In the lesson on using perfecto vs indefinido, above the "tip block", the term "El Preterito Perfecto" is used twice. Probably the second use is an oversight.
No es lo mismo ver una película en cine que ver una película en casa How do I say that 2 scenarios are the same ?
Hola Inma,
The translation of the above is given as “Come up here without stepping on the white floor tiles.” This sounds like an imperative, so would it be one of the appropriate conjugations ¡Ve/Vea! etc? Or is it a typo?

"Suelo ir al gimnasio todos los días, ________ soy socio.
I usually go to the gym every day because I am a member."
One of the options here was "por". Is there a reason that would not be correct? It seems like "por" "que" and "porque" all mean pretty much the same thing.
For example: Nosotros nos reímos siempre con esa película. We always laugh at that movie. I would have never known to use "con." I would have chosen "a."
And, Ustedes se ríen de los niños. You laugh at the children. Again, I would have chosen "a" instead of "de." Why "con" in one sentence and "de" in another?
Will there be lessons on how to choose the correct preposition, or is it a matter of memorising the conjunction with the noun?
Hello, this is a more advanced topic but I've come back to review.
Why do we use the subjunctive in this statement:
Ustedes pueden comprar lo que quieran.
Thanks.
When is "cómo es" used? I keep seeing it as a correct option but what scenario it would be used in hasn't been specified.
Which one is correct:
Tres es más que dos.
Tres es más de dos.
Hi,
For the sections "Eran aún mejores que..." and then after this "...en mis sueños.", I believe it might be a bit confusing to separate these parts of the same sentence as the use of the imperfect or preterite tense for the 'Ser' in this sentence relies on the context of to when this action refers. Just seeing the prompt "They were even better than...", I assumed that it was referring to the actual concert, which you would use the preterite of 'Ser' (Fueron) as it is a single and defined event, however when you see "...in my dreams." you then see it was referring to multiple, repeated instances so you would hence use the imperfect tense (Eran).
Perhaps I am mistaken?
Regardless, these quizzes are very good for practical and realistic Spanish usage.
Thanks,
Angus.
