The first sentence in this paragraph (horrible run-on that it was) contained OVER 70 WORDS; whereas the second and third contained 6 and 9 words respectfully. I mention this because it was quite a challenge to determine when to insert the correct punctuation (i.e., period versus a comma) during this dictation. In short, this was by far the worse dictation to listen to and attempt to discern (by the speaker's intonation) when to insert ending punctuation! Please do better.
Mis amigos van a pagar una cena en un restaurante tailandés.
Is this expression used only in Spain? I cannot find more information about the usage of this idiom. My teacher has not heard of this either.

What an explosion of vocabulary! Does the average hispanohablante use such an extensive vocab? Really good audio. thanks again, I enjoy every one of them . . .
From what I understand, statements of emotion almost always trigger the subjunctive. Are there exceptions for past events with cuando? "I was happy that he came" gives imperfect subjunctive whereas "I was happy when he came" gives preterite.
If this is a rule, is it more general than cuando?
Hello, I'm slightly confused with the following:
Debe de haber llovido esta noche, porque los coches están mojados.As you can see from the previous examples, when we use deber with this nuance of assumption/wondering, we can optionally use the preposition "de" after deber.
So you are saying that "de" is truly optional and has the same meaning whether "de" is used or not?
Thank you,
Dave
This was a really fun exercise for me...
My daughter and I spent last Christmas in Burgos, where all my father's family and ancestors are from. Whilst there we visited the beautiful cathedral and we saw Papamoscas! He certainly is a funny little man :) You do need either good eyesight or binoculars to see him as he is really high up!
In the example "A veces ________ que llevamos casados 20 años", why is simple olvido wrong? - when there was another question in another kwizz about forgetting a towel, and olvido was correct. How are we supposed to know if something is accidental or not? I must say that I find this lesson absolutely confusing and no matter what I put in the answer, it always seems to be wrong.
(And I notice that it lists me as C1. I'm not C1, I am still struggling with B2. The Kwizbot doesn't understand the fluctuating nature of how people learn, forget, re-learn, get wrong again, and so on.)
When would you use this vs. the regular imperative? Are they exchangeable or is one preferred over the other under certain circumstances?
