Spanish language Q&A Forum

If the example used "Vamos, ..." as "Come on, ...", why cannot I use it in my Quiz answer? Perhaps the Quiz needs to be more modified to remove the multiple correct options and be more concise. 

I do not have a Spanish keyboard so cannot put in the accents

If I want to ask a question, can I say "puedo preguntarte algo"? ie. can I ask you something (meaning a question)?

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?

I have gotten confused by a specific use of the personal a.  As I understand it, if you are mentioning a person or group of people, you need a personal a infront of the person.  For example if I am talking about a reporter mentioning Juan, I might say El reportero mencionó a Juan.  It also looks like if I want to say that the reporter mentioned Juan to Ana, I should say  El reportero mencionó Juan a Ana.  

Is this correct?  Is this also a general pattern - i.e. when I would normally use a personal a, but there is an indirect object (Ana), should I always drop the personal a and use the a for the indirect object?

Thanks

What exercises could i do to practice this?

Hola Inma:

Are these phrases interchangeable?

         Lo+ Adv/Adj + que + verb

         Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj

Let's use test question #3 for these purposes:

         "¡____ es ese monumento!"

Of course the correct answer is:

          "¡Lo feo que es ese             monumento!"

With regard to this structure (Lo+ Adv/Adj + que + verb) the lesson states it is used to express surprise/admiration/disappointment about how something/someone performs an action or about what someone/something is like.

 The lesson for the structure (Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj) states that it is used to ASK about the degree or extent of a specific quality. Yet one of the example is not a question:

 "Carlos, muéstrale a Valentina qué tan bien bailas merengue." The phrase is being used in regard to a "specific quality," i.e., "... how well... ."

Question:for these purposes,  is not ugliness a specific quality. (a) if so, could we not also use the structure (Que tan /cuan + Adv/ Adj): ¡Qué tan feo  es ese monumento! Thank you in advance.

Could you please explain why the "a" is omitted in this example?
