Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi and thanks for all your work. This is a good breakdown however I still remain confused when two nouns  don't require - de- between them

For example in a book I'm reading " el êpico fracas de Arturo Zamora" Theres a part that that says

Consejo ciudadano. ( citizen council)

This isn't the first time two nouns are next to each other without a " De" inbetween  but I don't see the difference between this and something like

La sopa de Pollo

Should la mayoría be followed by son? La mayoría isnt plural.

Why would the 'tu' form go into this sentence, is it not talking of 'he' so shouldn't it be the 'el' form - pone??                                                                      I get this now...it's 'you' who is doing the 'putting' isn't it. 'He' is the person it is being done to.           Spanish is sooooooo confusing sometimes my brain just feels like mush!

I disagree strongly with this answer. Despite the fact that the future tense can be used for speculation, the norm in conversation is "Qué pasa?" in everyday conversations. At best, both responses should be marked correct. I think it would be well for Kwiziq to center responses on normal, everyday conversations in quizzes rather than obscure literary ones.

The phrase "not be much for" is more idiomatic and translates to "not enjoy" or "not be in the habit of". I have never heard it used in the positive, however. You might say "He's not much for taking walks" to mean "He doesn't enjoy taking walks".  However, I have never heard something like "He's much for taking walks". There's a positive version that's a bit more enthusiastic: "to be a great one for".  For example, "He's a great one for playing practical jokes".

Podemos usar yo de ti en vez de yo que tú aqui?  Intentó "yo de ti" pero estuvo marcado como error. ?Por qué?

How can I know which form of the ordinal number to use? For example, twelfth has three forms. Are there particular circumstances when one is called for in lieu of another?

Sorry for not writing in Spanish. I´m not there yet.W
