Para ello? “celebraremos la despedida de soltera de Paula y para ello,”.

Why “ello”? Despedida is feminine.

Past tenses

Hola

I am having a hard time learning all the past tenses and when to use what. Does anyone have a good advise on how to make it less complicated?

Why el agua and not La agua?

Hola! Yo tengo una pregunta- agua is feminine but the sentence says “el agua es clara”. Is this an exception? Are there others like this? Thank you!

Great lesson! Is this construction used as much in Latin America as in Spain?

Aunque + Subjuntivo

In the test you say the situation is hypothetical but the answer is in the future tense. Shouldn't it be in the subjunctive?

La pelota ha caído ________, en el jardín de al lado. alli or ahi

Hola,

La pelota ha caído ________, en el jardín de al lado.

If i follow the lesson it seems to me that the correct answer should be alli, not ahi

Use of hacer

I'm a little confused as to why one use of hacer seems to actually be employing hacerse. The example I'm referring to is below:

Me hice construir un anexo al lado...

Why wasn't this written simply as "Hice contruir un anexo al lado..."?

Another way to ask my question concerns another example.

Hicieron pintar de nuevo ...

Why was this example not structured as Nos hicieron pintar de nuevo...?

Saludos,

Pati Ecuamiga

Spanish writing exerciseRE: Chupachups (B2) Spanish writing exercise Sentence: In this way, the brand grew over the years HINT: In this way = de este modo Kwizbot De este modo, la marca creció con los años I was surprised that the preterite was used here and not the imperfect, as they are talking about over the years, which would have been an ongoing growth up to a point in the future, meaning that the growth was ongoing. Per the lesson attached to this section: Using El Imperfecto vs El indefinido (general use) it states: El Pretérito Imperfecto for actions in the past with no clear beginning and end. I’m sure there is an end to the action, there doesn’t seem to be a clear end. What am I missing? Thank you.
