Hola

Gracias de antemano
Level B2: Using desde que / hasta que (since/until) with Spanish indicative and subjunctive (subordinate time clauses)
I have trouble understanding why the question "Do you always choose your own clothes?" has the correct answer ¿Ustedes eligen siempre su ropa? I don't understand why ustedes is used instead of the singular usted, i.e. ¿Usted elige siempre su ropa?
Many of the test questions use what I think is the plural form when it is referring to one person. I don't doubt that the answer is correct usage, I just don't understand why ustedes is used sometimes when referring to one person.
Thank you
Hola, tengo una pregunta sobre una frase que encontré en un libro que estoy leyendo. El párrafo dice: "Pero había un problema: si se quedaban allí juntos, no habría comida ni agua suficientes para todos."
Mi duda es: ¿Por qué se utiliza el imperfecto de indicativo ("se quedaban" en esta oración condicional en lugar del imperfecto de subjuntivo ("se quedaran") ? Si ambas son correctas, cual es la diferencia?
Gracias de antemano
But correct answer is "...and can be unstable" (the weather') y puede
SER variable / cambiante / inestable. (I put puede estar variable)
This was a question on one of the quizzes:
Which of the following articles could you use with the letter "t" in Spanish: "te"? Then it listed “la, el, una, un” as options to choose from.
I was unsure if it was referring to a word that started with the letter t, or the drink té, or the indirect object te.
Kinda confusing.
En este grupo de frases, ¿es que "las" significa implícitamente “las cosas”? O sea, ¿es que una frase como “vamos a arreglárnoslas para que todo vaya bien” se puede entender como “vamos a arreglarnos (las cosas) para que todo vaya bien”? ¡Gracias por la ayuda!
that is usually taken with a mobile phone
I put 'que suele se hace con un teléfono móvil' which was corrected to
'que habitualmente se hace con un teléfono móvil' or 'que suele sacarse con un teléfono móvil'
Is my answer gramatically incorrect or is it a matter of style?
Gracias
I noticed a few mistakes here in this lesson. In some areas, for the "tu", "ellas/ellos", and "nosotros/nosotras" forms of "acaber" there are double "ba" syllables. For example, there's "acababas" instead of "acabas", "acababan" instead of "acaban", and "acababamos" instead of "acabamos". I've double checked elsewhere to verify the correct spellings of these forms and nowhere else did I find the double "ba" syllables.
Dear Inma,
What is the reason for having the part "De tanto/tan poco que/como + indicative" instead of "De tanto que/como + indicative" with "De tan poco que/como + indicative" being covered in the previous part "De tan+ adjective/adverb + que/como + indicative"?
Best regards, Janusz
The answer appears to treat estar as a verb like gustar. It doesn´t appear as such in your list. What am I missing?
