Spanish language Q&A Forum

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."

Hola, 

si no me equivoco debería escribir "suspense" en lugar de "supense" tal y como está escrito en el texto.

Gracias,

Alice

The answer given is ....a ella le terminará / acabará cansando

Would it be possible to say ..... a ella le terminará / acabará por cansar ?

Gracias

it said i selected aprobaban but I selected aprobaron - so there is some problem with the question/answer key.

I´m wondering how do you know when to use "conocí" or "conocía"?

I recently read "se queda embarazada", and I also found it on 20Minutos. However, apparently, being pregnant is not a permanent change. Is this considered a special case?

El menor = el más pequeño

El peor = el más malo

How does it work for :-

el/la/los/las+ más/menos + pequeño/-a/-os/-as  = menor/menores

el menos pequeno =? the least smallest - would you use the biggest - el más grande?

el/la/los/las + más/menos + malo/-a/-os/-as  = peor/peores

el menos malo=?  does this translate to the least bad - would you use el más bueno?

Thanks

Hola

¡Lo que charla tu madre! 

y

¡Cuánto charla tu madre! 

estas frases son intercambiables? significan más o menos lo mismo?

(no importa, veo que esta pregunta ya ha sido hecha)

One of the examples given is: "Nadie responde...lo mismo el restaurante ha cerrado."  Can you say the same thing and exchange "lo mismo" for "quizas": "Nadie responde...quizas el restaurante haya cerrado."?  

I am having trouble understanding the difference between "perderse" and "perder" in the context of missing an opportunity.  For example, if you were talking to someone about not coming to a move with you, could you say "perdiste la oportunidad de ver la pelicula"?  Could you also say "te perdiste la pelicula"?  Would both of these be correct?
