Spanish language Q&A Forum

In the quiz question A veces ________ que llevamos casados 20 años. I selected the response “se me olvido” which was incorrect — but I’m not sure why, even after reviewing the lesson. I have a couple guesses, but could you help me understand why it doesn’t work?

Please explain why it was necessary to insert "los" before ojos azules. I have trouble understanding when articles (both definite and indefinite) can be omitted and when they are required in written (and spoken for that matter) Spanish.

Thank you,

Hola Inma,

I'm not familiar with this construction "Has (Hacer) de."

I have looked it up (WordReference) but can't reconcile the meanings that they provide, with the phrase in this exercise.

Can you help with it please?

Saludos

"Espero que nos den asiento en una mesa cerca de la ventana"

Please can you explain why here, 'I hope that the give us SEAT on a table close to the window'   Is this a nuance in Spanish?
Thanks

Me alegra que ellos sean los primeros. 

Why is this subjunctive? Is it because it comes after "que"? This sentence doesn't seem to express any doubt about their being the first. 

Could I say "me alegra que ser el primero?" if I were talking about myself or would I have to write "me alegra que yo sea el primero"? 

Why does changing g to j preserve the infinitive pronunciation?

Hello,

If I'd to say: "His name is Francisco, but we call him Paco", would it be right to say: "Se llama Francisco pero nosotros se llamamos Paco"?

All these verbs are present tense + present subjunctive. Can I use the same construction with the conditional, in those cases where we are “softening” a request?

Such as: “Yo prefería que regreses más pronto.” 

Or does that need a different structure? Thank you!

Sorry, i found the answer in the lesson.

I created about 24 personal notebooks, But in the pull-down Notebook window I can only see the first 20. Is there a way to see my other notebooks? Are we limited to 20 Notebooks each?
