Hi Silvia. The phrase "expression of doubt" (I paraphrase) and the way it is used here seem ambiguous. How is it that according to the tests "creemos que" and "piensan que" don't express doubt; to me, since they don't express certainty, there is doubt. Likewise, how is it that "es impossible que" is followed by the subjunctive, when it expresses certainty that something is not possible. Please clarify. Thanks.

When I am ready, will there be a way reset my records to start over from the beginning of the course?

Is there a way reset my records to start over from the beginning of the course?

When I am finished with level CI I am going to want to repeat the entire course again because I am moving too quickly through the lessons and the idiomatic expressions are not making it to my long-term memory. I'm doing much better with verbs, pronouns, adverbs and adjectives. Also, I need to expand my vocabulary which might be difficult considering the fact that I have no real life need or occasion to communicate in Spanish. I am doing this for intellectual satisfaction not for any specific reason.

This is very important.

Use of el and la

I notice that Spanish often inserts el/la where English doesn't. Like "como la observación, la intuición y la lógica." whereas in English one writes "like observation, tuition, and logic."

Is there a rule for this?

Querer que is always followed by El Subjuntivo (present subjunctive)

What is the difference between:

Quiero que coma

Querer comer

Is it a certain nuance between saying "I want to eat" and "I want that I could eat?"

I'm a little confused here!
