These verbs all mean "to turn", but are they the same?
Thank u so much
This seems to me to be too ambiguous (or maybe too subtle) to be used in a lesson.
Gabriel no podía meter las llaves en la cerradura anoche.
Carlos couldn't put the keys in the keyhole last night.
Without additional information, it appears that it could be either way, depending on the reader’s interpretation.
A great article which I thoroughly enjoyed and will watch and read a few more times. Why was the word "desgustar" used as: "bebidas para desgustar"? Is it an entendre doble somehow? Maybe disfrutar?
The lesson says:
We always use the singular form of verb gustar when followed by actions!
For example: Me gustan bailar y cantar.

I think I understand the answer, but the example seems confusing since in this case gustar is being used with multiple verbs
In the examples we have “llegar a casa”, “salgo de casa”, and there is also the expression “estoy en casa”. None of these expressions use articles. They also all use verbs of movement or location.
Do we ever use the definite article with “casa”, for example, to say “I’m going back to the house” by saying “Regreso a la casa”? Or does it change the English translation if we omit the definite article, that is, if we say “Regreso a casa” does it mean “I’m going back home”?
I know this is off topic but you use many rich examples that provoke questions.
RE" ¿Eres de Inglaterra?
Are you from England? (you=tú)
Hello, I hope you and the team are all doing well and keeping healthy!I have a question on the above:I'm suppose that means are you a native of England. But let's suppose that person came from England, but the person was visiting England and coming from there, would he/she still say:" Soy de Inglaterra"? Or would he/she have to totally rephrase it, and explain that they were visiting. How would you then state that you're from England, as you came from there.Thank you,NicoleHola,
I have not seen this type of construction before which i think translates as "Settling here ........" Is it just something common in Spanish that we learn as we go along or is there a lesson about it?
Another point .... would it be possible to get translations of the weekly lessons underneath the final transcript when the exercise is finished, so that we can check our understanding?
