This word seems to change all the time! I had the wrong answer so next time it came up in a question I put the answer it gave me last time and it said wrong and gave the answer as the one I chose in the first place! This has happened several times. How and why does this word change?
Hi,
Sometimes a word ending with a consonant takes the diminutive suffix 'illo' and other times it takes 'cillo'. Is there a rule for this or do we have to remember which is which?
Best regards,

Hi!! I would like to ask a question. So I'm doing a presentation in Spanish and i want to use the present perfect subjunctive in the last sentence. I want to say "I hope you enjoyed my presentation". The dictionary says that it's "espero que les haya gustado mi precentación", but isn't "haya" the verb form for "usted" and not "ustedes"? Several people are going to listen to me, so I want to address them all. What do I say? Is it "espero que les hayán gustado mi precentación" or "espero que les hayáis gustado mi precentación", or is it the sentence I wrote earlier?
Thank you in advance!!
Is it correct that Mama Quilla era la hermana AND la esposa del dios Sol Inti?

Hola,
Me confunde mucho el uso de ¨ser¨y ¨estar¨ en la voz pasiva. ¿Podrían ustedes aclararlo?
Gracias.
'Padre'= cool, great, nice.
¡Ese es otro adjetivo padre que no conocía hasta que hoy!
¡Gracias Silvia! :))
Feliz Pascua a ti y a todo el equipo.
I know this keeps coming up, but in the examples we see: “las llaves de la casa”, and “la reserva de hotel”. Both these expressions follow the structure of NOUN + DE + NOUN. Why do we only use “la” for the first one?
'He recommended (to me) investing in the stock market'
I put 'me ha recomendado que invertiera en bolsa' recomendar + imperfect subjunctive.
This was marked wrong and the only alternatives shown being recomendar + infinitive 'me ha recomendado invertir en bolsa'
Why can't I use the subjunctive here?
Gracias
For this question about recibir in the imperfect, I inserted the "personal a" but it was marked wrong. Ayudame por favor!
In his small apartment he didn't receive guests. --> En su apartamento pequeño no recibía a visitas. (recibía was correct but adding a was marked wrong)
to add :
"doctor/a" for doctor
"supervisor/a" ; "gerente/dirigente ; manager (voz inglesa)" for manager/supervisor
"representante" for representative, agent, manager
