‘We had to play football without kneepads’ - in English we say shin pads (UK) or shin guards (US). Knee pads are what you use for skating. SpanishDict is telling me shin guards are ‘espinilleras’, but I have no knowledge about about which is correct/if one word may be used in a certain country and another elsewhere etc
Creo que los dos son correctos. Leo online que "a" se usa más en América y "en" es más común en España. Pero en "Love Story" (ejercicio de escribir - A1), se dice "entrar al bar" no es correcto! Solo "entrar en el bar". Porque?
there is another chapter where "Having done something" with the action as subject or direct object of a sentence using El Infinitivo Compuesto (= haber + participle)
How does it differ from using infinitive?
Fumar es malo para la salud
Haber fumado es malo para la salud
if I were to guess, I am guessing that using el infinitive compuesto is that, the action was indeed being carried out where as using infinitive is just a general statement. the person we are warning regarding smoking is bad, did not smoke.
Whereas if the person indeed smoke, we will say haber fumado es malo para la salud
1. In the second sentence, "para que te acuerdes de que me he portado muy bien"...Why isn't recordar accepted here?
2. In the sentence, "Además, desearía que ayudaras a las personas enfermas"... why isn't "ojalá que" accepted as a translation of "I hope"?
The sound stops halfway through this example:
Yo voy al gimnasio, no porque me gusta, sino porque debo perder peso.I go to the gym, not because I like it, but because I must lose weight.
Can this website teach me the majority of spanish grammar or do i have to use other resources?
Sorry, re my previous question i meant Pongamonos, not pongonos.

What is the problem with either Pónselos allí OR Se los pon allí ?? Both are grammatically correct yet it seems sometimes that these "tests" go out of their way to make responses more difficult an obcure than they should be.
In one of the questions, Cabrán is the very first word of the sentence, and there is no other part of the sentence (like a mid-stream capitalization. I was marked only partially right for capitalizing it and it "corrected" me to lower-case.
Cabrán todo mis libros en esa caja?
Isn't that correct? The quiz said it was supposed to be
cabràn todo mis libros en esa caja?
Not really a question but this lesson could be better if in included the three rules for plural
1# ends in vowel add s
2# ends in consonant add es
3# ends in z change to c and add es.
as far as I know this is correct
