Hola,

what about words that start with "hie-"? The o changes into u or not?

Está hecha de madera o/u hierro?

Muchas gracias

English text had an issue: "explaining it's working"?? - not correct.  You would say perhaps, "explaining how the gym worked, or functioned (in general - thus the rules of the gym, or how to use the gym), or explaining how a particular machine worked.

Just wondering if the heading should be "CAERSE" instead of "CAER" as all the examples are reflexive.  This confused me for a moment.

Also, there's an interesting use of "traer" here in Mexico.  If we only have a large bill to pay with at a small store and we want to say "Do you have change?", we don't say "Tienes cambio?"  Instead we say "Traes cambio?"

Could someone please clarify the vowel change from e->i on reir. It looks like it is just be dropping the e.

Thank you.

Hola Inma,

You explain that we don't always need the articles though in certain phrases where we are not expressing a percentage of something but the lesson uses examples that all express percentages of something – where the ‘something’ is natural, eco-friendly, Spanish ancestry, and so on.

So can you please clarify to me why Cien por ciento de los vecinos apoyaron la decisión is incorrect and El 100 por cien de los vecinos apoyaron la decisión is correct?

I’m sorry but I have become quite confused with this particular lesson.

I have answered two questions which I was marked incorrect.

Hor acio

There was a lot of food at the party. (completed action in the past)

Había mucha comida en la fiesta.

There was a lot of food at the party. (action not completed in the past, descriptive)

I'm really getting concerned for Angela. She's not making good decisions bouncing from one man to another. She needs more self-respect. This is so sad and so common now. Women are so sexualized that they don't see their own value.
