Häufig gestellte Fragen
What's the difference between 'responder' and 'contestar'?
Both mean 'to answer.' 'Contestar' is often used for simple answers, like answering a test question or a basic yes/no. 'Responder' is often preferred for more complex replies, formal communication, or when referring to reaction/accountability.
How do I know if 'responde' is a command or a statement?
The context usually makes it clear! If it has exclamation marks and is directed at 'tú' (informal you), it's likely a command (¡Responde!). If it follows a subject like 'él,' 'ella,' or 'usted,' it's a statement about what they are doing (Ella responde con calma).
