Not a question but an observation...

It makes me smile every time I see the character names used in the sentences... My father’s name was Luis and my brother is called Rafa (Rafael)! A happy coincidence :)

Good morning! Can you tell me why the answer "La empresa con la que trabajaba era muy eficiente." would be wrong? Thank you.

quien/quienesBear in mind that the most common relative pronoun is "que" and it can refer to both things and people. However this also applies to relative pronoun "quien/quienes".

If I am reading this correctly, you're implying that quien and quienes can also apply to things as well as people. Is that really true? It's my understanding that they can only apply to people.

Qué and lo que

The quiz question I got for this lesson was:

“No entiendo (qué) te molesta tanto de mí.”

Is there a difference between saying the sentence above and saying “No entiendo lo que te molesta tanto de mí.” ?

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

side by side text

Hello,

I've lost how to get to the page/site where you have the Spanish text on one side, and the translation on the other side. However, the text is invisible and you can refer to it as needed.

How do I get those articles?

Thank you.

Could I say "El verano pasado solíamos ir a la playa todos los sábados".It is a completed action in the past, which needs the simple past "fuimos" if not using "soler + ir.

familiar/formal; singular/plural no hint4A las doce de la noche, a los invitados. (At midnight, you will have said goodbye to the guests.) HINT: Use despedir for saying goodbye

There is no hint to indicate whether "you" i singular or plural , familiar or formal. Therefore we can be marked down if our choice of one of four possible correct responses is not the same as your choice.

Spanish for “gradually” Es una pena que vosotros dos ________ al resto del grupo. It is a pity that you two have been gradually leaving the rest of the group.(HINT: Use the verbal structure which stresses the progression of the action)hayáis dejadohayás acabado de dejarhayáis empezado a dejarhayáis ido dejando

Why does the english say “gradually”? Is it somehow implied in the spanish?
Thanks,
Shirley
