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. 

Why do we say "ciento por ciento"? Ciento is more than one hundred so shouldn't it only be cien por ciento and cien por cien?

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.

Hola

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

In relation to "después de que", I have questions:

(1) why "hallase" (instead of "se halla") is used in this sentence:

"...es el final de un camino [...] después de que la Guardia Civil hallase en la 'tablet' de la víctima un enigmático mensaje."

(2) what construction is this? what are the grammar rules?

Muchas gracias.

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?

Hola. Solo para que sepan... 

Esta pregunta apareció en el Quiz. Mi cuenta tiene la versión latinoamerica activada, y normalmente no vemos preguntas sobre conjugaciones de vosotros porque no la usamos. 

Es probable que ________ en el intento.It's possible that you'll die trying.(HINT: Using the "vosotros" form, conjugate "morir" in El Presente de Subjuntivo.)

Why was "por lo tanto" marked wrong in this test? It is perfectly correct, isn't it?
