I wish there were a lesson explaining how the use of articles in Spanish differs from English. For example, "he has a good heart" is "tiene buen corazon" not "un buen corazon". Another example, "I will be in the first row" is "estare en primera fila" and not "en la primera fila".
I used the imperfect subjuntive - "'Es sorprendente lo lejos que viniera este artista en su carrera" Why gave you used the preterite? I've looked up the phrase Es sorprendente and it does say it will take the subjunctive as is an impersonal phrase.
Es sorprendente lo lejos que este artista llegó en su carrera
Hello.
I wonder why we used the preterito perfecto de sujuntivo in this sentence, instead of the presente de sujuntivo. Aside from the given hint to use the said verb, can you explain why? Thank you.
Which one is correct:
Tres es más que dos.
Tres es más de dos.
Is there a lesson to understand when the Spanish use an article - eg desde el surf hasta la escalada, and when they don't - eg conquistando repos nuevos

Judging by the very high quality of Spanish tuition offered by Kwiziq, I'm sure that you would like to ensure that your texts, too, always convey correct information. A "lunation" takes about 29½ days [this is an average, sometimes it can be several hours longer, or shorter] - not 28. So the moon does not perform 13 orbits every year. Instead, 12 of its circuits are completed in 354 days, so an Islamic year is usually about 11 days shorter than [our] Gregorian year.
But pronunciation: in the Spanish muy is the U treated as W as in ruido, cuido or is the U given strength and sounded separately. Is muy MWEE ot moo-ee or muu-ee? cuy is cwee or cuuee. I've always believed that Y is treated as another vocal. a e i o u and Y meaning that u before Y = W so muy = mwee
I used "Cuál" thinking that what's on television is a limited, although large, selection. Like the example: "Cuál es tu flor favorita".
Why is "Qué" used here?
