I don't believe in Florida.. - annierats, May 12, 2014

why not? - actorgirl, May 12, 2014

Florida is just an imaginary place, there isno proof that it exists. None. I've never seen it. I can see the Moon. - annierats, May 12, 2014

@Annierats - I am so close to dying of laughter right now! - 00ffada9, May 12, 2014

I have seen pictures of it. :) Sweden is an imaginary place...there is no proof for its existence. I have never seen it. I can see the moon. :) - actorgirl, May 12, 2014

@HCA, don't die, you add a lot to SD. Who will take over the picture of the day? - actorgirl, May 12, 2014

Are we supposed to pick out the lie or what we think is true? Sorry...I think I am doing it wrong. - 007c5fc1, May 13, 2014

Pick out the lie. No problem :) - actorgirl, May 14, 2014

@ RAC: no creo que sea misionaria, A menos espero que no. I don't believe the mission trip, why would missionaries go to Mexico?

No creo que has estudiado español por tantos años en este sitio. I don't believe you've spent that long here. No.

Answer 4

Tener with age: "cuando TENIA nueve anos" Haber with perfect tense"HE volado" y "HE utilizado" For #3 I would say " las cuatro clases principales de transporte" instead. Your sentence doesn't make much sense. Now on to the game!

:) I have flown over forest fires in a small plane...several years ago in Canada when they were pretty bad. We saw a lot of smoke, but not tons of fire. - actorgirl, May 12, 2014

Bushes in Alaska? No wonder you poor wife is making up for lost time in the shops! - annierats, May 12, 2014

Yeah, they have bushes, because it's too cold for trees. :P jk - actorgirl, May 12, 2014

But no shops! - annierats, May 12, 2014

I think the lie is about the volcanoes...but then again, I have no idea. Both the first and last could be lies, or truths. :) - actorgirl, May 14, 2014

Both the first and the last are true. It was a halibut. The females grow to be enormous. The volcanoes are Augustine, Iliamna, and Redoubt. - AnnRon, May 18, 2014
