Hi,
I am confused about when to include an 'a' between two consecutive verbs. My search seems to indicate the it depends on the former verb. If so, is it something that has to be memorised with the verb or is there a rule of thumb?
Thanks and regards,
Colin
The sentence "Now I want to repeat it!" is translated as ¡Ahora quiero repetir!
Why doesn't Spanish need an object pronoun here?

Perhaps it would be helpful with these various stem changing verb lessons to explain more clearly that the vowel changes only affect the vowels when they are in syllables that are stressed, rather than giving the impression that the nosotros/as and vosotras/os forms are just arbitrary exceptions. I think that grasping that makes it a lot easier to internalize the pattern than just trying to memorize exceptions without understanding why they work that way.
You say "Ustedes" which is plural but you translate it as "you" in the singular in the answer, so the learner does not know which answer to choose.
isn't this first answer supposed to be "he gustado", since it is first person singular? And isn't the second answer supposed to be he interesado for the same reason?
Hi,
My question: Why the "ser" verb is used in this sentence instead of "estar" Nuestras vidas pueden ser muy ocupadas con la pareja?
As I learned, we have to use estar in the sentences like these: Estoy ocupado, estás muy feliz, etc. I am confused a bit.
Rafa, el muy egoísta ... : Rafa, [being] such an idiot ....
Shouldn't the translation be "Rafa, [being] such an egotist"...? Or perhaps ""Rafa, the egotistical jerk"
The answer given is ....a ella le terminará / acabará cansando
Would it be possible to say ..... a ella le terminará / acabará por cansar ?
Gracias
En la frase: "What a very nerdy person I am!" ¿porque se traduce la palabra inglesa "very" con la palabra española "más"?
I´m wondering how do you know when to use "conocí" or "conocía"?
