Spanish language Q&A Forum

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

I was looking for more practice.  I can't seem to find "fill in the blanks" for mucho, muchas, Muy and so on. The Kwiz only offers a sentence or two. Do you have a section just for intensifiers themselves?

Hello!

I was very dedicated and enthusiastic about learning Spanish until I hit a wall at A2. I still listen to my favorite Spanish songs and recite some of the basic verbs and their conjugations but it's definitely been several months since I even logged in to Kwiziq so it feels like I'm starting all over again. Any suggestions on how and where to start again? 

Thank you,

Why is the answer !Los coches que venden aquí son espectaculares!

It looks fairly similar to me?

I found the sentence, ¿por qué habría de asustar un sombrero?— me respondieron. I tried looking it up and apparently haber de can be used conditionally to express confusion of a topic. i think this is important as well as haber que, i saw it in a book although i can't remember the sentence haber que is apparently also another form of obligation like tener que

The test question "I always wanted to be a dentist." I answered "he querido" but correct answer was "quise" 

Isn't that a past action that continues into the present? - perfecto?

Anyway this particular topic seems to be all over the place. The goal of these questions shouldn't be trickery IMHO. We're learning to speak a language - not to be a textbook scholar - or at least that's my goal. I asked one of the many Spanish speakers where I work what they thought and they said "it could be either and I'd understand you."

Thank you for adding this topic. I'd like to make 2 suggestions. 

First, is there a regional preference for using the two pairs of interchangeable words? My understanding is that in Latin America, people tend to use aca' and alla' whereas in Spain, people tend to use aqui' and alli'. Is this correct? 

Second, I am not sure whether the pronunciation of ahi' and alli' are the same. Since "h" is silent and "ll" has the "y" sound, I suppose they sound differently, but the sounds /i/ and /yi/ really do not have much noticeable difference. Is there a way to practice distinguishing the two or we can more or less treat them as sounding the same? Thank you!
