Spanish language Q&A Forum

The construction "... te permitirá conocer personas" reminded me that the personal "a" is inserted only if the object of the verb is a known human being - specifically identified .. Thank you !

[I am sure this is mentioned somewhere in one of your lessons, is it?]

Hola Inma,

Solo quería saber, ¿De qué parte de España es el orador en este ejercicio?

He escuchado tantas veces la frase donde dice, 'tus relaciones' y sé que es 'tus', pero me parece que está diciendo 'tu'. Supongo que es debido a su acento, ¿no? 

¿O tal vez mis oídos son el problema?No estoy segura! ;))

Can you give advice/commands in Spanish with the conditional form of deber/tener que?

In this lesson I see:

If you like those earrings, you should buy them.

Si ellos son los responsables, deberían pagar.

If they are responsible, they should pay.

These are advice/commands. 

There is also the other lesson "Si [if] followed by present indicative + main clause [command/request/advise]".

What is the point then of this lesson?

A good, easy read, very well-narrated

“María’s family are happy” is given as the translation to “La familia de María está contenta”. 

This didn’t sound right to me so I googled and found this- https://style.mla.org/verbs-with-collective-nouns/

The reference would suggest that the translation should be ”María’s family is happy” as the members of the family are in agreement. 

Any comments would be helpful. Thank you. 

Hi, one of the weekend workout links is broken.

Thanks.

I have done two tests now where I have chosen "estaba imprimido", but it tells me I've chosen "estaba imprimiendo", so it is counted as an error.  I don't know why that is happening.  

Hola,

The third person plural form of the Present tense, (El Presente), and the Preterite tense, (El Preterito Indefinido), are identical for -ar verbs.

Since that is the case, may I suggest that there is a note about this in the lesson with a few examples to show how context can clarify which tense is being used? This would be very helpful. 

A simple chart comparing the present and past conjugations alongside each other of some common verbs such as 'trabajar' or 'hablar' would also be useful, especially for those learners who are very visual. 

Gracias y Saludos!

Do we have to use the personal a after prepositions? I have never seen this before.
