Spanish language Q&A Forum

1) I wrote "quince" instead of "15". This was regarded wrong but I think it should be accepted.

2) From the way the text is read, it is not always easy to discern it it is followed by a comma or a point.

3) It was not possible to get the spanish inverted exclamation sign by pressing long on the exclamation sign? 

Hi, Why do you say: “Como es usted”  instead of: “Como esta usted”!? Gracias, Arabelle

The exceptions are both words that describe places of origin.  Is this a pattern or are these two examples that just happened to be place names.  I can see three possibilities:

1) When you have a place of origin adjective (from Spain, from Analusia) you always use gendered plural endings.

2) When you use gendered plural endings for adjectives ending in z or l you always use gendered plural endings

3) It's just a coincidence in the examples and neither 1 or 2 is a pattern.

Which one of these cases is closest to being correct?

El padre le da la receta a la señorita. Senorita was the indirect object noun, why add to “le” in front of the da？And,：Qué le hace el médico al enfermo? Enfermo was also the indirect object noun, why add to “le”?

And, ：Le receta el médico al enfermo unas pastillas? Enfermo was also the indirect object noun, why add to “le”?

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?
