I was reading this sentence:
The cat walks out the window.
El gato sale a la calle por la ventana.
It seemed to me that this means more like: The cat go out through
the window. So I put it into Google, which gave:
Google: The cat goes outside through the window. Then tried another site:
Reverso: The cat walks out the window.and they translated it as: The cat walks out the window.
I would appreciate getting a clarification on this. Thank you.
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.

Number 7 does not seem right. Yo fui medico. Isn’t fui mean to go? I am confused.
In the sentence "Él me trata tan especialmente como tú." why is tú used here rather than a ti - Él me trata tan especialmente como a ti. I'm assuming it is the function of the word as which is what here a preposition or a conjunction. As an aside what might be the most accurate English in this sentence, especially or specially?
In the quiz I just took, I was supposed to translate "that famous film". I said "Esa película famosa" and was marked wrong. The answer was "aquella película famosa".
Given that the usage is somewhat subjective, and depends on how close the person feels to the object, shouldn't "esa" also be correct?
Edited to add: looks like I can't delete the question. I just went back to my quiz results, and it looks like there's a hint that I missed, that the speaker was feeling distant from the film. So that explains it.
Why is it "fue (indefinido) muy emocionante" but "mis contrincantes eran (imperfecto) muy bueno"?
And why is it "fue muy emocionante" rather than "estaba / estuve muy emocionante"? There is a lesson entitled "Using estar (not ser) when talking about emotions".
