Why is "Te los voy a comprar."  only nearly correct?  Isn't this structure as correct as "Voy a comprartelos."?

I thought that ' el billete de tren' had a determiner - 'el'  as opposed to the general 'un billete de tren'. Please explain

I put "Acabo de comprar un apartamento "  and that was not shown as a possible answer for "I just bought an apartment " but I believe it is correct.

Hello,

in this sentence :

why isn't it :  "... ir al psicólogo no sería una mala idea." ?

thank you !

I think I can understand why "... se puede ver a las ballenas jorobadas retozando, coqueteando ..." is correct - [meaning: "... one can see the humpback whales ...", or "... you can see ..."] - after reading your Kwiziq lessons " Using se debe/se puede to say You must/you can (impersonal sentences) "  [number 6933] and " Expressing instructions and general statements in Spanish with the impersonal se = one " [number 5132].

However - under 'Your Practice', you recommend the lesson " Forming the Spanish passive with se (la pasiva refleja) " [number 6089] - which seems more consistent with this answer: "... se pueden ver las ballenas jorobadas"? (i.e. with 'pueden' in the plural, and without the "a" [before the 'las']). Would this^ be a correct way of saying "... the humpback whales can be seen ..."?

"In Spanish, you use hubo whether it is followed by one item or many, unlike in English."

In Preterite, if third person singular is also used for plural, when is third person plural used?

¡Gracias!

Hi, Shui, is there a difference between “este está compuesto por” and “este es compuesto por”? I would have expected the ser form in this context. From reverso.com I see both forms are quite common. Why would you choose the estar form in this case, and would the ser form be wrong? Thanks!
