podía, pudo

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.

inscribirse a o inscribirse en?

Hello! I thought the hint for "to sign up for" was "inscribirse a." The correct response was "inscribirse en." Are both forms acceptable? Thank you!

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?

Why can't I add this to my notebook? It would be handy to keep.

¿Dónde quieres comer cuando salgamos esta noche?In order to use salgamos wouldn't querer need to be in the future -querrás? At least that is what I thought according to the lesson, but the choices in the question only gave answers using quieres so I didn't know how to apply the lesson to this question.

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!

Ver is regular in the pretérito indefinido?

Hola,

Is Ver "regular" if the accents are missing on the first and third persons singular conjugations?

Regards

John

Buenas tardes Inma,

My question isn't about demonstrative pronouns but it's in relation to the translation of one of the example sentences describing their usage.

In the 3rd example sentence which reads, 'Las faldas en esta tienda son bonitas' the English translation given is, 'They have nice skirts in this shop'. I thought that this would translate as, 'The skirts in this shop are nice'. The translation given would be 'Tienen faldas bonitas en esta tienda' in Spanish wouldn't it'? Is it an error here Inma or does it not have to be literal translation?

Gracias

Clara

Quantitative adverbsThis question is in the lesson about quantitative adverbs "In my opinion, the bosses seem too strict"? Please explain why the "too" is an adverb and not an adjective.
