Why es “que flores” correct? I thought “cual flores” would be the correct response… the question was “what flowers do you prefer?”
The explanation says we always have to use the definite article with the activity. The example given there is tennis:...se me da bien al tenis. But in the quiz the correct response is "No se me da bien arreglar cosas". Is arreglar cosas not an activity? We have to actively arrange things/matters.
Thank you,
Sheila
Is there a general rule about when the definite article must be used? Eg, in this exercise why does ‘fortuna’ not have one while abundancia, prosperidad and economía do?
Gracias por este pasaje. ¡Disfruté mucho aprendiendo sobre esta tradición curiosa! Además, porque toda mi familia, o sea, mis abuelos y mis antepasados eran de Burgos.
También, el caballero que está leyendo este pasaje tiene una voz encantadora y muy clara. Muchas gracias por esto.
HI
Can you send me advance lesson on all tocar uses
Thanks
I see that, at the bottom of this lesson, there's a note that says what "pluscamperfecto" refers to. It's a very simple explanation -- to talk about something that had happened.
It would be SO helpful to have these short explanations of what a given grammar term means at the TOP of the lesson, just below the term for the lesson. I look at all these grammar terms and my eyes cross. I have no idea what they mean and I start to feel like there is no way I can learn Spanish because I'm so lost in all these terms. Taking the time to learn grammar terms seems like a tedious distraction from just learning to speak Spanish: a roadblock.
It's not uncommon for people in the US to have never learned grammar, so on behalf of myself, and all the mediocre public school graduates, I implore you: move the explanation for what a grammar term is to the top of the lesson. It's such a simple change and will make learning so much more accessible and these lessons so much more meaningful.
Please confirm if both the below sentences are correct in respect of the position of the subject of the sentence. Alguien se la dio la maleta and se la dio la maleta alguien.
Por qué se dice 'evitar propagar' en vez de 'evitar propagando'
To say "He must have closed the door.", does one simply switch to the present indicative of deber and say "Él debe haber cerrado la puerta." or can one stay with the simple conditional and say "Debería haber cerrado la puerta." and translate it into English as must or should, depending on context?
I think this issue boils down to trying to know when to translate deber as "should" or as "must". ¿Puedes ayudarme?
I think this lesson would be better if it started with an explanation of what an impersonal expression is.
