Spanish language Q&A Forum

In the example, "I made a chocolate cake" when would you use ha hecho versus hice? Are they both the same?

The lesson gave me the impression that articles are only needed when they are in plural form, but based on the discussion below it sounds like they are always needed for both singular and plural forms. Is that correct?  So that’s why “el cantar” was correct in the quiz question but “cantar” alone was incorrect?  How do we know when a verb is considered a noun without a quiz hint?

Are there some activities that do or don’t take “a” or “a + article”? Juego al ajedrez vs Juego un partido.

Hola!

I'm new and finding this really useful, but I was wondering about this:

Tal vez ________ cervezas en el frigorífico. (encontrar)

The answer is meant to be encuentres - but I thought that with e.g. tal vez / quizás you could use either encuentres or encuentras, I think I'm missing something but I'm not sure what! Do you know where I'm going wrong?

Thank you!

Hi,

Why is it not the verb "continuar" + unconjugated verb, or the verb "seguir" + unconjugated verb?

For example, "Continúa caminar..." why is it written instead as "Continúa caminando?" I do not understand the why behind making the second verb -ando or -iendo.

As I have been learning spanish, castellano, why is carro used?  Carro does not mean car here. 

 Therefore I thought the phrase was 'sin caro:,  ie without costing a lot.
