Hello,
One of the questions involved translating a sentence that mentions a “youngest daughter.” I used “muy joven” but the answer was “pequeño.” I thought that pequeño means small, so this use of the word surprises me. Is it just one of those things one has to know?
Thanks for your help!

What is the difference between ‘el pretérito perfecto’ and ‘el pretérito perfecto compuesto’ ?
When is "de la mañana" used?
¿es posibe usa detestar en lugar de odiar?
On the quiz, there was the statement "El hecho de que yo quiera ir al concierto contigo no nos hace pareja." I thought hechos (facts) were expressed in the indicative?
Hola Inma,
"Cuando le conocí", is this a case of leísmo?.
My answer was lo conocí and it's been marked wrong.
Could you, please, explain?
Saludos

Hello,
I have had a lot of difficulty distinguishing between choosing whether a verb is in the imperative or subjunctive in some complex sentences.
Is there a clear way to determine this?
For example, I'm not sure which of the 3 categories in the lesson, this sentence I came across and failed to identify as subjunctive, would fall under:
"Al final será el consumidor quien pague la factura."
I would have used the present or imperative here more so. (Would it be possible?)
Thank you,
Nicole
If I am 70 and my neighbour is 50, why can´t I use tú instead of usted?
Gerunds are nouns formed from verbs. The "ing" words you are translating here are called present participles. Gerunds & present participles have the same form in English, but they are different in Spanish. Eg. I like dancing=me gusta bailar. I am dancing= Estoy bailando.
