Your second way to express things is numbered "1." instead of "2.".

Why is it igual and not iguales if it’s referring to 7 or 12 people?

Porque “..era un caballero medieval” pero “fue un héroe nacional..”

"Why did you tell Luisa......" seems to me to need the indefinite object pronoun as in "¿Por qué le habéis dicho a Luisa...." but this answer is marked as incorrect. Why? Isn't it actually the correct way to say this part of the sentence even though I haven't gotten to a lesson about these pronouns?

Hello, 

I am reading a fairly reputable bilingual version of Sherlock Holmes. On one sentence it says 'Iba vestido discretamente con un traje de mezclilla de lana....'

The translation (and my own reading of the context) suggests that this means 'He was discretely dressed....'

But if that's the case why have they used 'iba'? Is that incorrect? The man was not 'going to do' anything. He just 'was'. My searching online and using Google translate suggests that only estar (or possibly ser) in the past tense are valid here, not ir.

Thanks!

Hola,

In the sentence above, which was in a test today, is 'la' necessary?  I would have thought that it would be 'de educación'.

By the way, I cannot type accents in this dialogue box, I cut and paste from my word processor.  Is there a way to type accents in here?

Also another answer is mixed up:

Prefiero ________ armario porque es más grande. because it is bigger.)I prefer that wardrobe (over there(HINT: The speaker is referring to a wardrobe that is far away from the speaker and the listener.)

Gracias y saludos,

Colin

I continue to take tests on this lesson but am not given credit for correct answers up to 100%. Please assist me. Thank you.

I interpret "es" as "is", so how/why is "He" assumed for "Es un excelente actor." -> "He is an excellent actor"?
