Spanish language Q&A Forum

I was hoping to learn Mexican pronunciation  but you use the Spanish pronunciation using the th sound instead of c sound.  Are the listening exercises also going to use the vosotros  grammar forms or Mexican grammar?

Great structure to know!  Check your English translations, however, as they don't fit the correct grammar patterns:

1.  If PRESENT, then FUTURE

2.  If IMPERFECT, then CONDITIONAL

3.  Your "If PLUPERFECT, then CONDITIONAL PERFECT" examples are correct.

I wish there were a lesson explaining how the use of articles in Spanish differs from English.  For example, "he has a good heart" is "tiene buen corazon" not "un buen corazon".  Another example, "I will be in the first row" is "estare en primera fila" and not "en la primera fila".

Why does "la" translate to "your" and not "the" In English? Example "quítate la ropa" translates to "take off your clothes" but "la ropa" translates to "the clothes" so why isn't there "the"? 

Hi,

The link to the above takes you to a page with the sub-heading 'Spanish Present Perfect'.

I thought 'preterite' was always related to the past as it says in the text on that page. So, why is it present perfect in Spanish?

Thanks.

I said this phrase was incorrect as I though the a in ave would change the una to an un.

However I was marked wrong and apparently it is a correct phrase.

Is this another exception to the rule?

Voy para la casa de mi amigo.  Is the use of para in this case particular to Spain?  IN Mexico and New Mexico(where I live) I'm pretty sure the sentence would use the prepossition "a" as in Voy a la piscina.
