Need more clarityPast tenses are confusing and these lessons do not have enough of an explainer. In this Idefinite Past, I see:
Ella hizo una tarta para mi cumpleaños.She made a cake for my birthday.
But, under the Present Perfect lesson, I see:
He hecho un pastel de chocolate.I made a chocolate cake.
There is not enough information to distinguish between the two forms. I do not see the difference. "I made a cake" and "she made a cake" are identical in format, yet different. If both answers are correct- after all, there are often several ways to say the same thing, I think that needs to be reflected here if that is the case.
Can you explain?
Why do we need a comma after a mí? Wherever I have seen, it appears without any comma.
I both love and hate in equal measure that I woke up today to new lessons being posted!! I've been trying to get the elusive 100% for level A2 and then another sneaky lesson arrived. I know language learning is a never ending story, but....
Thanks kwiziq team :-)
Hola Inma,
Me muy alegro que tú eres mi profesora. El nivel b2 no es muy fácil especialmente con respecto al modo subjuntivo y mi progreso es mucho más lenta que antes.

Thankfully I do receive the weekend workouts by email, but my preferred method is to select from the Weekend Workouts page, especially for catching up. The last one listed was 20th May 2022 and it's now 10th July.

Will this be updated?
Thank you!
Hola,
Just to let you know that the hint here doesn't match the sentence.
_______ y le informaremos de todo.You just have to call us and we'll inform you about everything.HINT: echar un vistazo = to have a look
is “Fueron vacaciones fantásticas” ok or is it awkward in spanish? Muchas gracias! Shirley.
On all the other sites that I have read, you conjugate the verb in the correct tense when using desde. Can you please clarify this for me? I read in the comments that the tendency is to use the present tense, but why do none of the other sites say this?

Hello,
I found the following sentence in a Spanish grammar book that I am studying: “Por que es azul el cielo?”
I thought the sentence would be: “Por que el cielo es azul?”
What kind of rule does the first sentence fall under and how would I know when to structure my sentences like that? For example, would this only happen with questions?
Muchísimas gracias!
