Spanish language Q&A Forum

"Hacía varios días que alguien me acosaba" means:

Someone was stalking me for several days.

I was stalked for several days by someone.

Someone had stalked me for several days.

None of these answer carry the sense of being in the time frame of the past the way the examples do, such as "someone had been stalking me for several days". In English, I don't think the 2nd or 3rd answer are functionally any different. The first one is the only one to partly give a sense that this is an ongoing thing, even though it doesn't give the same frame of reference. 

I suggest you change the available answers. 

Hola, 

Is there any way I can get help besides taking quizzes here to understand the difference between Estar and Ser uses?

How does one conjugate the present subjunctive?  

I just started B1 and am being tested on it already without having been introduced to it...?

Thanks!

As written in the title, it seems like they contradict themselves.

One of my lesson tests on Poder in the subjunctive asks, 

No dudo que vosotras ________ correr tan rápido como ellos.I have no doubt you can run as fast as them.(HINT: Conjugate "poder" in El Presente Subjuntivo.)

But why would you use the subjunctive here? No  dudo, I have no doubt, is an expression of certainty. Everywhere else that I have learned (my college course, spanishdict translation and google translation all use the indicative for No hay duda que..., and I figure this ought to be similar.

Good morning,

Could you please help me with the decision process for which tense to use for questions like:

- The journey was difficult.

- It was easy to learn the language.

Thank you very much!

Susan

Same question as Robert... can you please add an example in the lesson for "En quién"?  

Porque es usa viva no vive atras leyenda.  Tambien porque no permite juegos y partidos?
