Hi, why is terminarse (vs terminar) used here: “no quería que se terminara”, (I didn’t want it to end). Thanks a lot,

Shirley.

Using 'a donde' vs 'adonde'

I used 'a donde' as on of three possible answers, but was marked wrong:

IMPORTANT

For the long forms adónde and adonde, it is also perfectly acceptable to write them as two separate words:

adonde = a dondeadónde = a dónde

For example:

Iremos adonde/a donde tú quieras.¿Adónde/a dónde vas?

Translation of madre de día

Hola,

I was wondering what the English term is for "madre de día". I have searched online and didn't find anything that would fit well.

I believe it would be "day care worker"?

Thank you and I hope you and yours and the team and their families are all doing well in these difficult times.

Nicole

It is foggy. It is sunny

Why does the lesson say to use Hay with “It is foggy” but Está with “It is sunny”? I would think both would use Está

Also the lesson says to use Hay when it is followed by a noun, but Foggy is an adjective.

Thanks for your help!

Cómo estás Hello, about the question: "Pedrito, how are you? " My answers were: ¿cómo estás?, ¿qué tal? and ¿cómo está?. The bot took my third choice as non correct. At the explanation tab however, it states : "even when we greet a person using their first name, we can still use a formal greeting as a sign of respect for an elderly person or because we feel that person prefers a more formal approach - in this instance we can still use the formal question: "¿Cómo está?", for example: Carmen, ¿cómo está?" So, I dont understand why cant we use the formal type for Pedrito too. I would think because he is a child but still a child could have the right to prefer a more formal approach. What is the case here, and why is the question: "Pedrito, ¿cómo está? wrong?
