Spanish language Q&A Forum

Just wondering, why is it muchas veces (as opposed to muchos veces - I thought masc. was the default)? Is it to match with nosotras? 

Thanks in advance! :)

The construction "... te permitirá conocer personas" reminded me that the personal "a" is inserted only if the object of the verb is a known human being - specifically identified .. Thank you !

[I am sure this is mentioned somewhere in one of your lessons, is it?]

The article mentions a 'hot air ballon', it should be 'hot air balloon' with double 'o'.

When talking about unknown information, use cuándo.

When talking about known information, use cuando.

Will this always work?

Thanks.

Falta la DE, ¿no?

It seems I need to add more detail, so:

The drop-down menu for this question on forming the plural of nouns that end in -e gives four possible answers, none of which includes “de” after “especies”.

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?"

In a quiz the question:  How would you say "His name is Alan"?     was marked incorrect when I answered: Te llamas Alan.  It looks like this is correct. Am I missing something_

in one of the examples,

Verás, el chico se va a enfadar y va a coger y le va a dar un puñetazo.

You'll see, the guy is going to get cross and he's going to go and give him a punch.

where does 'se va + a' comes from? is this irse with other meanings?

Could you direct me to the appropriate lesson?

thanks

Hola todos

So I can have a better understanding of this subtle distinction between these 3 conjunctions (pero/sino/sino que), can you please confirm if I'm correct in these following 3 examples which all share the same 1st clause: 

SINO >>> El médico no me recetó un jarabe __sino__ unas pastillas. (Because simple SUBSTITUTION ) 

PERO >>> El médico no me recetó un jarabe __pero__ con la condición que lo vea la próxima semana para una revisión. (Because MAKING A LIMITATION to the 1st clause) 

SINO QUE >>> El médico no me recetó un jarabe __sino que __ me dijo que necesité una operación . (Because DIFFERENT CONJUGATED VERB IN 2ND CLAUSE) 

Hopefully this can clarify these nuances in my head once and for all! 

Saldudos y gracias,   ~Oscar :) 

Es lo mismo igual que/ tan como, se asemejan y se pueden utilizar.

Tan rojas como las cerezas/ rojas igualnque las cerezas, es el mismo significado, e. El mismo tiempo.
