Kwiz going wrong?In the kwiz, I got:
¿Vive aquí ________ Julia Pérez? Tengo un paquete para ella.
as I saw both first name and last name, according to the lesson, I used 'la doña'. I quote:
We use "don" and "doña" in a very similar way to the titles señor/señora. In English these are also the equivalent of Mr. or Mrs. but with the difference that we use them followed by the person's first name or followed by both first name and surname, but never just their surname.
The example even shows: Hemos otorgado el premio a don Javier Cuevas.
Yet, the answer tells me it should have been 'la señora', while in the lesson, no example is to be found stating the combination of 'la señora' (or el señor for that matter) followed by both first and last names.
Is the kwiz wrong here, or am I still missing a clue?
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 am unable to find Part 1 and Part 4 of Un crimen perfecto. Can you help?

Preferir... que... just means: prefer... than... .Doesn't it?
Preferir... en vez de... means: prefer... rather than.... Why? I don't understand.
Thank you so much
I find it interesting [and useful] that in the constructions described here, the *Present* Subjunctive is allowed - whereas we can never put a Present Subjunctive immediately after a "Si ... " > (It usually has to be an *Imperfect* Subjunctive; or perhaps a Pluperfect one?) ... Perhaps we can say that the events in this lesson are more likely to happen than those in a "Si + Imperf. Subj." clause?
Hola,
A little confused on the structure of this:
Deja que yo busque la carretera en el mapa.
It's the part that deja plays - I'm interpreting it as imperative. I'm thinking it should be dejame, or something like that?
Gracias,
The question (with no other information provided) is "Drive safely!. One of the options is "Conducir con cuidado".There is another lesson on Requests / Commands / instructions where if I have got it right the infinitive is used without the preopisiton "a".. Why doies it not work in this instance?
i have just learned about llevar + gerund, which also used to say how long has someone done something. is this structure the same as the one in this lesson where we use present tense + desde hace?
llevo estudiando español 6 meses
estudio español desde hace 6 meses.
If they are not equal, what is the difference then?
Appreciate any answers or replies! muchas gracias
¡No faltes al respeto a tu profesor!Don't insult your teacher!Why is this not taking "le" before the verb since it is "faltar a alguien"?
