Otra vez, No vuelvas con esa chica

Hola Inma,

Yes I also missed the meaning of "con" as you explained below. When I read this sentence I also translated it as "Don't come back with that girl" as if a disapproving parent were making their feelings known. To paraphrase it, "don't bring that girl back here again."

How might I translate that meaning?

Saludos

John

Preposition a usage

Hola,

In this statement, just wondering why there is the preposition after llamamos?

Después de la fiesta llamamos a un taxi.

I know we have a lesson on prepositions for movement verbs, and guess this comes under the 'purpose' part of that?

Do you have any resources (or planned) to go into this a bit more?

Gracias,

English different than SpanishSegún los periódicos, ________ elecciones en Octubre. According to the newspapers, there would be an election in October. “an election” vs “elecciones”. I know it doesn’t change the correct answer. Shirley.

Article not needed?

On the quiz, the question was: Es ________ hora; ven más tarde.

My answer was “una mala” and it was marked wrong. It was supposed to be just “mala”.

Could please explain why “una mala” is incorrect? It didn’t mention anything in the text about not using the article. Thanks.

In the sentence Vosotros entendéis muy bien a la gente - wondering why muy bien is after entendéis and not after gente?

I'm guessing it's because it's the adverb of understand, not because it's the adjective of gente? Thank you!

Despite not appropriate in one example.

Four examples in the lesson. In the last three ,you could translate con lo que as "despite"but that would not make sense in the first example and seems not to fit the pattern.

No sé cómo no estás agotado con lo que corres.I am surprised you are not exhausted with all the running you do. ¿Vas a salir con lo que llueve?Are you going out despite all that rain? Me sorprende que esté tan delgado con lo que come.I can't believe how thin he is given how much he eats. Con lo que me ha costado este curso y ahora no es válido.After all the effort I made to do this course and now it turns out that it's not valid.
