I have both asked my Spanish teacher in Peru and done some research online to see if I could find any source that would have "lo mismo" meaning maybe in any context. It is possibly an error?
hello, when i push the button there is no sound. how do i solve this?
Apologies for asking so many questions lately, but I'm on holidays and have some time each day to study. :-)
Is it more common to say "los lunes" or "cada lunes"? Is there a preferred usage? (I don't hear "cada" being used very much here in Mexico but it could just be me.)
“Normalmente cena con la familia por la noche.” Not “mi familia”.
We’ve learned this usage for body parts and for articles of clothing. Is the usage the same with family members? Do we say, “Los lunes almuerzo con la hermana”? Thanks.
Por algunos dias voy de vacaciones

¡gracias!
Is the following example correct, as I want to add an "un"?
"Se vende apartamento de lujo en la playa. A luxurious apartment is for sale at the beach."
A luxurious apartment is for sale at the beach."Why is ser used in the exercise "El hombre fue acusado....." Why not use "El hombre acusó...." Is there a rule or custom about verbs with certain nouns.?
What would be the correct way to express losing a game?
(ex: "We lost the game [and the other team won]" vs. "We missed the game [because we arrived late]")
My problem is with the word ‘Indefinido’! It seems to convey the opposite of what is intended. Surely hubo conveys something defined and complete; whereas habia conveys an incomplete and hence ‘imperfect’ ( Latin root meaning not fully done) past event?
I just realized something about English: the preposition depends on the verb. For verbs of placement, we use “into”: He puts the clothing into the box. For verbs of location, we use “in”: The clothing is in the box.
Also we tend to say “on the beach” if we are nearby: Jorge is on the beach. But we say “at the beach” if we are in a different city: My friends are at the beach.
Hope this helps with your translations. When I teach basic English, the use of “in”, “on”, or “at” is one of the most challenging things for Spanish speakers.
