My mother has an unusual mobile phoneHello:
in the exercise at: https://spanish.kwiziq.com/my-languages/spanish/exercises/judge/314/481235?response=57969&page=8
sentence: My mother uses her mobile phone to make calls and send texts
Spanish: Mi madre usa el teléfono móvil para hacer llamadas o mandar mensajes.
The exercise says: "and", but the translation is: "o"
i.e.: and send texts.
Kwizbot: o enviar mensajes.
You: y enviar texto
Why is the translation "o" 9meaning "or" 0 instead of "y" meaning and as per the text?
Is there an error here, if so what lesson would answer this?
Thank you, Nicole
In the sentence:Ellas a luz a unos gemelos preciosos. (They gave birth to beautiful twins),
1) does "ellas" indicate 'several women gave birth to several sets of twins'?
2) If a married couple had A set of twins, would that be ' ellOs a luz a un gemelo precioso?, Or does 'a luz' literally only refer to the mother who gives birth?
Thanks
The question
________ a vuestra pregunta.I am answering your question.HINT: Conjugate "contestar" in El Presente Continuo.
I understand the answer Estoy contestando buy why is the preposition "a" included in the original sentence. "Vuestra pregunta" is not a person. Estoy contestando a vuestra amiga
In the examples of "¿Quién prepara la fiesta a Sofía?" and "Nosotros les preparamos la cena a nuestros invitados."
Why use 'a' instead of 'para' (for) or 'por' (on behalf of)?

I love this article! I spent over two years in the ROP and I loved the people! I think an article on how Spanish affected the major indigenous language Tagalog would be fascinating. For example the Tagalog greeting "Komo staka" is very close to Como esta and the term for very good "may sarap" is from muey sabroso. (My spelling of Tagalog words are probably wrong.) I also remember that the word for stop in Tagalog is "parar". I know that during my time of the ROP I never heard anyone speak in Spanish. I only wish that I had known some Spanish back then (circa 1977-1980). It certainly would have helped me to learn more Tagalog phrases.
How would you write “My leg and knee hurt”? It seems like I could write it “Me duele la pierna y la rodilla”, but not “Me duelen la pierna y la rodilla." Are either of those correct?

In the sentence: my girlfriend says that you will be worth it. Why would you use valdrás, instead of valdrá la pena? You are not valuing it, you are just worth it.

I was reading the questions from "Papi" and did not see a reply for his last question of 13 January 2019.
Is there a reply somewhere? I was surprised not to see it here.
This topic is so very confusing, and I hope there will be more lessons/exercices for this topic. Thank you.
