A very interesting exercise...

Esto me hizo reír...

¡Tantos tamaños diferentes y todo depende de donde estés! Me da igual porque no me gusta la cerveza, jajaja. Me pregunto, ¿Es así con el vino? Espero que no! El vino es mi bebida favorita...una copa de tinto, pero nunca querría un litro! :))

Gracias por este ejercicio informativo.

Possible to add the imperative tú form to this verb list?

Since this is a vocabulary listing of "Irregular verbs with a short imperative tú form" could the imperative form be added in brackets, since one can't tell the shortened versions from the verbs themselves. Just a thought. :)

"Estarás mejor en unos días".

Hola Inma,

Please could you advise me?

When speaking casually as in the conversation here, is it generally more common to use 'estar' than 'sentir' regarding 'to feel'?

Gracias :)

The "Tip" is wrong

In the Tip it says that the above este etc can be used as demonstrative pronouns. This is not quite correct as demonstrative pronouns are éste ,ésta, They have a hyphen above the e . Where as esto is similar in both cases

Ser or Estar

Hello, please would you explain why the verb SER is used in the sentence "la comida del restaurante era mala". I'm confused which rule is used to trigger SER rather than ESTAR,

Thanks

almost not understandable

Well, I guess if that's how they speak in Argentina, I won't be visiing there soon, if ever. Apart from the yeismo, the speaker articulated more through her nose than through the mouth (French-style) making her words almost impossible to understand. Good, clear Spanish is my aim.

"Susana nos habia pedido..."?

Shouldn't "Susana nos habia pedido..." translates not as "Susana has asked us...", but rather "Susana had asked us..."?
