Que/quien/el cual ... ¿'el que' también o no?Hi teachers,
(I know there are other lessons on this, which I've done, but I'm still confused) - Following on from Melissa's question below and using the same example for clarity;
The relative pronoun 'el/la que' doesn't appear in this lesson,
what would be the difference then, if we said 'El director del colegio, EL QUE trabaja duro, es respetado por todos?'
I've always understood el/la que to mean 'THE ONE who/which', so I would think using 'el que' would imply there are two headteachers, one who works hard and is respected, and one who doesn't.
But in a grammar book I have, it gives the example; 'Esta autora, que/quien/la cual/LA QUE vive en Brasil, va a visitar nuestra ciudad', (This author, WHO lives in Brasil...)
Please help me to understand. Thanks.
There are four examples given of fractions in the end of the lesson :
tres cuartos,
dos decimos,
tres octavos,
un septimo
These examples are supposed to show the need for plurals when the numerator (top number) is more than one. Unfortunately all the numbers choosen ( dos and tres) end in "s". I found myself somewhat confused, and wondering if this meant that the top number should also have an "s", por ejemplo sietes ochos instead of siete ochos.
It would be clearer if you used included a fraction that did not end in "s"; por ejemplo cuarto octavos instead of tres octavos.
Why is it "soy feliz" and not "estoy"?
I have reason to believe that my report of incorrect grading may have been incorrect itself all along. I have been copying and pasting the quizzes before submitting them and have seen that my reading of the questions has not been as conscientious as it could or should have been.
¡qué tonta!
There was no "Play Audio" button in one of the sections.
Here, designed by Gaudí is POR but in the Rioja tourist office exercise :luxurious Marqués de Riscal Hotel whose design is by Frank Gehry
POR is not accepted. What should I note as the important difference?

When is tiempo used?
Are the other constructios in the green box synonymous with por lo tanto/así que?
Shouldn't it be Quema calorías limpiando, not limpiado?
Álvaro va a trabajar en un bar este verano.
Sometimes the English is contrived to make a point in relation ta a specific lesson. These can be quite false. To say Alvaro is working in a bar this summer means it is now summer and that is what Alvaro is doing. If asked: "What is Alvaro going to be doing this summer?" the response could well be : " He's workking in a bar this summer" meaning that is what he is going to do.
Why not give the English as " Alvaro is going to work" OR " is going to be working in a bar this summer". ?. it is less artificial and makes much more sense. (And is less irrtating)
