Why is there a “th” sound in 19 or is this Castilian pronunciation?
I think trifle is British English. Can someone tell me what it means in American English?
No question....just a comment.
This is the kind of exercise I have been searching for! Thank you. By the way, I love your accent. As a beginning Spanish learner, it is easier for me to understand you than some of the other online teachers that I hear. I am curious....is Spanish your native language? I hope that someday I reach your level of fluency:)
Hola Inma, busco un listo de verbs de moviemiento. He buscado el internet. ¿Existe un listo de estos verbos? Gracias y que tengas una buena tarde.

For anyone struggling with how and when to use Sentir and Sentirse, just read both Silvia's and Inma's replies to Garry's question. It took me a good while to use the correct verb too.
The explanations given here by Silvia and Inma are invaluable and so comprehensive.
We are so lucky to have such a great team of teachers!
Hi,
Is this form the same as ponerse a hacer algo - as both lessons mention the inferred spontaneity in the decision.
For example could we say, 'me puse a limpiar la cocina ayer' and 'me dio por limpiar la cocina ayer' have the same meaning?
Thanks in advance:)
I assume in the example above salir, the infinitive is not used with después because después is being used as adjective not as a proposition?
It might be easier for an English speaker to think of "son" as "are" because it is not unnatural to say "two plus two are four," and to think of "igual a" as "equal to."
How am I supposed to choose the correct answers when the sentences and responses are all in English, not Spanish, and two of the English choices are the same?

(We don't want you to lie to your parents.)Using the "ustedes" form to conjugate "mentir" in The Present Subjunctive.Choices: lie, mint, lie, liedI think I'm finally getting more accustomed to listening to and comprehending spoken Spanish from a variety of places within Spain and other Spanish speaking countries, largely thanks to Kwiziq along with listening to podcasts and watching a lot of films on Netflix. It is the thing I struggle with most. Having lived for many years in the Canary Islands, I tend to better understand the Spanish spoken there, which I believe has a more Latin American or Caribbean style(?). My late dad was a Madrileño, and I don't do too badly with the Spanish speakers from that área in Spain either.
I'm grateful to this gentleman that recites a lot of the exercises for us, as he really forces me to listen carefully. I'm getting used to his way of speaking now thankfully! With this exercise I also learnt two new verbs: 'menospreciar'= to underestimate or to undervalue and from this verb 'preciar'= to appreciate.
Thanks to all at Kwiziq for all your hard work. Estoy muy agradecida.
Saludos :)
