Would it also be correct to say...."quién va a hacer el primer movimiento?"?
I notice all the caer examples used reflexive pronouns except the following example :
El árbol cae encima de la casa.
The information indicates that reflexive pronouns are generally used with caer, so I'm wondering if the above sentence also correct as follows:
El árbol se cae encima de la case.

Hello,
I'm interested in the flexibility when there are multiple objets. The first example on the page is: A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella le diste mucho.
Would
A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella mucho.
also be correct?
And what about:
A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella diste mucho.
?
thanks!
"An impersonal statement in Spanish, e.g. "Es bueno que...", "Es importante que..." can be followed by the infinitive", no está correcta, según se puede leer más abajo en el texto.
This one to me does not mean 'to want someone to', but 'to want something done'. So I think, 'Todos queremos el problema se resuelva pronto' is enough.
I currently am focusing on Latin American Spanish, specifically Mexican Spanish / Californian. What are the differences in vocabulary?
This article is extremely confusing. One of your examples is Voy a salir aunque llueva and you use the subjunctive in the next example—llueve but your translation is the same!? Aunque + subjunctive seems like it should be translated as even if, implying either they don’t know if it is raining or they are talking about a time in the future. Aunque + indicative translates as even though and implies a known fact. I am going out in spite of knowing that it is raining. The talk about shared or background information is something I have never heard before
Is "hablar" more like "contar"?
Ex: Su tía nos habló sobre su visita a españa.
Thanks.
