    Gustar imperfect vs preterite question? If I want to say "I liked the movie." which tense would I use? I thought it would be imperfect (me gustaba) because I continue to like the movie from the past to the current point in time, so its not a defined point in the past, but I saw a sentence where it was written in preterite (me gustó la película), so which one is correct? Thank you!

    "During hospitalization her overall cardiac functions has improved" 

    **functions have improved

    "The patient was reviewed by a physiotherapist to educate cardiac exercise programmes" 

    **to educate her in cardiac


    "to reduce her body weight and please provide her low cholesterol diet."

    **provide her with a low cholesterol diet.



    "please arrange a visit with social worker to assess her sick allowance."

    **with a social worker

    **also, sick allowance sounds weird to me. Maybe payment options or financial capabilities would be better?

    Overall it sounds really good, great job!

    "I hope that you studied"---confused about spanish subjunctive If I have the sentence "I hope that you studied" would the dependent clause be subjunctive? Or would I use preterite? So: "Espero que hayas estudido" or would I say "Espero que estudió"

    So this is a pretty weird sentence--I'm a native English speaker and we definitely don't say this so I'll give you my best interpretation of it. I think that this is referring to the idiom "to burn rubber," which is referring to how rubber tires burn and smoke forms when the car moves really fast. So basically, the author is saying that this person's arm is "rubber" and it's moving so fast that its burning and causing smoke to form. Hope this helps! -Savannah

    Esto tiene sentido? Necesito ayuda con el español >_< Hoy mis clases canceló porque a el huracán en mi cuidad. El huracán se llama "Michael" y destruyó muchas cosas así que mi familia es rezando para la gente quien no pudieron irse. Aunque no pude ir a mis clases hoy, todavía estudié. Quiero ser una doctora (una cirujano) así que, necesito estudiar frecuentemente, pero es difícil entender lo que trato de leer hoy porque la lluvia hace ruido fuerte. Lo siento que mi español es malo! Espero que ustedes pueden entender este diario! gracias, Savannah

    Portuguese and Spanish

    I was thinking about Spanish and Portuguese and how similar and different are these ("how similar and different these languages are from each other") languages from each other. The most of people think ("Most people think"): it's better (I think "easier to learn Spanish" would sound better here instead of "better") learning Spanish if you're a speaker of Portuguese and vice versa.
    However, for me it's kind of tricky because sometimes I just get confused about the vocabulary and thinking ("I think"): "okay, this is Portuguese but is it Spanish too?". There are a lot of words ("that are") similar and both languages share a great spectrum of vocabulary. In that point I get confused.
    I think the similarity is good for almost everyone less for me (This sentence confuses me... do you mean: "I think the similarity is beneficial for most people, but for me this make learning difficult"). Of course, the shared vocabulary makes things easier but I mix the vocabulary on ("in") my mind. Sometimes I use Portuguese words instead of Spanish and this makes learning harder in a certain way.
    So, I'm afraid of learning "Portuñol", a mix of both languages, instead of Spanish. Well, we will see soon how it will end, lol

    What size is your town? What is the nicest part of your town? Where do you go in the evenings?

    Hello Carlos,

    I live in a small city which has nice beaches where you can go swimming,relax or do running barefoot (here we would say " or run barefoot"--in english we never say "do running") on the sand.
    My favourite place is the park where I usually go to read in the evenings.

    Take care ,
    Sam
