Spanish language Q&A Forum

Should I add "estar + gerund" to list of verbs that act like Gustar? 

I don't understand.

Can the speaker say, ¨Ojalá aprueba el examen¨

or does he have to say it the other way, ¨Espero aprobar el examen.¨

Thanks.

Hi,

Just wanted to share a thought as a person using this platform to learn Spanish. At the end of the exercise when you show the whole text in Spanish, I feel like it would be helpful if you showed the entire text in English as well, as it would help in trying to look back at how you translated everything as a whole. 

In Question 5 of the Test I have just completed, we had to translate: "She came near to where I was sitting" by inserting the correct word in the gap here: "Ella se acercó ________ yo estaba sentada". It did look to me as if movement was involved, so I chose "... adónde …" [plus the others which carried the accent] … But I was wrong !

Admittedly, when I clicked on "Explain this", I noticed this example:

Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...

... which also involves movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !

Thank You Inma ! ]

If it is dependent on the speaker then how do you test students if they understand it? 

Hola Inma,

I couldn't find the link for the lesson you referred to in your reply, despite doing a search here.

"Do we use "iba" to show intention?"

Could you please give me the link.  And Happy New Year!

Thank you,

Nicole

Hi.  Please tell me about the use of "al dar" for a time.  Thanks.
