Thank you for the answer. Please advise when the table is added. Le dieron un regalo. Le dieron un regalo a ella.

In your example and in Spanish grammar is the “a ella” repetition of the indirect object “le” essential or is it an optional extention added for the sake of clarity?

Muchos or Muchas

Mi hermano tiene ________ perros.

My brother has many dogs.

In this quiz I put "muchos" however I got it wrong as it said the correct answer is "muchas". Which word is feminine in this sentence?

subjunctive for suggestions

Hello, I'm wondering why the subjunctive here is used but then not in the same sentence:

"no la dejes ir y cuida su amistad"

shouldn't it be: "no la dejes ir y cuide su amistad" since both are suggestions?

Thank you

Siente que su grado de veterinaria no le llenaHola Inma, The translation provided gave this as "she feels that her veterinary degree does not fulfil her." I know that there are other verbs which function in this way, where an indirect object is used instead of a direct object. I think this is the case with pedir, decir, preguntar for example, where the direct object is implied as communicating "something ... to another person." Thus in my above question is it that "No le llena" implies that her degree does not fulfil "something" in her. Is there a lesson about this, or is there a way of recognising these verbs, or do we learn them as we go? I hope this makes sense. Saludos John

Trabajas - En que or A que?

Hi! I had a similar issue to Nicole taking a test today.

The question was:

¿A qué ________?What do you do?
I answered te dedicas and se dedica. It marked me incorrect for not choosing trabajas as well. But I thought it was "en que trabajas", not "a que". Is this an error w/ the quiz or am I not understanding something?
Thank you!

eses/esosTodos los pasteles parecen riquísimos pero voy a comprar ________. 'All the cakes look tasty but I am going to buy those ones.'

In spite of the hint that 'esos' refer to more abstract things, in the test above ( cakes) why would it be esos not eses?

Hemos sidos?

I was just marked wrong when I answered a test question with 'hemos sido'. I was told that the correct answer was 'hemos sidos.' There is no sidos in the conjugation that I can find. What is this?
