Spanish language Q&A Forum

I keep getting these questions wrong and I think it’s down to not being able to differentiate between whether a word is an adjective or a noun. Is there any way to tell of a word is a noun or an adjective without knowing the direct translation for that word? 

'If Cristina had married him'  -  why is 'se hubiera casada' marked wrong?

Hello, this lesson states that "Notice how for these verbs, -i- becomes -y- in all forms."

But I think that it is more correct to say that "a Y is added to the stem in all forms".  Huir is an IR verb, so it's stem is HU, you aren't replacing an I.

Have I understood the lesson correctly?

In the test the question was: 

I become a vegetarian while my sister becomes a vegan. : Yo me hago vegetariana mientras mi hermana se haga vegana.

Shouldn't it be "mientras mi hermana se hace vegana"? Since mientras is used as "while" in this sentence?

Thanks much

Can you please explain when to use the future perfect vs the forms of deber in this lesson? Do they all mean the same thing or are there distinct use cases? 

Dear Kwizteam,

I noticed that this construction places a comma before 'que' but not before 'porque'.  In English, if the subordinate clause follows the independent clause, there is no comma.  In Spanish, does this depend on the type of subordinate conjunction used?

Regards.

I understand that No, Verdad are correct and taught in the lesson but is vale really wrong?

I translate this with "what would she be thinking when she made it", is that correct? What confuses me a bit is that "estaría" is used to describe events in the past but it is present here. This is still just a 'condicional simple', correct?

Elsewhere I found an example where "¿Qué estaría pensando ella?" is being translated with "what was she thinking?" Again, the past seems to be implied here.

Hi, Inma

I translated the sentence "it would be very difficult to determine it." into "sería difícil de definirlo", and the correct answer removed the "de".

But when I translated the sentence "that will be hard to forget for tango lovers" into "que será difícil olvidar para los amantes del tango." the correct answer asked me to add a "de" after "difícil". 

I'm so confused now.

Saludos

It is quite fascinating - and interesting - to learn some of the "nicknames" given to people who live in certain cities - here: Huesca > oscenses. A few of them cannot easily be guessed, such as Huelva > onubenses.
