In Milan it is raining
Kwizbot En Milán está lloviendo
You Está lloviendo en Milán
Why is my reply not OK?
and this one:
In the east, in Bari there's a storm
Kwizbot En el este, en Bari hay tormenta
You En el este, en Bari hay una tormenta
Questioin: Would it not be acceptable to use "una" here, since it's a manifestation and not a condition like cloudy?
i.e. there's a cloud: hay un nube; it's cloudy: está nublado (I know it strays a bit from the "hay" format, but it's the only example I can think of. )
Thank you.

I'm sure we all value the great work Inma, Silvia and the rest of the team do in answering all the questions we put to them on the Q&A Forum. I do. For me, this adds a lot to what makes Kwiziq such a valuable learning resource.
So, I think it would be a great idea to be able to add these replies to a seperate notebook. This would not only allow for revision, but also give me some reference to go every time I think, "Hmmm, I'm sure someone gave me a really useful answer on this already!"
hi, i read that this is a latin america lesson for a, en, por.
What would be the equivalent for spanish europe? i am a bit confused here.
and all 3 of them seems to be able to be used for time of the day, so does it mean we can choose any of it to use ?
thanks
Hola Inma,
Cociné esta comida la semana pasada y es aún mejor que se puede imaginar. La combinación de las verduras [pimientos rojas y verdes y tomates] en un caldo de pescado es perfecto para un día frío .... pero no te olvides al menos dos dientes de ajo. Las patatas terminan la textura del plato perfectamente. Tenemos la suerte tener pescaderías excelentes en nuestra región [de Irlanda] así que no es difícil comprar atún fresca.
Para información: El nombre inusual es de "Marmite" [de francés], que es una tipa de cacerola metálica con una tapa. "Marmitako" es lo que se llama en el país vasco. Además, en el oeste de Cantabria este plato se llama "Sorropotún," y en el este y en el centro de la costa, "Marmita." Todo el mundo debería probarlo. Saludos. John
Hi, did I miss the part where the botes explain the difference between when to use the a ending for me olvida instead of me olvido?
This seems like a useful phrase! A few questions...
• How common is it in Spanish?
• I guess we could just as easily use nouns like 'fracaso', 'dificultad' etc?
• It's similar to 'meet with success' in English of course, but would it be totally wrong to use 'con' in Spanish?
• And, does the noun usually carry the article? (conoce el éxito)
Saludos
I'm confused about the use of imperfect tense (éramos) in this sentence below, rather than preterite (fuimos). I understand the knocking on the door as a specific, completed action that took place at a specific point in time, which I understand as characteristic of preterite (We knocked on the door/It was us who knocked on the door.). I understand the use of imperfect to discuss ongoing, continuous actions, so I'm confused in this example, because a knock is not an ongoing action that continues over time. I'm sure I'm missing something in my understanding; I'd appreciate some advice! Gracias!
Éramos nosotros los que llamamos a la puerta.

Maybe just worth pointing out that in the sentences with "a" the preposition is used in two different ways:
- as a "normal" preposition, for example, indicating motion: "El partido al que fui"
- as a "personal a", where there is a direct object (Los cantantes a los que los fans adulaban) but where "a" is needed because the object is personal.
I think that's so, isn't it?
