Why is Cómo estás? wrong when the question asks for all possible answers for asking an elderly man? What if an elderly man is asking another elderly man?
In another unrelated lesson, a quiz sentence states, 'No me queda mucho dinero pero tengo para dos cervezas más.' Where does this sentence fit in the various meanings of quedar, as explained in this lesson?
As far as I can see, the text doesn’t discuss ‘hasta’ which is listed as an option in the answers but marks as wrong. My dictionary seems to have some examples where ‘hasta’ is used for movement towards a place. What is the distinction?
If you are also an elderly man? Can you use "¿Cómo estás?" when greeting Gerardo?
No me gustan los tatuajes y por eso no tengo ________.
Shouldn't it be "ningunos" because tatuajes is masculine and plural?
I feel like I've heard some people use "bastante" to mean "a lot." Like, "En mi ciudad, hay bastantes lugares para salir." Is that accurate?
•Why do we have to use 'pero' in the first sentence?
•In the hint provided, it was given that tardar tiempo = take long, then in the answer key, why is 'mucho' used?
In the lesson you give examples for estar deseando in imperfect, but not for tener ganas de. I feel pretty sure I could use tener ganas de in imperfect as well, but neither seems to fit well with preterite.
Could you say more about how these two are used with other moods and tenses and what limitations, if any, exist.
EDIT: Sorry, I see you answered part of this in an earlier reply. However, could you indicate any other limitations that might apply. I wonder about subjunctive too.
