I wonder if it would be possible to put each most recent sub-list link in this first post so we don't need to search for the post with the list? Thanks! - Findy, May 8, 2013

Findy, I am not sure what you mean by the sublink, but at the top of the directions is a blue link "Verbs to use" which has the 500 verbs. I'm not sure what you are asking. - katydew, May 8, 2013

Yup, sorry... got it now! ¡Gracias! - Findy, May 8, 2013

Hola amiga, just a quick correction for you, you used esto for que (that) & that is incorrect. Esto is a neuter demonstrative pronoun (used for abstract ideas or questions) meaning, this or these. . - EL_MAG0, Jun 23, 2013

Eso is another neuter demonstrative pronoun, it means that or those (right there) and then you have another neuter demonstrative pronoun, aquello, it means that or those (far away). - EL_MAG0, Jun 23, 2013

que = that. Just thought I'd help, I appreciate my corrections so I help out when I can. - EL_MAG0, Jun 23, 2013

Answer 14

14-279 invitar - to invite

invitan - they invite
invitaron - they invited
invitaban - they were invited inviting
invitarán - they will/shall invite

La invitaron a jugar pero se escapó, encontró un cuchillo, y le cortó sus cabezas!

They invited her/She was invited to play but she ran away, found a knife, and cut off their heads!

They were invited = 'se invitaron" (I think) and the English translation of "invitaban" = they were inviting. Those 2 sentences have 2 different subjects, one anonymous passive has invited them & in the other, they are the ones doing the inviting. - katydew, Jun 22, 2013

I wanted to convey that the mice were inviting her to play but she didn't. So I used "la" before "invitaron" rather than "se"? Man how do I get myself into these holes! lol - bandit51jd, Jun 22, 2013

I don't know about the sentence, I was talking only about the conjugation. I am nowhere near the level to correct Spanish sentences yet. ha. - katydew, Jun 22, 2013

Answer 15

     Lanzaré      I will throw

Good job, Gohern. - katydew, Jun 23, 2013
