In this construction, can the "se" also go at the end of the infinitive, like this:

    No debe fumarse.

?

Thanks!

Hola Inma,

"se originó en la región de Río de la Plata" 

My answer was:

fue originado en la región de Río de la Plata. 

No entiendo la diferencia.  ¿Me podrías explicar?

Saludos

Hola Inma, I have been trying to work out why both direct and indirect objects are present here. 

I can't find a reference for a pronominal form of pensar, but on doing the exercise a second time, I noticed that the lesson for the se aspectual was listed as being relevant. Poder isn't given as one of the verbs that typically can take this construction, but does this explain why the reflexive pronoun is being used here, making the verb poder more "intense / complete" as explained in the example of "irse" in the lesson; .... or is there another explanation altogether. Espero que puedas ayudarme. Saludos. John

¿Tiene un bolígrafo?Do you have a pen? (formal you)

From the sentence, I think it means he/she has a pen. Why would it become do you have a pen?

There was a sentence about monuments that was asking me for which form of "arabe" that I should have used. I put "arabes" but it was marked wrong and it said that it should be arabe - is that correct and are there any more adjectives like this that are invariable in both the singular and plural?

"if you want a sweetie, eat your soup".  lol, to me, sweetie is sweetheart, or some other affectionate term. Sweet = caramelo. 

Hola!

Quiero saber si los personas mexicano dicen "j" para "ll" y "y" o es un "y" sonido? Vivo en California y quiero sonar mas natural para mi comunidad. Gracias por todo!

(Sorry if my Spanish is broken, I just restarted learning)

I have noticed in general that spanish speakers have different intonations at the end of sentences or part of sentences which confuse the listener and in dictations result in incorrect  punctuation. 

Hello,

It may be helpful to add "sobrante" as well as "enrollar" to the words to look up.

Thanks,

Kaly
