Need more clarityPast tenses are confusing and these lessons do not have enough of an explainer. In this Idefinite Past, I see:
Ella hizo una tarta para mi cumpleaños.She made a cake for my birthday.
But, under the Present Perfect lesson, I see:
He hecho un pastel de chocolate.I made a chocolate cake.
There is not enough information to distinguish between the two forms. I do not see the difference. "I made a cake" and "she made a cake" are identical in format, yet different. If both answers are correct- after all, there are often several ways to say the same thing, I think that needs to be reflected here if that is the case.
Can you explain?
Why the speaker can see him/herself in this time frame? It's obvious that the speaker is talking about someone else.
Thank u so much
The vocabulary and long sentences should make this type of story A2 or even higher. Eamples, bodegon to mean still life and lienzo. I wish there were some easier real A1 stories for me to start with. I either have to forget them or spend a lot time
please could you tell me the trigger for using subjunctive here.Será mejor que aparques lejos del centro.It'd be better if you park far from the town centre. [you=tú]
is the above translation correct?
Será - it will beor Sería - it would be
many thanks in advance

I wonder why this is referred to as se aspectual, because it can be any reflexive pronoun?
Hello, in this listening exercise, the pronunciation of the word "celebran" is helebran or similar, is this common? Thanks
"Cada verano en Carballiño, Galicia, el segundo domingo de agosto celebran la feria del pulpo"
How can I get private Spanish lessons?
Un hecho -
Comó yo mientras Alberto nadó.
pero no??
Comó yo conforme Alberto nadó.
Accent should be on the a in cuál, not the u.
