I have read all the correspondance around this lesson, but my problem has not surfaced. It is this:-

if 'mirar' is intransitive and needs pronoun 'a' before inanimate objects, then I don't have a problem. If, however, it is transitive and takes a direct object ( of inanimate objects ) then I cannot see why there is an indirect  object pronoun at all. Can you explain?

Maybe this meaning should be on the list as well, from your lesson that "dejar de" + infinitive means to stop doing something or give up something:

Using dejar de + [infinitive] = to stop doing something/to give up something

May I respectfully draw your attention to your example immediately under 'The accidental 'se' with olvidarse and suggest as a literal translation

'The keys have forgotten themselves to me'? This accounts for the perfect tense and the reflexive 'se'.

You also give examples of forgettibg things 'accidentally'.  Can one forget things 'on purpose'?

Hola Shui, Inma y Anna,

¡Estoy tan feliz con este reader! 

Muchísimas gracias

Are there more than 2 practice questions somewhere for each lesson? 

Hola,

This lesson seems very similar to continuar/seguir+[gerund] to me. Any particular differences in nuance between the two that we should look out for?

Gracias

I did the assessment test, and began the lessons. At the end of the two lessons I tried, there were two questions at the end. Two questions is not enough practice for me. Am I missing something ?

I'm very confused by the explanation regarding the use of indirect and direct object pronouns with hacer + infinitive. The lesson says that indirect object pronouns are used with intransitive verbs, but shows direct object pronouns (lo) with the intransitive verb "arrodillarse". The lesson then says that direct object pronouns are used with transitive verbs, but then shows indirect object pronouns (les) with the transitive verb "pedir (pardón)". Is this a mistake, or am I misunderstanding?

I'm also confused by the difference between the example in the lesson and the example sentence further below:

The lesson teaches: 
Les ha hecho pedir perdón al profesor"
He made them apologise to the teacher.

But the examples sentences below show:

Los ha hecho pedir perdón al profesor.He made them apologise to the teacher.
I am completely confused :(

Couldn't you use lograr for "to achieve"?

The note above says "we use the definite article with the thing/s that one likes, unless we're talking about a place or a person".  But one of the examples is "Les gusta la chica alta" - isn't "the tall girl" a person? Or do you just mean a person's name?
