Please help! I don't understand why "Buenos tardeS" is "good afternoon" and yet this answer requires "tarde". I looked it up on Spanishdict.com and I still don't understand.

[TykaBooker]

The literal translation of "buenas tardes" is "good afternoons". https://www.spanishdict.com/answers/206196/the-reason-behind-buenos-das

I wrote tomar un te and it marked me wrong. It said bebo un te. What's the difference??????!!!!!!!!

[TykaBooker]

Because you need to conjugate "tomar". It needs to be "tomo".

[CaseyDaven2]

Well, if you write "tomo un té", it should be correct.. it's very common to say... although technically "tomar" means to take and "beber" means to drink.

Why is it that sometimes the first word in the word bank begins with a capital and sometimes doesn't

[Fidae97135]

It's likely a difference in the programming for each question.

"Por la tarde" vs "en la tarde"? I remember in school, we were always taught por la tarde. Does anyone know if they're interchangeable, or subtly different, or perhaps regionally differently?

[Carol_theDabbler]

Can anyone explain why "té" has an accent mark? It's only one syllable, so it would not be possible to put the stress on the wrong one. It's not a "question word." Is there another category that always uses an accent mark, or is it just one of those things?

Oh, wait a minute -- it's so you can tell it apart from the pronoun "te"! (Though confusion seems unlikely.)

[CaseyDaven2]

Shouldn't this be "por la tarde", not "en la tarde"?

[Nadia482085]

Why en la tarde and not de la tarde?

[TykaBooker]

En la tarde=in the afternoon, de la terde=of the afternoon

What is the difference between yo and estoy? When do you use which

[Danielconcasco]

Yo is the pronoun I.

Estoy is a verb, am. Since Spanish verbs have different suffixes to tell us the subject, we can infer it's I am.

You can leave off the yo and native speakers usually do.
