Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi there! One of the quizzes asks for the correct phrase in the following sentence:

Las aceitunas ________ en septiembre. (The olives must be harvested in September.)

Would it not be possible to use "han de recolectar" here instead of "deben ser recolectadas"?

"In Spanish, nouns can be preceded by numbers."     Can the numbers be other places?

If they can would you give examples.    Sounds like all the numbers are   invariable  if below 199.    200 and above agree with noun that it is in front of.    And the agreement goes with the hundreds.

100 when  it becomes 101 the word for 100 becomes Ciento    Is it only ciento when working with nouns.    Say in general counting ciento also.    People are talking about a cienta.   Maybe does not happen.

Do we have link to learn about numbers?

Hello Kwiziq,

Is there a rule for when to use 'a la calle'? I think I know the difference between por/en la calle but this 'a la calle' caught me out.

Kind regards

Helpful maybe to think of salvo que, a no ser que, a menos que (and sin que) followed by subjunctive as implying a NOT. A conditional : Unless = If not.

Este video es muy informativo. Muchas gracias.

I tried to use SpanishDictionary to translate tender and it didn't see it as a Spanish word. However, DeepL translated it as "clothesline" when I included it with a list of words (probably a DeepL bug). It translated "tender la ropa" as "tending the clothes". DeepL doesn't translate tender to an english word either. Also, the speaker sounds like she is saying "pender la ropa". I don't hear the "T".

Can you help me with this?

¡Saludos a todo allá!

Hi, sometimes a blue pencil appears when I submit a question. What does it mean? Thanks, Shirley. 

One of the quiz questions was

The citizens choose a new president for the country.

Los cuidadanos _____ nuevo presidente para el pais.

The hint was conjugate elegir in el presente.

To make the sentence complete I typed "eligen un" for the blank, but my answer was wrong. It said the answer was "eligen". Some of the quiz questions require you to type 2 words (or more). How was I supposed to know that this specific question only wanted 1 word, which doesn't seem complete?
