Hola,
In this statement, just wondering why there is the preposition after llamamos?
Después de la fiesta llamamos a un taxi.
I know we have a lesson on prepositions for movement verbs, and guess this comes under the 'purpose' part of that?
Do you have any resources (or planned) to go into this a bit more?
Gracias,
I am confused by this list of words like tener. Is it correct that DETENER means both to stop and arrest? This seems logical. MANTENER seems to mean both maintain and to keep, but what is the distinction between MANTENER and MATENER? Does SOSTENER mean both to support and to maintain? Does it also mean to sustain?
There is an error above.
The question was : How would you say "If you did some exercise, you would lose weight faster." ? I understand the principle of using the subjunctive followed by the conditional simple. I don't understand why there are 2 answers.
Si hicieras más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Si hicieses más ejercicio, perderías peso más rápido.Becky
Why whenever I use sobre in a sentence its followed only by 'la/el'? These examples are taken from the course I'm doing on Duolingo.
E.g. El gato esta sobre la mesa.
But if I use debajo its followed by 'de la/el'.
Mi celular esta debajo de la ropa.
Is there a reason for this?
Why does one use just 'la/el' but the other needs the 'de' to be marked correct?
Just a note that, by and large, a literal translation mostly works here as well, although the construction sounds a little English (vs. American) to me. To wit: "They will have gone to bed upon arriving at the hotel because the trip was very long" is perhaps an unusual phrasing in modern conversational (American) English, but certainly not an unintelligible one, and I think it carries the same meaning.
Hola,
re: the following sentences:
Kwizbot no solo en España sino también en el extranjero.
You no solamente en España pero también en el extranjero.
I was wondering if you could explain why solamente is not an acceptable choice. Thanks for your help

I would like to ak why is the accent in the audio on the second syllable?
Hi, I know someone asked this question earlier, but still this "ya que" bugs me.
There must be some kind of difference in choosing between "ya que" and "porque".
Can you help me understand when to use which?
Thank you!
Nicole
can ¡Qué loco! be written as ¡cuánto loco! ?
Can i also say 'no necesitas más que obtener una licencia matrimonial' ?
