False English to fit lesson________. Álvaro is working at a bar this summer.HINT: It refers to a decision made and arranged for the future
Álvaro va a trabajar en un bar este verano.

Sometimes the English is contrived to make a point in relation ta a specific lesson. These can be quite false. To say Alvaro is working in a bar this summer means it is now summer and that is what Alvaro is doing. If asked: "What is Alvaro going to be doing this summer?" the response could well be : " He's workking in a bar this summer" meaning that is what he is going to do.

Why not give the English as " Alvaro is going to work" OR " is going to be working in a bar this summer". ?. it is less artificial and makes much more sense. (And is less irrtating)

en & por when applied to transport

fui a malaga por/en avion

Do both of these work?

I always thought ´por´ was correct/more used?

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

about indirect object pronoun

Hola Inma,

"haciendo la vida más fácil al usuario" and "costará a los gobiernos millones de dólares".

I wonder if it would be wrong to say haciéndole la vida más fácil al usuario and les costará a los gobiernos millones de dólares, instead.

Saludos

What about with different reflexive pronouns?

Hola

If you wanted to say we like to run, would you still use 'gusta'? I.e. Nos gusta correr? and the same with Se gusta correr and Os gusta correr?

Gracias :)

Ningunas/os for nouns that are always pluralThe explanation of the use of ningunas/os seems to have changed. "The plurals ningunos and ningunas also exist, but they are quite rare and add an emphatic sense to the negation." I think it used to say that they are used for nouns that are always plural such as, las gafas. Did this change? Is the "always plural" usage still correct in addition to adding emphasis?
