This usage is also common in colloquial English.

Examples: "What you did was well out of order" (very wrong). "My dog's well hard" (very tough). "I'm well chuffed" (very pleased). "He was well choked" (very disappointed).

Gender for first in a group

In this sentence from the exercise: "Él es muy famoso, expone en muchas galerías y museos y tiene muchos premios."

The word "muchas" is feminine, but since it seems to include "museos" I was thinking it might be "muchos". Is it a rule that the first in a series determines the gender, or was this done to say "many galleries and (some) museums"?

Pretérito imperfeito de haber

I was marked wrong for using “habían” when the sentence was something like “habían muchos mensajes …”. If “había” is used for one thing or many things when would you use “habían”? It sounds more natural to say “habían muchos mensajes …”

Past Continuous

Yesterday I was visiting my friend Jimena.

The best answer is:

Ayer estuve visitando a mi amiga Jimena.

Is it incorrect to say estaba visitando OR visitaba ?

I can't find any lessons on the differences.

Gracias

I don't even begin to understand the question...1Which of the following articles could you use with the letter "s" in Spanish: "ese"?

I'm pretty good with language, am a C1 in French, but I don't understand what is the question is asking about. Are you trying to teach the gender of the letters? Strange.........

¿Alguien ha visto salir el sol sobre el Océano Pacífico?

¡Hola a todos!

Me ha gustado mucho esta lectura, pero quiero dejar un comentario.**

El autor escribe:

"Finalmente, quiero ver el amanecer sobre el Océano Pacífico, en Ciudad de Panamá, y el atardecer en el Océano Atlántico, en Colón."

Nunca he estado en Ciudad de Panamá. Dicho esto, ¿alguien ha visto salir el sol sobre el Océano Pacífico desde la costa oeste de Panamá? O, ¿ha visto ponerse el sol sobre el Atlántico en una playa de Colón?, en la costa este de Panamá? ;>)
