Spanish language Q&A Forum

hola,

both tiempo and estacion are used for season, why?

Also, entonces and asi are bothed used to say "so".  When do you use each?

Finnally for yo suelo, what verb is suelo conjugated from to mean usually?

gracias

In English, we also say that a book is "heavy reading" when the subject matter is academic or complicated and detailed.  A subtle difference between heavy reading and difficult to read.  A book might be difficult to read if it is badly written.  Not quite the same as "heavy reading"

Does the same subtle difference exist in Spanish?

hola,

how do you know if a verb should be reflexive or not? Why is there both sentar and sentarse?

Oh I'm trying so hard, but I'll be 103 years old before I understand whether to use the imperfect or the simple past!

In the question:

"____  vamos envejeciendo, nos van importando menos las cosas banales."

I see that conforme works, but why not "Cuánto más"? Is it that the "menos" should be in front? As:

"Cuánto más vamos envejeciendo, menos nos van importando las cosas banales."

Thanks!

Tu novia y tú habéis estado comprometidos hasta este año.Your girlfriend and you have been engaged until this year.

The meaning is unclear to me — are they no longer engaged?  

Then, in my opinion,  the English should be:

..Your girlfriend and you.were engaged until this year, not have been. But maybe I do not understand what is being expressed in Spanish. In any case, the English sentence is not clear. 

En el Fiesta del Olivo los verbos empezó y acabó suenan como oí (o oy ). Por eso no entiendo.

Sending love, prayers and positive thoughts to all in Kwiziq land.
