Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi, if I want to say he is one of the nicest people I know - es uno de las personas más agradables yo sé, is this correct? I am asking this because I'm confused whether you can use uno and a feminine noun like personas and vice versa in the same sentence because all of the examples do not have this sort of example.

I recommend linking to Difference between cuándo and cuando in Spanish (with and without an accent) as a related topic.

Is it still true that in some areas coger should be avoided due to negative connotations?

I know that the rule is to use sino que when there is a different conjugated verb in the second clause after sino.  If it is the same verb, we don't need to use it at all: Juan no bebía vino sino ron.   But what if we decide to include the verb?  Then do we use sino que (even though it is not a different verb?). Juan no bebía vino sino que ron.

I would appreciate your help on this one.

entender su pinto de vista
in english we don't use any preposition with the verb 'understasnd'
but why in spanish, do we use preposition 'a' sometimes?
