Spanish language Q&A Forum

I do not have to water them often,

Kwizbot           no debo regarlas
You                  no necesito darlas agua

I’d like to know if my reply  is good /correct Spanish or is it not the way this would usually be said.  (I don't mean whether it would  be understood, but is this the only way to say this, or can it be said other ways?)

Hope you had a muy Feliz Navidad and wishing you a wonderful New Year! 

Thanks you.

Hola,

Does this construction have the same meaning as Por mí que... or does it mean something else?  It also looks like it takes the indicative rather than the subjunctive though.  For example:

Por mí como si te atragantas con la magdalena.

Dying one's hair is something which maybe be done oneself or by professionals. Am I to understand that the construction of a sentence about hair dye is the same regardless of whether one does it to oneself or has it done by professionals? Are we left to infer which is the case based on how good the resultant hair looks? 

I suppose this is similar in English wherein someone might observe "you cut your hair" as readily as "you got a haircut" but with rare exceptions (thinking of my brother circa age 4) intend to imply even in the first case that you yourself cut your own hair. 

Regarding this lesson, I do not understand how to choose the correct answer in the question when the lesson says that either gender can be used depending upon some vague circumstances. How can I, the speaker, determine which gender to use? This is a complete mystery to me. Please help.

Thank you, James

2nd paragraph: Is there a lesson that discusses "que" used to mean "to be?"

I searched on "que" and got 1620 hits, so I scanned the first 60 and did not see "que" and "to be" in any lesson title.

Hello and I hope you and yours and the team are all doing well.

Re: This lesson;|
Would it be safe to say that this comes under the umbrella of the "passive" and if not, why?

Thank you!
