Hola! The most important translation of Llevar is to take from a-b, then, later in the course we introduced two more, to carry and to wear, we don’t actually have a word for wear in Spanish so if you are going out and you are going to wear a coat, as there is no word, you say I am going to take a coat….
You are correct about the use of llevar for a product containing an ingredient, but I’m afraid there is no logical way to understand why it is used….. it carries gluten or it carries sugar is the nearest.

For example in a taxi I could say “ lleva me a aeropuerto” I get that works for take. But I’ve also learned este plato lleva trigo?.. for does this dish carry wheat, as in does it contain. I don’t understand how it translates to take in this instance? Can you help me to understand this please?

Hi Robert
Calendar looks good – is there a way of re-ordering it to make selecting days and months easier? Rather than going down the whole list and ticking them as you come across them?
And in terms of numbers I was hoping there would be something that went from one to 30 and then showed 40, 50 etc

Hola! Yes, correct, that was the “usted” (buisness) and will be covered later in the course and explained why it is old-fashioned now over here….

Was that
for more formal speech? I also remember some about moving ‘it’ in the positive command but not in the negative command. My heads hurting now trying to remember this lol

Hola!
OK, brace yourself, we had a lesson called “the 4 toos” there were 2 “too” tambien and demasiado, tambien means too, also, aswell, yo hablo español tambien, this would translate as: I speak Spanish Also, I speak Spanish as well or I speak Spanish too….
Then there is demasiado which means too as in too much
(this is why on the quiz we said what letter it started with, so that you know which one of the two it was)
Have a look on the index for the lesson on the four toos in the core to refresh your memory on them.
When you say: I live in Spain too, you cannot say yo vivo en españa demasiado…its yo vivo en españa tambien
