Hola,

Is the 'a' always required? Can you say 'Maria le gusta', rather than 'A Maria le gusta'?

Apologies if I've missed it in the text.

Gracias,

I was recently given this sentence: 

Eugenia (entender)  ______ que no podamos ir.

I got it correct and know the form of "entender" to be used, but I have a side question: Why is "podamos" in the subjunctive here? Why not the indicative?

The lesson says  "Remember that when you use this structure with an adjective, the adjective must agree with the subject." but none of the examples actually demonstrate this. It might be a good idea to throw in some feminine and plural adjective examples to more explicitly demonstrate the agreement!

I think this also translates correctly;

Adorno el árbol de Navidad para que todos admirarlo mañana.

as an alternative to

Adorno el árbol de Navidad para que todos lo admiren mañana.

Two correct answers as choices in the original question unless hinted to use subjunctive

Hola,

Would that work in this case (if we saw ourselves in the current timeframe), and if it did, would it be that you could choose to either follow it with the present or the imperfect subjunctive?

He querido que vinieras conmigo de compras.

He querido que vengas conmigo de compras.

I wanted you to come shopping with me.

Gracias,
