This is the first time I have met 'la banca' as feminine. Is there a difference in meaning of "la banca" and "el banco"? Is there a difference between "la banca online" and "el banco online"? 

Hello, like many people I struggle between choosing the imperfect or indefinido tense.

In this exercise, the sentence below was correct,

"pero ayer el guiso de mamá tenía carne,"

Please would you help me understand why the imperfect tense is correct, I had understood that the use of a time clause "ayer" would have made it indefinido.

Thanks

Please help me with “Me encanta tu casa”. I understand “Me gusta” as it pleases me.  However I have difficulty applying this to “It loves (encanta)  me your house”.  

Are “que” and “quien” mostly interchangeable as relative pronouns when talking about a person? Or is there a subtlety that I’m missing? I always feel a little unsure when I use “quien” because it seems like Spanish speakers use “que” more often.

¡Hola!

Let's have a look at the following sentences:

1) Mis padres querían que estudiara Derecho

2) Susana quería que le hubiera traído fresas, pero no pude

Could you tell me if Pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo is used in the second sentence to emphasize  that somebody didn't manage to bring strawberries, however the result of the first one is unknown?

Regards,

It has been suggested to me that "deber" in the present tense (and other tenses as well) can be best translated as "must" and that "debería" (in the conditional tense) can be best translated as "should". Is this a reasonable supposition, or would you prefer to put forth a better way of translating this (sometimes enigmatic) verb?

Hello,

I did a search to find  a lesson to learn these terms, but could not find any.  I did see the word "lejos" in a list in the directions lesson, but nothing else.

Could you tell me 1) how to look for lessons (will just doing a search find these?) and what lesson you have that would encompass this. Thank you. Nicole
