Spanish language Q&A Forum

I encountered this in a video:

John es estudiante. Roger es UN estudiante también. 

Why does the article appear when también is added? Is this correct?  If so, what is the explanation?

(Google translate also adds the indefinite article when también is used.)

Isn't there an exception for locations of events? For example in: "¿Dónde es la reunión?"

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.

Hola. Creo que los ejemplos en esta lista son del pretérito y no del presente de subjuntivo. 

Gracias.

I am surprised that there is not a note on this question: what's in (your bag)? 

It may seem tempting to translate "is" to "esta'" but actually "is" means "is there" so it should be "hay". I thought this is an interesting case to be included in this lesson. :)

I don’t understand why the 2nd sentence (starting “Fue”) uses the indefinido but the 3rd sentence (starting “La lengua” uses the imperfecto. I can’t really see any difference between them and I thought they should both be the imperfecto tense since they refer to something that happened over a long period. Likewise tense choices in the later sentences. Thanks for your help, Tony

Hi,

I would have thought that as feliz is a transient feeling, estar would be apprpriate.  However, in the example above, ser has been used.

Can you please explain.

Thanks and regards,

Colin

¡Anda, qué bien te han dejado en la peluquería!

Could this also be stated as? ...

¡Anda, qué bien te han hecho en la peluquería!

Or is that rude? I probably wouldn't have thought to use dejado.

Of course numbers are read all kinds of ways, but I was always taught that in reading a number without a decimal (i.e., "20, 354") the word "and" is not to be used. Thus, your example "20,354" would be vocalized as:  "twenty-thousand, three hundred fifty-four". No "and".
