Los zumos. Si una naranja es sana 'tonces una naranja con un platano es más sana?

Lo que dice Eva H. sobre mezclar frutas es muy cierto. Las posibilidades son ilimitadas, como el universo. Pero, todas las frutas tienen diferentes niveles de digestibilidad y mezclar una fruta ácida con una alcalina puede causar indigestión, dolorosa o no. Creo que la gente inculta ha asumido que como la "fruta" se considera ser "sana", al combinar muchas frutas los resultados serán "más sanos". Sin embargo, una macedonia de frutas suele ser la causa de un dolor de barriga y, por supuesto, que las zanahorias y las espinacas sean "saludables" también, no significa que su adición a un zumo de frutas lo mejore.

¡Por las posibilidades ilimitadas del Universo!

Test Question - Till

“Usted tendría que devolver los

artículos en la caja. (You would have

to return the articles at the till.)

HINT: Conjugate "tener que"' in El

Condicional Simple.

“No entiendo “the till.” In the US would be the cashier, I think. In Latin America, perhaps “el cajero.” “The till” has various contations in the US and some border on the negative. From Miriam-Webster:

till

noun (1)

\ ˈtil \

When do we use this construction?

Hello, I'm trying to get a better understanding of when to use different constructions.

Specifically:

Si Amalia va al mercado, comprará pescado fresco.

Si Amalia fuera al mercado, compraría pescado fresco.

These two constructions express the same idea. How do we know which one to choose? Is our choice solely based on the probability of the action in the "si" clause?

Thanks.

Todavía no

I just did an exercise and 'No todavía me he vestido para la fiesta' was wrong. The correct answer was 'Todavía no me he vestido para la fiesta'. I don't understand the difference. Help please.

El vs La

I see that “el” and “la” are based off masculine or feminine. How do I know if a general noun (e.g. car) is masculine or feminine tense?
