Hi there, In English it would be ‘rims of the glasses’ not ‘rim of the glasses’. The sentence you have written for translation uses the singular, which is incorrect. Rims would be in the plural, not singular. In Spanish it appears the singular is used not the plural ‘frota el borde de los vasos’. Is this correct?
When talking about unknown information, use cuándo.
When talking about known information, use cuando.
Will this always work?
Thanks.

Is it possible to tell whether something is more or less probable without a context?
e.g the test question which translates as ' write down the address in case you forget'
Not quite sure of the English in the translation - at the bottom a drawer in the chest of drawers.
Do you mean - in the bottom draw of the chest of drawers?
Hola,
Is it possible to convert this structure into the past tense, as if I was telling a story in the continuous past:
Hacía tres meses que Nuria vivía en California.
Or does this structure only work in the present?
Gracias,
Stuart
ıs that wrong sentence? why don't we say 'hay demasiadas frutas en la nevera'.?
because fruit is countable.ı think we should use 'many ' for countable and in spanish many is damasiada.
Un hecho -
Comó yo mientras Alberto nadó.
pero no??
Comó yo conforme Alberto nadó.
"Hacía varios días que alguien me acosaba" means:
Someone was stalking me for several days.
I was stalked for several days by someone.
Someone had stalked me for several days.
None of these answer carry the sense of being in the time frame of the past the way the examples do, such as "someone had been stalking me for several days". In English, I don't think the 2nd or 3rd answer are functionally any different. The first one is the only one to partly give a sense that this is an ongoing thing, even though it doesn't give the same frame of reference.
I suggest you change the available answers.
