In the beginning of the story, using present perfect was clear because she is saying that her best friend has come to visit. Afterwards, when she is narrating what they did each day, we have specific time (the day mentioned) and what they did which to me seems to be how we use preterite for a specific time (day) in the past, so it is confusing to see present perfect for specific time events in the past. Can you please explain why you continued to use pr. perfect and did not switch to another tense. To me (the "has come" in the beginning) would have been more appropriate with what they are going to do in the future since she mentions that "they have made tons on plans."
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.

¿Se puede usar solo "cuales" como pronombre relativo? ¿O se necessita siempre usa con el/la/los?
hi, can i check if the following statements are correct responses to the first statement that ´A micheal no le gusta el arroz´ ?

- A Javier no le gusta tampoco el arroz.
- A Javier no le gusta el arroz tampoco.
Thanks
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.
Isn't there an exception for locations of events? For example in: "¿Dónde es la reunión?"
How exactly do we use this as it means "Curiosities" as well!!
I heard some intresting facts about you.
He oído algunos curiosidades de ti.
Is it okay to say this?
In the A2 quiz, this question came up. I understand I should have picked A mí tampoco AND yo tampoco, but it looks like 'yo tampoco' is marked as incorrect.
