In the quiz, I selected "Había muchos niños en el parque." This was marked wrong, rather, "Hubo muchos niños en el parque."
I'm wondering why my answer was marked wrong, given that one of the examples in the lesson is nearly identical to my answer: "Había un perro en el parque."
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?
¿Se puede usar solo "cuales" como pronombre relativo? ¿O se necessita siempre usa con el/la/los?
Is there a comprehensive rule for when to use (or not use) PARA before an infinitive? I sometimes encounter examples where para is used without the sense of "purpose" that is supposed to trigger the use of "para." In other words, I can't use the rule "in order to" to translate these sentences.
Cuándo estaba en Australia, tenía muchos problemas para hablar inglés.
Tuvimos muchas dificultades para encontrar la parada de autobús.
Fue un día demasiado bueno para quedarse adentro.
When I'm requested to answer a question including the word 'you' as in 'do you like...?' it doesn't specify whether you are asking one person or more than one. I have answered for one person and the answer has been the plural answer so it says I'm wrong.
When I was a teacher we called this type of thinking "categorization", being able to tell things apart. Nicely done.
This word seems to change all the time! I had the wrong answer so next time it came up in a question I put the answer it gave me last time and it said wrong and gave the answer as the one I chose in the first place! This has happened several times. How and why does this word change?
Hi,
I completed a test today on the above topic. The sentence included the word 'cuidálo' but I cannot find it in my dictionary or the online dictionary I use.
I assume it means to treat or take care of.
Gracias.
Colin
It seems like it would be helpful if; when there is a statement and a response, that there would be two different speakers. This would give a conversational quality to the example.
