ıs that wrong sentence? why don't we say 'hay demasiadas frutas en la nevera'.?

because fruit is countable.ı think we should use 'many ' for countable and in spanish many is damasiada.

Hola,

Not sure I’ve seen it in the examples, but presumably when we are talking for instance, how long the trousers are, we would say...

Los pantalones miden 80 cms de largo

?

i.e. the verb (medir, etc) matches the noun, as per the usual rule.

Gracias,

Hola,

what about words that start with "hie-"? The o changes into u or not?

Está hecha de madera o/u hierro?

Muchas gracias

Ελισάβετ

one of the options was: quitarle importancia a los prooblemas. I can't undertand the le. Why not les, in order to correspond with the los problemas?

Muchas gracias !

¡Hola! ¿Por qué usamos el verbo "toques" aquí? ¿No debería usar "toca" si estamos dando un consejo (tú afirmativo)? Supongo que esto es porque estamos dando un comando negativo, es decir "nunca toques" significa el mismo que "no toques". ¿Es correcto? Si es así, creo que una lección correspondiente debería estar vinculada a la oración (Forming the Spanish imperative of tú/ vosotros/vosotras (negative commands)).

Tu tienes should be correct as it refers to you.     Tiene refers to he/she  

Hola Inma,

"se originó en la región de Río de la Plata" 

My answer was:

fue originado en la región de Río de la Plata. 

No entiendo la diferencia.  ¿Me podrías explicar?

Saludos

Using El Pretérito Imerfecto in the Gabriel example above seems incorrect/confusing to me, also. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the imperfect here indicate a general inability to do something, like Gabriel just didn't know how to put the key in the keyhole (incidentally, the sentence should read "key in the keyhole", "keyS in the keyholeS", or "key in the keyholeS" if a single key fits two locks), which seems highly unlikely? It seems to me that El Pretérito Indefinido is more appropriate because: Gabriel didn't manage/succeed in putting the key in the keyhole, and we are referring to a specific moment in the past and the time when it happened is relevant.

Should increíble also be on this list?
