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.

Hello,

re: Lo que pase con tu madre no es tu culpa .  

I came across this sentence containing "Lo que" but for the life of me, can't figure out (by only looking at the Spanish) that "lo que" here means "whatever" and would therefore trigger the subjunctive. 

How can I tell what is being intended by just reading such a sentence and be able to choose between "what" and "whatever"?

Thank you,

Nicole

¡Hola!

Could you tell me if it is indicativo or subjuntivo that  follows the expression:

¿No es cierto que...?

Regards,

Alexander

Judging by an answer provided for a question below, "me gustaria" is equivalent to the three "queria" forms. That's good news because I've been using "me gustaria" most often. Should that be added to the examples in this lesson?

Also, does this lesson imply that the above three forms are more polite than simply "quiero?" I've asked many here in Colombia about this and they all say that "quiero" is much more common than "me gustaria" and not considered impolite. But still, I have trouble making myself say "quiero" so i usually say "me gustaria." Maybe I should start using "queria."

I guess I have a lot of confusion around "quiero" vs. "queria" vs. "gustaria" and their proper grammar and appropriate usage.
