Answer 1

• As a native speaker, have you ever paused, if even for a second, to decide between using 'para' or 'por' in a sentence?

• The same question goes for 'Ser' and 'Estar'.

  • Does the subjunctive confuse you sometimes?
  • Have you ever been corrected on using the preterit instead of the imperfect?
  • Have you ever had a difficulty remembering the irregular preterit conjugations?
  • How often do you use the 'usted' form in your daily life?

nice! I want to ask these! - elainepnj, Aug 16, 2011
