Yesterday in a store I said to the owner "tiene todo." I was trying to say "you have everything."
He replied (I think) "tengo de todo." I wasn't sure if he was correcting me or not.
Did I get my question right? What was he saying?
Thanks so much, Tony
Te ________ hasta que me aburrí y me fui.I was waiting for you until I got bored and left.
Twice now I have entered 'estaba' but the correct answer is shown to be 'estuve'. I thought that when an action is either interrupted or where there is no specific beginning or end, it's the imperfect. Can you please clarify? Thank you.
When talking about forgetting things, these two forms are given:
- olvidar [algo]
- olvidarse" [de algo]
But what about forgetting someone?
Are these two forms then still correct?
I tried to use SpanishDictionary to translate tender and it didn't see it as a Spanish word. However, DeepL translated it as "clothesline" when I included it with a list of words (probably a DeepL bug). It translated "tender la ropa" as "tending the clothes". DeepL doesn't translate tender to an english word either. Also, the speaker sounds like she is saying "pender la ropa". I don't hear the "T".
Can you help me with this?

How do I cause my recommended lessons and associated quizzes to increase in difficulty within a specific level, a1, for example? It seems that the quizzes I take and my recommended lessons do not increase in difficulty. I feel like I'm standing still. Even though my brain map gets greener all the time.
Thank you, James
When should we use pues versus porque? In the text it was translated as "because" = "pues". Thank you!
I don't understand why in one sentence the lady says that she gets up early every morning (me levanto temprano) but in the next sentence she says "no me gusta madrugar". Are you just showing us that there are two ways to say that she gets up early? Isn't this a bit much for beginner Spanish!?!?
Paco ________ una manifestación en la ciudad. Your answer: Paco ha visto...Paco saw a demonstration in the city.(HINT: Conjugate “ver” in El Pretérito Perfecto)Why would this sentence use a perfect tense, when the event is clearly finished?Paco ha visto... - Paco has seen... is very different than Paco saw.
How many distinct classes of irregular verbs are there in the subjunctive present tense?
If it is possible to say, how many distinct irregular verbs that do not belong to a class, such as ir, are there in the subjunctive present tense?
Knowing the answers to these questions could help me form a strategy to learn them most effectively and efficiently. I would love to simplify the learning of this topic.
Thank you, James
