If something is currently better now, but may change, why don't I use estar?  For example, el tiempo está mejor ahora.

In a writing exercise (a day outside), it told me to use es.

Buenas tardes Shui e Inma ...

It might be worth considering ... >> ?

1. > "As many Irish people emigrated to the United States..." [because that corresponds better with the 'emigraron' in your Spanish translation].

2. [Debatable !] > I first wondered whether "Halloween is really an ancient Irish holiday" might have been more helpful to us, rather than saying "... ancestral..."]... In Castillian, 'ancestral' is indeed sometimes used as a synonym for 'antiguo' - but perhaps there is a very slight difference in Englsh? Eventually, however, I could see that the use of the word 'ancestral' in that context was at least pointing us in the right direction.

Should violeta also be on this list?

and when I looked in a spanish  (does this have Cap) violet was also given.   This might be usual  mean not invariable.   Or maybe that was giving the meaning.   I think giving the meaning.  carro had car and cart

________ (Busquemos) un apartamento más grande para los cuatro.

Why does this sentence need a subjunctive (as stated in the hint)?

For "I will get my nails shaped" we were told to "use the construction for 'to have something done'" - so [following your guidelines for sentences of that type] I put: "me daré forma a las uñas", but this was incorrect. However, "*le* daré forma a las uñas" was among the options allowed?

Oops.  The webpage cut out part of my response.  Right after I wrote

Hacer + Infinitive, the second paragraph contains;

and here I quoted from the lesson:

     .."There is a tendency to use indirect pronouns me,te,le,nos,os,les when the verb in intransitive. However, if the verb is transitive, we usually use direct object pronouns me,te,lo,la,nos,os,los,las.

That's where I asked if this is misprint, or is referring to common mistakes that we make?

  The remainder of my comment got posted correctly.  Hope that my points are more clear now.

I saw it in spain and "IT WAS WONDERFUL". Shouldn't it be in Imperfecto because we are kind of giving description here of how it was. But it was marked wrong. It was "fue marvillosos" . Please answer???  

Un hecho -

“Usted tendría que devolver los

artículos en la caja. (You would have

to return the articles at the till.)

HINT: Conjugate "tener que"' in El

Condicional Simple.

“No entiendo “the till.” In the US would be the cashier, I think. In Latin America, perhaps “el cajero.” “The till” has various contations in the US and some border on the negative. From Miriam-Webster: 

till

 noun (1)

Hola Inma, 

The translation of the above is given as “Come up here without stepping on the white floor tiles.” This sounds like an imperative, so would it be one of the appropriate conjugations ¡Ve/Vea! etc? Or is it a typo?

Saludos. John
