Hi Inma,

Thanks a million this is really interesting and insightful to the use of Spanish. Saludos. John

Is there a way to make flashcards and add these to notebooks? Thank you so much for everything. I love this site. 

On a quiz question, my answer was marked wrong because I read "que se vaya" (irse) as "go away" instead of "is".  This seems wrong to me.  Irse means to GO away, not to BE away.  The suggested answers don't even test the difference between "por mi" and "para mi".

What does "Por mí que se vaya bien lejos." mean?

I didn't want him to be far away.

I don't care if he is far away.

He went away just for me.

In my opinion he should go far away.

In your example above:

should this: I don't find my keys!

be "I can't find my keys"??  (I don't find my keys sounds awkward)

I would have said “en el sol”, not “al sol”

Estoy referido al ejercicio: "El Real Madrid marcó menos goles (de/que) goles de Barça este año. 

Más de/menos de, se usan en candidades, no? En el ejercicio anterior los goles se refierien a una cantidad, creo yo.

Gracias y le agradezco.

The rule seems to be inconsistent. 

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
