Por qué en la primera oración “ que por qué”? 

Hi Inma,

I know that the answer for;

No voy a ir a esa fiesta, por si acaso ________ con David

is 'me encontrara' (not 'me encuentre') because it is subjunctive imperfect but is the future subjunctive not used in this case because the sentence is conditional?

Thank you

Preferir... que... just means: prefer... than... .Doesn't it?

Preferir... en vez de... means: prefer... rather than.... Why? I don't understand.

Thank you so much

Is "Todos mis amigos hacen las compras aquí"  a possible alternative to "Todos mis amigos compran aquí"?

Hola,

I just have a general suggestion for these listening exercises. 

When sentences are split in many parts I often forget what the first parts were and who or what actually the subject was. It would help immensely, if I could still see the first parts of the sentence, which I already solved, while I'm listening to the next part. Maybe you can think about introducing that at some time in the future.

Thanks!

In this example, "El dinero no es todo pero ayuda muchísimo" , I want to use  "sino que" since the rule states that "If we need a different conjugated verb in the second clause after sino, then we need to add "que" after sino."

I am a bit confused.

I came across a sentence in a book I was reading and it said, 

"ya no se sienten ganas de beber"

I understand "ganas" as a noun meaning that they are stating they do not have the "desire" to drink I think. 

Why is sentirse used instead of sentir when "ganas" is the direct object?

Thank you

Why in the following example is ser used? I thought that the estar form would be used because cheerful is a an emotion or feeling. Wouldn't this indicate that the group is "always cheerful"?

Ustedes ________ muy alegres.
