Spanish language Q&A Forum

This is more of a complaint that a question. There is confusion in tense nomenclature. What is often referred to here as Pretérito Perfecto is really Pretérito Perfecto Compuesto.  

The Pretérito Perfecto Simple is referred to Pretérito Indefinido.  The action in the Pretérito Perfecto Simple has definitely been "perfected".   When doing quizzes quickly I often make a mistake when the Pretérito Perfecto is asked for. It would be nice if a uniform terminology were used in the teaching of Spanish

under this section, the quiz showed a question as below.

Estoy intentando que ellos nos ________ una oportunidad.

i am not sure why does intentar trigger subjunctive.

is this because it contains uncertainty? so if im using other similar verbs such as probar or whatever scenario of trying to do something, i will need to use subjunctive?

Should violeta also be on this list?

and when I looked in a spanish  (does this have Cap) violet was also given.   This might be usual  mean not invariable.   Or maybe that was giving the meaning.   I think giving the meaning.  carro had car and cart

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?

Is there a way to eliminate vosotros from lessons and quizzes? It's not something I've ever studied or used.

Most enjoyable, perfectly spoken and easy to follow. Thanks. But what is a "menina"? It's not in my Larousse dictionary . . .

I saw it in spain and "IT WAS WONDERFUL". Shouldn't it be in Imperfecto because we are kind of giving description here of how it was. But it was marked wrong. It was "fue marvillosos" . Please answer???
