This might be way off base, but while "I" (or "yo") is the most common personal pronoun in most all languages, when one combines "it", "he", "she" and "este" etc followed by nouns, the third person singular is the most commonly used conjugation. In Kwiziq quizzes and exercises, it seems that "yo" and "tu" are the ones that show up most often. The exercises would be better if they had a proportional focus on the pronouns/conjugations in line with how frequently they are used in real life.
The test question was to conjugate maldecir into the "they" form but no explanation of how to do so was given, only for "decir" ("dicen"). But maldecir does not follow the same rule as "decir" it seem because the correct conjugation was shown to be "maldicen" (and not "maldecen," which would match the "decir" pattern). Why is there a difference in the conjugation pattern between decir and maldecir? Is there a rule to be learned? Thanks!
Could this be desde hace in this sentence
It says ' Do you prefer to wait sitting or standing' and I had to fill in the gap for prefer/preferir.
' Usted prefiere esperar de pie o sentado?'
I don't understand how prefiere is the answer and not prefieres
Tal mujer! Yo amo su sentido del humor!
Why is "pasar" shown to mean "have" when English speakers just as often say "to spend?" Wouldn't it be truer to the Spanish to say it means "to spend?" Also, that will help me learn the actual meaning of "pasar." To say it means "have" I would think may sow some confusion.
Luis y yo no hemos roto ________ nos hemos dado un tiempo para pensar.
Luis and I haven't broken up but we gave each other some time to think.
I don't understand why this sentence doesn't use pero. Doesn't it make a contrast or limitation to the idea expressed in the previous clause?
The quiz translated this as "She is looking forward to starting her trip to Honduras." Wouldn't that be "Ella está deseando empezar su viaje a Honduras."?
"El viernes tocamos la guitarra," but "Mi padre come pescado LOS viernes".
I can't see the difference here?
