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

Buenas tardes,
Solo quería decir que me gusta mucho el nuevo estilo y formato de Kwiziq.com. A mí me parece más claro y conciso. ¡Es genial!
Gracias a todos en el equipo :)
I bet you can't drive 100 miles per hour.
This is what all the sentences look like to choose an answer:
Me apuesto a que no puedes conducir a 100 mi....
The sentence is too long and I can't pass this kwiq because all the words don't show up. Please shorten the response to a phrase such as "100 millas por hora" instead of the entire sentence.
When to use definite articles. "No tenemos cerdos" (no article), but "Los cerdos son adorables" (article).
What's the difference?
Hi,
What is the gender rule for adjectives when describing two nouns of different gender? See sample phrase:
' con inversores y empresas muy poderosas...'
Does the adjective match the gender (and number) of the last noun?

What is the difference between:
ser + [noun]
and
ser un + [noun]
What is the use case for each?
Susana no credit que ya __________ (mentir) antes
Hi,
I got the following question in a test:
Tuvimos muy buenas experiencias en ________ juventud.
We had very good experiences in our youth.
(HINT: Choose the right word having in mind the ending of the noun)
The two possible answers were twice "nuestra", but one of them is marked wrong when chosen.
Why???
I just figured out why I'm missing all the "usted" questions. When I go study verb charts, none of them even list the formal, so I have incorrectly using the second person plural.
But why? I've been told that it's hardly used, and if they don't even include it in the conjugation charts, . . . Really?
