Location of adjectives

The lesson is clear that "bueno" in front of a noun means "great," but simply "good" if after the noun. So the instruction is that this girl simply wants a good man. But the "correct" choice is "un buen hombre"!

Why do we say it in a way that we already know how the experience is when we are asking someone to let us know?

Let me know how your experience is!

¡Ya me contarás cómo está tu experiencia!

lit: "you'll already tell me how your experience is!", you = tú

different meanings for "seguro"Busca en la estantería. Seguramente estén abajo, no arriba.Look on the shelves. They are probably at the bottom, not at the top. Why is "seguramente" being translated here as "probably" instead of "surely" and where does the word "probablemente" fit into the discussion here?

Unnatural Speech Patterns

One thing I find problematic (and frustrating even) about the dictation exercises is the intonation of the voice after punctuation (e.g., commas, periods, question marks, and even exclamation points) is highly inconsistent with natural speech. For example, typically speakers pause briefly after a comma, and the voice is raised sightly (or even demonstrably) after a question has been posed. These common features of natural/normal speech are too often absent and I think that is a major flaw in Kwiziq dictation exercises.

_______, no nos quedan más vestidos en la tienda.

Hola,

I have just completed a test with the above sentence to be completed with an adverb.

I do not have a problem with the adverb but with this part of the sentence:

... no nos quedan más ...

Can you please explain how the above equals 'we have no more' in English? I wonder why it is quedan and not quedamos.

Many thanks for you help.

Saludos,

Colin

Mi madre se peina el pelo con un cepillo nuevo

Hi,

Could 'el pelo' be removed from the above sentence and still retain the same meaning. I assume that peinarse means to comb one's own hair.

Thanks.

Indirect object pronouns

Hi. Why is the indirect object pronoun used in for example. “Le encanta la peli” When in English the the phrase “She loves the film” suggests the use of the Direct object pronoun. As in the “The film delights her.”
