"Have" lunch

I noticed that "lunch" was turned into a noun in the English translation. That really is not necessary because every English speaker is familiar with "lunch" being used as a verb. It is not common, but not improper or unknown. If Spanish speakers think of it as a verb, then it can only help learners to think of it as a verb as well, no?

I'm having trouble remembering the difference between Estar and Ser

Hola,

Is there any way I can get help besides taking quizzes here to understand the difference between Estar and Ser uses?

I don’t understand why you use an infinitive (endurecer) in the last sentence when there was a subjunctive earlier.

Format question

Hola,

RE: what this means: [the] when used

It talked about the use of [the] colours

I was wondering what is the meaning of the use of brackets [ ] and ( ) in these tests.

Sometimes it seems that this means that the word in brackets is used in Spanish, but if I remember correctly,

sometimes it does not mean this.

So if there is a way to find out what these means and any others, would be very appreciated.

Thank you.

Also wishing you the best in this New Year to you and your team!

Nicole

English Translation?

There has to be some loose English equivalent of this mood. The best I can think of:

“He will be so daring!”

even if it’s very archaic. Even then “would” would be much more acceptable. Any ideas?

sino pero sino queCuando me rompí la muñeca no me operaron ________ me pusieron un vendaje.When I broke my wrist they didn't operate on me but they put a bandage.(HINT: Choose "pero", "sino" or "sino que")i put sino que because there are two different verbs and they substituted an operation for a bandage is there another way of explaining the difference. I've looked at other answers here and see that many people are confused with this.

Preterite vs imperfect

"I couldn't find her so I left" - I put encontre (with an accent) because it was a completed action. I thought that encontraba would be the past continuous. Am I misunderstanding something?

Conjugating poner in the future tense seems to follow a more general pattern

Namely, adding a 'dr' to the stem before the regular endings.

I will leave ... Saldré

I will put ... Pondré
