Please help me follow this explanation.

"We use the preposition "de" after the adjective..." by adjective do you mean facil/dificil?

when the subject is "the thing" (el armario) - Can you expand please as to what "the subject being the thing" means? What thing? What does thing refer to here?

"...not when the subject is "doing something" (montar el armario)." Isn't the subject always doing something? I don't understand this distinction.

All the examples are great and I can sense the pattern but I'd like something more concrete to be able to lock-in to the rule please :-)

No words for “With me”Hola, is “with me” implied? Don't get cocky with me."(HINT: ponerse chulo = to get cocky)
No te me pongas chulo.

I found this on
spanishdictionary.com:
No te pongas chulo conmigo; te conozco desde que eras un bebé.Don't get cocky with me; I've known you since you were a little baby.

Muchas gracias, Shirley.

El Futuro Simple

Does “¿Dónde estarán?” mean both “where will they be?” and “where might they be?” ?

I would think there would be different ways to express the two different meanings in Spanish.

A1 and A2 listening practises

Under the listening practises, there are some being read by a male speaker but is the accent of this male speaker from Spain? it seems like he has an unique accent that is unidentifiable.

What kind of accent is he having, may i ask?

And i have tried to post questions directly under the exercises but wont able to and received an error code 500.

Why not the Subjunctive in this example?

Diga a los señores Moreno y Ruiz que pueden pasar a mi despacho.

Is it incorrect to use "puedan" rather than "pueden" in this example sentence?

Thanks in advance,

Kaly

why add "me"

why do you add "me" as in me comería, or me compraría. Just for emphasis? Can one do away with the "me"?

lo mío son los pequeños placeres

Why is "lo mío" singular? Why not "los míos son" or "lo mío es"?

Dicen que el amor lo puede todo

Hi,

I don't understand how the above sentence can translate as 'They say that love conquers all'. There doesn't seem to be a word that would translate as to conquer.

Or am I missing something?

Gracias.

Saludos,

Colin

How would we express wish and feeling about events in the past?

For example,

"It bothers us that you never studied Spanish", or

"I'm so happy that your boyfriend went to Harvard".

"I wish we had met sooner"

Would we use the imperfect subjunctive?

Thanks.
