Spanish language Q&A Forum

Seria genial que añadieran preguntas de comprensión lectora al final de cada lectura. A mis estudiantes les encantarían!

In the sentence 'David actoweluaba como si lo supiera todo' what is the function of 'lo'?  Is it that 'el' cannot be used after after a word ending in a vowel?

The sentence is We are going to have dinner etc....  But the infinitive verb used is salir which means to leave.  Why is the verb tener not used as this doesn't make sense to me

Are you going to the theatre with her? : ¿Tú vas a ir ___ al teatro?

Using preposition con followed by a pronoun to say with me, you, him, her, us, you (plural), them

The correct answer was "con ellos" but shouldn't it be "con ella" (which wasn't an option.

Hi,

I have mentioned before the speed at which some of the example sentences are said and I wondered whether it is structured.

I presume that this lesson is solely for A1 level students.  If so, there is a sentencs that is so fast that I cannot hear all of the syllables.  

In "Andrea juega al ..." I find it difficult to hear all of the syllables near the start of the sentence.

Could it be that the sentences are slowed for the lower levels and speeded up as we become more adept at listening to Spanish?

Sorry to complain but I find the course suits my needs and this tweak would make it even better for me.  I don't know whether others would agree.

Many thanks.

There was a question in one of the quizzes I took and it led me to this grammar topic (questions with qué):

Which flowers do you prefer?  

¿ _____ flores prefieres ? 

I put cuales in the blank, but was marked wrong, it said the answer was qué. 

I went to the lesson on cual/cuales (interrogative pronouns) and there was a sample sentence referring to flowers, using cuales prefieres.  

In the English translation to the quiz it uses which and I assumed that a select few flowers were being referred to, thus the answer should be cuales. It is a bit ambiguous. 

Can you say something like,  

De todos mis amigos, la mas guapa es Esmeralda. 

Of all my friends, the best-looking is Esmeralda. 

I translated "I gave some flowers to your mother" as "Yo le di unas flores a tu madre". It was marked wrong and I can't work out why. I've looked at a couple of other websites and I still don't understand what I've got wrong. One site says that the "le" has to be used. The given answer didn't have "le" in it. Even if the "le" is optional, is it actually incorrect to use it, or have I got it all wrong? Thanks.

Can the speaker say, ¨Ojalá aprueba el examen¨

or does he have to say it the other way, ¨Espero aprobar el examen.¨

Thanks.
