I don't get it__________ mucho esta noche.
I answered: "He bebido"
I answered this because:
"The use of El Pretérito Perfecto in Latin America depends on regional variations but in general we can say it's restricted to actions started in the past that continue in the present or are not finished, or recent past actions the speaker wants to emphasise."
"I drank a lot tonight" seems like a recent past action...
What am I failing to understand here?
There's also this part:
"However, in general most Latin American Spanish speakers don't really observe this difference between El Pretérito Indefinido and El Pretérito Perfecto. Most of Latin America tends to just use El Pretérito Indefinido, while in the Andean region speakers tend to just use El Pretérito Perfecto."
So... I have two contradictory sets of information given to me... which one do I use?
What is Tengo's exact meaning.
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´?
Ojala, ustedes ganen el primer premio.
Whenever I answer a fill in the blank question with anything other than que or quien(es) it is marked wrong. The multiple choice seem to work fine.
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.

There’s too much new material in this lesson. I was only familiar with present subjunctive. To introduce two new subjunctive tenses here is a little much.
really enjoyable seeing the action described so clearly
do you think you could give the translation into english of the dictation exercises at the end? - as it would be helpful thanks :)
Hola
In a lesson, the question asked about the Canary Islands. Since the islands will always be in the ocean, I answered "son' instead of "estan" and it was wrong.
