Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hello, I would like a little help please.  In my head in order to differentiate between the imperfect past tense and the preterite past tense, I think "I used to...." to pick the imperfect.  In some of the examples here in kwiziq the "used to" is translated into English, such as here "Vosotros trabajabais en Madrid durante los años 80" as "I used to work in Madrid during the 80's"

However I have also seen "Soler" used for "used to" especially with 'IR" for used to go,

"Solía ir ..."
Is my "used to" translation for the imperfect to literal, and is it better to use "Soler" with verbs for "used to go" or "used to do" etc.
Sorry about the italics, I cut and paste a character and I can't turn them off!

I know that "no vayamos" is the correct negative command for "ir"; but I was under the impression, and my Barron's verb book confirms, that the correct affirmative imperative for "ir" is "vamos" not "vayamos".

When are irse and salir used? What's the difference?

Thanks

Ricky

I am getting confused with vuestro's use:

Am I correct in assuming the word "vuestros: is related to the "vosotros" informal usage in Spain that is not used in Latin America.

What I am wondering is;  What would be the LatAm version of the informal plural yours, i.e. vuestros?

It would be really helpful if these differences were noted here (and elsewhere as well)

(By the way: Well done on noting them in some of the lessons I've seen)

I find the Spanish use of "vos" confusing, as I have been learning the LatAm version. In addition, I am French, and in French the "vous" is formal!  Yikes!

Thank you for your time.

Hello,

I did a search to find  a lesson to learn these terms, but could not find any.  I did see the word "lejos" in a list in the directions lesson, but nothing else.

Could you tell me 1) how to look for lessons (will just doing a search find these?) and what lesson you have that would encompass this. Thank you. Nicole
