Spanish language Q&A Forum

I'm having difficulty distinguishing how to phrase the following two sentences in Spanish:

My old friend is visiting me today.  (meaning he and I have been friends for a very long time.)

My old friend is visiting me today. (meaning my friend is very old in years.)

Notice how in Spanish we need toadd "y" between the tens and the units (cincuenta y cuatro). Three thousand six hundred and six.

This very lesson says that 'normalmente' signals the simple present, the so-called correct answer was the progressive. 

Am I missing where the English translation is? I can't imagine I would need to copy/paste the entire passage (and only at the end, when it's available) and go to another site to find the translation. That would be silly since this site is presumably designed to teach me Spanish..? 

When do we know it its te or tu gusta is it just dependent on if it is a reflextive verb or not

Is it correct that Mama Quilla era la hermana AND la esposa del dios Sol Inti?

Gracias,

When SE is used in a sentance, how kan we know if it referes to a "he" or a "she"??

Examples taken from your grammer:

Prepara la carne para el = Preparasela = Prepare it (the meat) for HIM

Firmen el documento para ella = Firmenselo = Sign it (the document) for HER

Here is another example of the nonuse of an article in Spanish that I do not understand.  "The city was an environmental model" is "la ciudad fue modelo ambiental" not "un modelo ambiental".  I do not understand why there is no indefinite article like there is in English.

If I wanted to say 'i may be going away on that day'  would I use ir, irse or another verb? Also, would the verb be in the subjunctive?

Thanks in advance
