"Todo aquel que" and "aquel"

If I'm correct, it appears from the quiz that "aquel" and the equivalent "todo aquel que" forms have identical meanings. Would it be worth adding a note in the lesson to clarify that "todo aquel que" is simply another alternative?

Including the definite article

Hola,

Is there a lesson which develops this theme, and discusses when the definite article is used with the noun in the body of a sentence - and if there are times when this is not the case?

Thanks. John

Why always followed by an a?

Hola,

I've seen this pattern and just learned it by rote, but I'm wondering why when I see venir and salir, and probably others I can't recall right now, the preposition follows the verb?

Usted normalmente sale a comer a las dos. (You usually go out to eat at two o'clock.)

Why isn't it sale comer a las dos, or Vienen nadar todos los domingos?

I guess some rule has bypassed me at some point? What I'm most concerned is that past venir and salir, I'm going to get it wrong with other verbs.

Muchas gracias,

Ways to say "become"The "correct" verb required for this sentence is "se hizo": "Ella ________ famosa después del anuncio de la tele." I put "se convirtió" because it's a major change of her position in public life. "Hacerse" is described as a change of profession!

Voy a enseñarte

Hola,

I think " te voy a enseñar" is also valid. Isn't it?

When to use past vs perfect subjunctive?

One of the questions connected to this lesson is: No es posible que ________ en la montaña. (It is not possible that they got lost in the mountains.)

The correct answers are given as se perdieran and se perdiesen. But why can't it be se hayan perdido as well?

recordar / acordarse

In the Superbike translation exercise, you translated "We'll always remember this day" as "Vamos a acordarnos siempre de este día". Why is "Vamos a recordar siempre de este dia" not also correct ?

se va or irse having another meaning

in one of the examples,

Verás, el chico se va a enfadar y va a coger y le va a dar un puñetazo.

You'll see, the guy is going to get cross and he's going to go and give him a punch.

where does 'se va + a' comes from? is this irse with other meanings?

Could you direct me to the appropriate lesson?

thanks
