Translation into english

It would be great to have the english version as well so it is easier to understand unfamiliar words.

Donde vs. DóndeLuis me dijo ________ había ido de vacaciones.

The correct answer is dónde not donde and I really don't understand why. Luis is telling a fact from the past. There is no question or doubt or anything about where he went. Why 'dónde'?

Does hasta = to?

Kwiziq question:

Los niños iban juntos ________ la playa.

a and para are correct

hasta is incorrect

I've seen hasta used with desde to mean 'from/to' (trains etc). And I'm sure I've seen hasta used on its own to mean 'to'. Can someone explain why it's incorrect in this case?

Saludos

Dolor de

Hola Inma,

The sentence given was "resultados terapéuticos en el dolor de estómago, cuello, espalda y pierna." In the A2 "Everything hurts!" exercise for this week there was a sentence "También, tengo dolor de estómago y de pies," where the "de" was repeated. I rationalised this as being way of saying that I have pain from / of stomach and from / of feet. I can't understand why the "de" isn't repeated in the example above from this B1 exercise.

Can you help please

Saludos

John

English explanation

Please correct the English in these (and other) exercises. Native speakers of English would not say something is "different to". We say, it is "different from".

E.g., English is different from Spanish in that we use the apostrophe to show the possessive

Cómo estás Hello, about the question: "Pedrito, how are you? " My answers were: ¿cómo estás?, ¿qué tal? and ¿cómo está?. The bot took my third choice as non correct. At the explanation tab however, it states : "even when we greet a person using their first name, we can still use a formal greeting as a sign of respect for an elderly person or because we feel that person prefers a more formal approach - in this instance we can still use the formal question: "¿Cómo está?", for example: Carmen, ¿cómo está?" So, I dont understand why cant we use the formal type for Pedrito too. I would think because he is a child but still a child could have the right to prefer a more formal approach. What is the case here, and why is the question: "Pedrito, ¿cómo está? wrong?

Conditionals question

What is the translation of this sentence 'Nunca hubiese pensado que mi destino estuviese en Cantabria'.

Could it also be Nunca hubiese pensado que mi destino estaría en Cantabria? Or does this change the meaning?

Many thanks,
