When movement is involved - adónde / adonde ? In Question 5 of the Test I have just completed, we had to translate: "She came near to where I was sitting" by inserting the correct word in the gap here: "Ella se acercó ________ yo estaba sentada". It did look to me as if movement was involved, so I chose "... adónde …" [plus the others which carried the accent] … But I was wrong !
Admittedly, when I clicked on "Explain this", I noticed this example:
Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...
... which also involves movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !

Hello,
In this workout there is a sentence - 'I have a new couch' the spanish translation in the answer and the complete text at the end it 'tengo sofá nuevo', should it be 'tengo un sofá nuevo'? I did notice that the lessons recommended for this section did include the lesson for indefinite articles.
Thanks, but now my wife wants a new sofa :-(
Although the note on the question suggests the imperfect of Poder I think the translation should use the conditional, Podría rather than podía
Why is my answer wrong, I have used desde but the tense is marked wrong
I've = I have
so why not present perfect?
Hola Inma,
Me muy alegro que tú eres mi profesora. El nivel b2 no es muy fácil especialmente con respecto al modo subjuntivo y mi progreso es mucho más lenta que antes.

just want to thank you for all the free material. literally any grammar question i have is somewhere on this site. I've been using it silently for 2 years now
Los cuales las cuales en el hotel
Hola 😊
I translated the above as Cuando me encuentre las llaves. I was marked wrong, the answer is said to lack the "me". I think without the "me" they could be anybody's keys. Am I wrong?
Hola Inma,
I'm not familiar with this construction "Has (Hacer) de."
I have looked it up (WordReference) but can't reconcile the meanings that they provide, with the phrase in this exercise.
Can you help with it please?
Saludos
John
