Spanish language Q&A Forum

Why is the last sentence written as "y no abusemos de ellas"? I thought that it should be "no las abusemos". Is there a rule for when you put "de ellas" at the end of the sentence? I thought that you weren't allowed to have pronouns on the end of sentences in Spanish. 

It is possible, I believe, to form a [sort of?] passive with 'estar' - is it? … Do you have an exercise on that? (perhaps highlighting comparisons with the 'ser' passive).

Just wondering if habrías coincidido might be better said as habrías conocido.

Like Ian, I am confused by some of the examples given here, in particular:

Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...

... which does involve movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !

And in the short quiz included in this site, I got this question wrong:

We are taking the children to where they can run around freely > Llevamos a los niños ________ puedan corretear libremente…. i.e., I [incorrectly !] chose "adónde" with an accent because it did seem to involve movement … (but no ! - it had to be "adonde").

In Question 5 of the Test I have just completed, we had to translate: "She came near to where I was sitting" by inserting the correct word in the gap here: "Ella se acercó ________ yo estaba sentada". It did look to me as if movement was involved, so I chose "... adónde …" [plus the others which carried the accent] … But I was wrong !

Admittedly, when I clicked on "Explain this", I noticed this example:

Iremos adonde tú quieras, cariño >> We will go where (to whichever restaurant) you want, darling...

... which also involves movement, but despite that it uses 'donde' - with no accent !

Thank You Inma ! ]

Hi, is there some kind of rule with the verbs that stem change to ue or is it just a case of learning and remembering which ones do? 

Thanks :) 

hello, 

I was wondering if there was a way to copy and paste the texts? I realise they are not just "mere" text files as you can click and find out meaning/grammar points etc but it'd help to review them without being online and without any help/hints.

thanks in advance.

In spite of the hint that 'esos' refer to more abstract things,  in the test above ( cakes) why would it be esos not eses?
