Yes, Perikles, this is still a challenge to me sometimes, after all these years speaking English.

Also, "on" and "in". They both mean "en". "On" is supposedly used when referring to "encima" and "in" when referring to "dentro" or "adentro".

But it doesn't always work that way..

Why would you say "write it on the list"but"write it in the note" ???

Quedar - still drives me crazy!!

Silly question, but here it goes: What's the problem with "quedar"?
