de punta en blanco - wordreference is giving me a different definition. could this be reviewed? thank you!

"Cuánto falta?" means "how much longer".

Can't it also mean "how much do I owe you?"

For example, if you're paying for something with cash and you gave them some bills but still owe them a few coins to reach the total..?  (how many coins are still needed?)

Thank you!

When I was a teacher we called this type of thinking "categorization", being able to tell things apart.  Nicely done.

I don't understand how the text is "periphrasis" - in a roundabout way. How might it have been written other than the way it was?

Esto dice un bebida interesante de Paraguay. Que es un comida importante en Paraguay?

why did it say it was wrong in the first part

the correct answer to what do you think? is ¿qué piensas? but can we write as "qué te pareces?"

and looking forward to your reply, should we include a preposition 'A'? ¡Espero a tu respuesta! or without a is then the correct one?

Hi,

I am also a little confused by this lesson.  I accept that they must be used as written but as the former modifies an adjective and the other a verb, how does this relate to the sentence above?  Do they both relate in different ways to the second part of the sentence?  Also, although they have the same translation, is there any difference to a Spanish speaker?

I need to understand when to apply each so that I don't make a mistake.

Gracias y saludos,

Colin

In the first two paragraphs it says "de" is followed by a noun, but the examples all appear to place "de" before an adjective with the noun preceding "de." Can you explain this conundrum? Thank you.
