Proteger becomes protejo in first person present tense. Can’t you pretty much always dro the o and have the stem for the present subjunctive? For me, it is easier to remember.
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!
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".
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.

In Spanish, the structure "Tan...como" is referred to as a "comparative structure".
What is the name of the structure that utilizes "Tan...que"?
Is "suficiente" known more for "enough of" just like adequate and is bastante more known for "plenty" like enough, but more than just enough? I saw a native say suficiente go on about how they use suficiente=enough and bastante=plenty. I believe you can use suficiente before and after the noun, although with bastante is it only before the noun?
My dictionary says fruit (the plant) is la fruta. Why is the sentence -Los frutos rojos and not las frutas rojas ?
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.
Considering acordarse vs recordar, is one more common than the other in LatAm Spanish for talking about remembering? Also, is there a lesson that talks about when to use and not use “de” with acordarse? Gracias!
Hola,
Is Ver "regular" if the accents are missing on the first and third persons singular conjugations?
