Hola! Necesito un poco de ayuda con una frase. No entiendo porque en esta frases ''A continuación, agregue tomates triturados, alcaparras, aceitunas, una hoja de laurel y el bacalao desmenuzado a la sartén'' decimos ''a la sartén'' en lugar de ''en la sartén''. Gracias! :-)

When do I use imperfect or preterito with past progressive

Por favor, la última oración usa la frase "Creo que", y yo creyó que normalmente se necesite usar el subjuntivo después esta expresión... ?porqué no es "Creo que mañana vayamos a buscar más accesorios"?

Gracias

How does one determine whether to use "sido" or "estado" with haber in such instances as "I have been a good person..." or "I have been seen with ..." or "I have not been trying hard to..."?

Also, with regard to "he, has, ha....etc.", is this conjugation referred to as the present perfect indicative, the past perfect indicative (preterito perfecto), or both?

Hola! Would it be possible to have examples with each word? I find it difficult to contextualise without a sentence. Gracias!

When used as a compound adjective, as it is here, "last minute" requires a hyphen between "last" and "minute," thus: "last-minute." When it's inside a prepositional phrase, however, as in "he found offers at the last minute," no hyphen is necessary. 

The hints provided were not correct on this one. It asked for Preterito Perfecto when it was Preterito indefinido and so on. Take a look at this, please.

Cual es correcta?

1. No fuimos nosotras quienes hicimos caer a esa mujer.

2. No fuimos nosotras quienes hicieron caer a esa mujer.

Cual es la regla? #3 con 1 plural y #4 con 3 plural.

3. Somos nosotros quienes podemos hacer la diferencia.

We're the ones who can make a difference.

4. Seamos nosotros quienes se hagan ricos con esto.

So it might as well be us who get rich on it.

Gracias de antemano

Hola,

I have a particular interest in art, so I enjoyed doing this exercise. Yet, I have to agree with David that this lesson was possibly more challenging than the AI level. 

I needed to listen to the measurements several times because I was unfamiliar with the use of "veinte coma dos" for example. (Although, I should have guessed, since this is similar to the French use of a comma instead of a decimal point.) After the first measurement, I was able to understand the second one. A good learning experience for me. I am coming back to Spanish, and have a lot to review and much more to learn for the first time.

May I suggest that there is a link to a lesson about numbers with decimals? 

Gracias y Saludos

Hola Team Kwiziq,

Is it incorrect to place the No in a  No...nunca construction before the pronoun? I notice that one can say "No comes chocolate nunca" which made me believe that the no is always at the beginning of the sentence.

However "No nostotros te mentiríamos nunca" was incorrect and so was "No él estuvo intersesado".  I am guessing that no can be in front of a verb where the pronoun is implied (comes) but not in front of an  explicit subject pronoun (tú comes). Is this correct? Can you elaborate?
