I think 55% and 37% should be written in letters for the sake of pronouncing "porcentaje"

Would a better translation be "it would be good if the bank gave us the loan" ?

In this exercise the preterit 3rd person singular of "creer" is shown as "crió" whereas in my other Spanish dictionaries it is shown as "creció". Is the former conjugation specific to Latin America whilst the latter (creció) is specific to Spain?

hi,

i would like to clarify a few questions.

Este día tan especial = This special day - why do we use ´tan´?

el día siguiente = the following day - i might have mistaken, but i thought ´siguiente´ is to be placed before the noun ´día´?

Algo que no entiendo :

*Aguafiestas* - party crasher ( de donde/por que agua ?)

*Agua Anoche* -  Que significa ? (water last night not possible)

Escuché en varios lugares (canción/calle), una jerga española ?

Gracias de antemano

Just want to draw attention to my unanswered question below.

Hola!

Solo un FYI, la grabación salta en la tercera frase.

Gracias

Hi

Could the above sentence be written without 'sobre'?  As it would then be similar to the English sentence.  If not what difference does sobre make to the meaning of the sentence?

Best regards,

Colin

Your article says: "In most places El Pretérito Indefinido will be used with "nunca" and "siempre" and even with time expressions which have a connection to the present, such as: hoy, este mes, este año, esta noche, esta mañana, esta semana..."

On a quiz, I used the indefinido in a question with a "time expression which has a connection to the present" (i.e. "hoy") and got the question wrong-- it was corrected to the perfecto. 

Is there something wrong with what I did? Are the quizes looking for peninsular or latin american answers?
