Quiz questions using venir instead of irI’ve noticed a number of examples in the quizzes where venir is used in a context where, in English, the verb ir would more likely be used. Is this just a product of constructing quiz questions or is there a communication nuance in Spanish that I’m not familiar with? Ex: Nosotros no vinimos al concierto de Shakira. I can’t think of a context in English where I would say I didn’t come to the concert. Rather, I’d say I didn’t go to the concert. Any insights on this? Gracias!

Preterite yo form

Good morning Kwiziq team,

As always I love your content.

I’m not sure if this is covered in another lesson, if so feel free to direct me to it! Just sometimes struggle to remember when the verb in the yo form of the preterite indefinido for “ir” verbs end in í or e.

I think it’s verbs like introducir that threw me off; is it because that one is an irregular verb ending in ducir? Just that you highlight the consonant change, but not that the ending changes too?

Kind regards,

Fran

Not able to see the list of conjugations

I am having a small issue. The summary box that should show the list of conjugations is empty. I have been seeing this issue recently with the future tense. Can you help with this?

por vs sobre

For the question "No hay muchas casas ________ el monte." meaning, there aren't many houses on the mountain, why wouldn't sobre work? If I wanted to say "there aren't many books on the table", wouldn't sobre be acceptable in that instance?

Había vs. Hay

In terms of usage, can había considered to be the the past tense of hay? Había =There was' vs. Hay = 'there is'?

what is the twist?

Even with the adjusted text I don't get the joke at all either.
