¿Te interesa ir a los museos o te interesan las playas?
I [incorrectly] made "mejor" plural - to agree with "they" - by writing: "Eran aún mejores que en mis sueños". [Or could it also be correct with "mejores"?]
Perhaps we have to regard "mejor" as an adverb here, not as an adjective - so we should not make it plural - despite the fact that (in English) it looks like a complement of the verb "eran".
My grammar book (by Butt and Benjamin) seems to confirm that^ by giving the example "Aquí estamos mejor" = "We're better [off] here".
It seems that we need to be careful in deciding whether a particular word in Spanish should be treated as an adverb rather than an adjective. In particular, we should avoid the temptation of trying to judge it according to its grammatical context in English. [A well known example of that, is of course "Está bien"].
"¿Tú traes a tus padres a la graduación?"
Where do you put the subject pronoun in sentences?
Before or after the verb?
In this sentence, I see it before the verb, but sometimes it is after the verb.
Los adultos compran este calendario para los niños porque tienen chocolates y son deliciosos.
Tienen is plural while calendario is singular. So who have the chocolates? The adults or the children? Neither makes sense.
This sentence is funny in a way because you could read as the children have chocolates and the children are delicious. I guess the adults buy the calendar to lull the children, to capture them and eat them. Yum, delicious children:-)
Please explain 'al' in Mis amigos sintieron una gran alegría al verme.

Is there any problem with adding "se" to the verb "reír" here?
I think that "deporte" in Latin American Spanish should be translated as: I don't play sports or I don't do sports.
Or, the word "deporte" should be substituted with "ejercicio."
I’m confused, agua is masculine but the adjective is feminine (fría).
Thank you,
Shirley.
