Be more specific with explanationSpanish verbs ending in -gar replace the -g- with a -gu- in El Presente de Subjuntivo in Spanish. This is to preserve the sound from the infinitive.

Hi, a suggestion: “This is to preserve the hard G sound from the infinitive”. (The Spanish G sounds like the jota when it comes before an E or and I: G+E: gente (people), recoger (to collect), alegra (happy) G+I: digital (digital), girasol (sunflower), elegir (to choose)).

Why is 'La personal hizo' not accepted as the right answer?

Unfortunately for me, I keep answering La instead of El and my score for the lesson is melting down.

Micro Kwiz

I don't understand why there is a lesson that seems to be about the nuances between the indefinite and the perfect, but for the kwiz both tenses are accepted. What exactly are we supposed to learn here?

ser and estar to talk about days, months, seasons..

Your approach to address this subject is confusing. Please consider rewriting the teaching or add a new teaching in ONE lesson addressing all possibilities. Include all possible questions and answers about what date,day, month, year etc.

Question about subjunctive

Hello, there is a section called "Variable Subjunctive" that has the sentence:

no tengo un profesor que viva en madrid

which means:

I don't have a teacher that lives in madrid.

My question is why would this be a subjunctive, it seems like what this person is saying is a fact that he knows that he doesn't have a teacher that lives in madrid. Or maybe he's trying to say that he doesn't have a teacher that he KNOWS OF. Idk I just want to know why it's a subjunctive. thank you

How to make it clear that you have done a beauty treatment on yourself Many people manicure their own nails, do a facial / other beauty treatments at home. What is the correct way to convey this without any ambiguity? For example, would you say "Anoche yo misma me hice una manicura en casa"?

Comma question

In the sentence "Al calentar la leche me quemé" I feel like in English we would use a comma between 'leche' and 'me' to separate the two clauses. Is this not the case in Spanish? (I might have it wrong in English.)
