Hi Inma, a suggestion, give an example with decir. Or would this be incorrect? E.g. Le dijo a ella. He told her. (She is affected in some way by him telling her). 

Are there any keyboard shortcuts to replay the audio?  It would be really helpful the just click something like "ctrl + spacebar" to hear the audio again.  Thanks.

Re: Mamá, ________ -Bien ¿y tú?  Mum, how are you? -Good, and you?

In a test I just did, for the above question, I added: "¿cómo está?" but it was marked wrong. 

I chose this, because in certain areas, children address their mother formally, so that is why I used the "formal" in this case.  i know it is not common, but the test did say, some or all may be correct.

Thank you for your attention to this,

Nicole

This was a really fun exercise for me...

My daughter and I spent last Christmas in Burgos, where all my father's family and ancestors are from. Whilst there we visited the beautiful cathedral and we saw Papamoscas! He certainly is a funny little man :) You do need either good eyesight or binoculars to see him as he is really high up! 

I have a Spanish grammar book that teaches this construction of the passive voice: ser + past participle + por... is this NOT correct? That same book does not mention using estar 

I don’t understand any of this at all, whatsoever. I’ve read it many, many times, including the comments. I know there is a difference between Spain Spanish and Latin American Spanish for has/have, but how can one differentiate between them? I am so lost. 

se encuentra en el sur de España, cerca del Mediterranean Sea - I wrote this for the first sentence “it is located at the south of Spain, near to the Mediterranean Sea”.  My questions are: is se encuentra accepted? And how do we know if we should write it as a name for Mediterranean Sea or as El mar Mediterráneo? And does qué exclamation sentences always in plural? Thanks

Hola,

I understand the sentence above but I am new to using a pronoun with the infinitive of the verb.  Is there a lesson that covers this topic?  For example, how would you say 'I have something to tell them/you (plural)/him'?

Gracias.

Saludos,

Colin
