Why is "pasar" shown to mean "have" when English speakers just as often say "to spend?" Wouldn't it be truer to the Spanish to say it means "to spend?" Also, that will help me learn the actual meaning of "pasar." To say it means "have" I would think may sow some confusion.
Could this be ¨no puedo dejar de pensar en ella¨ ?
Thanks
Here we learn 'estar por llover'
It's only a couple of weeks since I learned 'estar para llover' and I can't tell the difference.
A quiz marked 'Te no miras' (you don't look at yourself) as correct. But I don't think it is. The reflex particle goes closer to the conjugated verb. 'No te miras'
I see in this lesson that when the subject is the same, we should be using the infinitive. I need to work on that!
Is it ever a “tolerable” error among native speakers to commit this mistake when using a colloquial register? I frequently want to say things like “Dudo que (yo) pueda hacerlo para viernes” instead of “poder hacerlo.” I know you’re here to teach us the right way!! Just curious as to “how” wrong it is.
This is my first lesson at B1, (yay) but it seems to assume i ready know the subjunctive conjugations. Should I just skip it, and wait until I get lessons on the subjunctive?
Hola,
As a matter of interest, what would the difference in meaning be if 'por' were substituted for 'para'.
The online translator I use says that they are the same.
Gracias.

In the lesson, I answered the question, Maria, ___ es bastante seria normalmente cantó en público ayer, with ,"la que". It was marked incorrect, with "que" being shown as correct. I thought they were interchange.
Hola
Why is the imperfect subjunctive used, as it is not a repeated or continued action?
Many thanks
