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 !

Hola,
Is there any way I can get help besides taking quizzes here to understand the difference between Estar and Ser uses?
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
For the sentence:
Ustedes quisieron reservar en este hotel.
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
I get this message even after I click around for awhile:
You took this Kwiz 16 minutes ago.
This lesson is already in your notebook. Go to your notebook now to kwiz this topic as many times as you like.
Shouldn't the English translation listed be "We [sit] on the bench that's furthest away." Instead of "We [are sitting] on the bench that is furthest away.
I understand that you are asking for the El Presente conjugation of sentarse in this question. I originally answered it as something like "estamos sentiando" because I saw [are sitting].
Because in another question a few below goes like "Ella [esta comiendo] en el restaurante." I understand this one is asking for Presente Progresivo/Continuo.
Me pregunto ¿si esta estructura se usa en otros países hispanohablantes también?
In the example Nosotros podemos salir antes del trabajo temprano hoy, wouldn't it mean the same thing to say Nosotros podemos salir del trabajo temprano hoy.
Buenas tardes,
Within the context of the passage, would I be right in saying that, "...sobran guionistas a patadas..." means "there are plenty of or more than enough screenwriters"?
Gracias de antemano 😊
