies," where the "de" was repeated. I rationalised this as being way of saying that I have pain from / of stomach and from / of feet. I can't understand why the "de" isn't repeated in the example above from this B1 exercise.

Can you help please

Saludos

I get this message even after I click around for awhile:

You took this Kwiz 16 minutes ago.

This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.

However e > i verbs are different as they keep the e > i change all they way through their conjugation in El Presente de Subjuntivo.

I am curious of the "la he" / "las he" used in a few examples. In what lesson is that discussed? Thank you.

Could this be desde hace in this sentence

When do you use por in sentences and not para

Like Alan, I was puzzled by the use of the subjunctive in some of your examples, particularly this one:

"Coge un par de plátanos, los que estén más maduros" - because to me it seemed that the speaker had indeed noticed that some of the bananas were riper than others. Maybe it makes sense, though, if s/he had not yet seen them - but in this latter case s/he would probably have said: "Coge un par de plátanos, preferentemente dos que estén más maduros" - [is that correct?] 

I can understand the use of the subjunctive when it is referring to the future - e.g., your sentence-example which begins: Quienes lleguen… [because it is not yet known who will reach the top first].
 

Hello!

When using phrases like, "The boy is still little." or "The girl is not little any more.", would one use a form of estar, or would a form or ser be used? Thank you for your help.

Hello,

I was trying to write this sentence and couldn't figure out which would be the correct way to express what I was trying to say.

English:

"I discovered a very interesting site in my search to understand the word "echar de menos" and I thought it might be interesting to you/of interest to you. "

These are the various Spanish sentences I came up, and I couldn't figure out which one to use and which one(s) are correct and why... :(

Here are my sentences:

Descubrí un sitio muy interesante en mi búsqueda para entender la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que podría ser interesante para tí.

or:

He descubrí un sitio muy interesante en mi buscando de la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que te puedas ser interesante.

or:

He descubierto un sitio muy interesante en mi búsqueda para entender la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que podría ser interesante para ti.

or:

He descubierto un sitio muy interesante en mi búsqueda para entender la palabra "echar de menos" y pensé que pudieras ser interesante para ti.

Thank you for any help in clarifying this and helping me through this morass.
