Spanish language Q&A Forum

In every example the questions are:

De donde eres

and

De donde es usted

The pronoun is included in every formal example. Is it required in the formal? 

It appears to me that the better answer for "we have been" would be "hemos estado" rather than "hemos ido," which seems to me to say "we have gone."  In English, there is a difference between "been" and "gone."  Could you please advise.  Thank you.

What's difference between 2 words in term of meaning and usage?

Hola,

Gracias a todos.

Hi, 

HINT: serio = serious

Why does serio become seriecillo when it doesn't end with an e or a constant? 

Is it common in Spanish to have two words seriecilla / seriecillo that are almost similar yet so different in meaning? 

Thank you! 

No entiendo la broma.

I learned that you can use the futuro simple and the condicional simple to express something which might happen in the future.

Is the difference that the futuro simple only can be used with a sentence which states the probability of the action?

E.g.:

Tú ________ chocolate sin parar

Comerías

Pero:

Probablemente, tú comerás chocolate sin parar.

If my assumption is correct, what is the difference to:

Probablemente, tú comerías chocolate sin parar.

ALLÍ talks about a further away distance from the speaker

I think allí fits the 'garden next door' (next door is a further away distance from the speaker).

Why is it considered a wrong answer in a test.

If there can be multiple answers, it would be nice if the lesson indicated that.
