Spanish language Q&A Forum

I am a bit upset at the fact that a hint given on a test made me change the correct answer to an incorrect.  I just finished a quiz and the question was "Sus padres ________ bastante delgados. Their parents are quite slim.

Esperemos que el futoro le traiga muchos más éxitos. Shouldn't it be Esperamos que etc, as Esperar triggers the subjunctive mode for the second clause in the sentence?

Kind regards,

I thought I had understood all of the Gustar verbs, but this lesson was a great help, especially the "subject in the infinitive" nugget and all of the yellow box.

The word "any" can have a nuance of uncertainty.

"We opened our doors to those who wanted to come in."

--> We opened our doors to anyone who wanted to come in.

"People who booked in advance may go to this desk."

--> Anyone who has booked in advance may go to this desk.

It's not always appropriate, but could help sometimes.

Just a question -- will all these exercises have the Spanish accent from Spain?   I am hoping to near Latin American

How to distinguish when to use direct pronouns and when indirect?

I have noticed that many questions are unanswered. Inma's responses were always very informative and greatly appreciated. So I was wondering if she will be back.

I can see how "lugar" might be used to signify: taking "place" (tener lugar) but surely the intent is that the occasion will "occur" rather than being placed somewhere? Would not "ocurrir" be a better verb? Esto ocurrirá entre . . . and why "esta" instead of "esto" or even "este"? It is an "evento", no? 

And "habrá lugar para nuevos creadores"? It's as though "lugar" is being used as an easy substitute for better word choices.

What is IFEMA?

I believe that "escaparate" is like a "vitrina" which is an object, whereas the event, as a "highlight", might be considered to be "el último en moda" or "gran destacado de la moda española".

I feel as though I'm missing the point somehow. Nevertheless, it's a thought-provoking article for vocabulary.

Could you use  something like 'Me fío plenamente de él' instead of 'confío plenamente en él'? I know the hint said to use the pronoun 'I'; would it sound unnatural to say 'Yo me fío plenamente de él'?
