Spanish language Q&A Forum

Why do we use the subjunctive here when something is unknown, but when we use 'aunque' it is the other way around?  By that, I mean that we only use the subjunctive when the information is shared and the indicative is used to introduce new information.

All the examples use an infinitive after "soler," but in the first test question, the verb following "soler" is conjugated. How do we know when to conjugate the verb after a conjugated "soler?"

Hello,

one of the sentences to be translated was: They were even better than in my dreams.

Why isn't it "mejores" here? "Eran aún mejores que en mis sueños."

Thanks!

Why is 'buena' used to describe the coffee as good? 'El café' is masculine so I don't understand why it wouldn't be 'El café colombiano...es muy bueno.'

Thanks in advance!

Are there more than 2 practice questions somewhere for each lesson? 

In this lesson, you have a note near the bottom saying literal translations from English to Spanish don't always work and to not say: "No puedo esperar a..." (I can't wait to...). I notice Shawn offered an option to say “no ver la hora de…”. But I haven’t found other standard or colloquial ways to say, in Spanish, “I can’t wait to…”. Can you help with that? Thanks!

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

Above the Q&A form is this statement: This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.  When I click to go to my notebook to do the short kwiz again I am not able to do the kwiz again. The opportunity never comes. There is a problem with the program.

Why isn’t this considered an action that started in the past and is still ongoing?

In the example, "We saw a very interesting film at the cinema", why isn't el Pretérito Indefinido used, i.e. "Vimos" instead of "Hemos visto"?   I would think that hemos visto would be used in the following case, "We have seen a very interesting film at the cinema". I can't tell which tense to use.
