In "Ella era modelo," why is this not "
"Ella era modela"? Is model a masculine word regardless of who is the model?
Ricky
Yo veía lo que el hacía/hizo.
Would the first verb mean that e.g. I saw how he was building something and the second that I saw the reault... e.g. a house? Thank you.
When and how is "habian" used?
I ask because in the recording for "Yo vivo en Córdoba" it's a "yo" sound. But for the "Yo vivo en el barrio de Gràcia" recording it's a soft j sound resulting in "jo".
When I practice at Duolingo I also sometimes here the y vs. j difference. Are both interchangeable in Spanish? If no, what are the rules for choosing j vs. y?
Or, is the recording audio simply not of good quality?
