Why isn't the personal "a" used, "hacia A sus padres"?

Hola Inma,

Why do you use the infinitive endurecer insted of the sunjuctive? I thought both se empezara a and endurecer are attached to  the Sería bueno que.

Muchas gracias!

The construction "... te permitirá conocer personas" reminded me that the personal "a" is inserted only if the object of the verb is a known human being - specifically identified .. Thank you !

[I am sure this is mentioned somewhere in one of your lessons, is it?]

Didn't we learn in another lesson that we could substitute "que" for "porque"? Does that mean "debido a que" and "que" are also interchangeable via the transitive property? I feel like either I am misremembering or there are some nuances I'm not picking up on. 

cuál/cuáles is that the latter is asking about something specific from a predetermined group of items. 

Names are a predetermined group of items?

Couldn’t “decorate it for yourself” also be a correct choice if the implied pronoun/antecedent is “usted?”

I can’t see why “usted” wouldn’t be as valid as “él/ella/ellos/ellas” for this construction. 

Hi Inma,

I know that the answer for;

No voy a ir a esa fiesta, por si acaso ________ con David

is 'me encontrara' (not 'me encuentre') because it is subjunctive imperfect but is the future subjunctive not used in this case because the sentence is conditional?

Thank you

I understand the lesson well.However, I want to ask whether one of your sentences could have been written better.', incorporating  "Lo" from a previous lesson.. Su oración en español fue: Ayer, estuve pensando en cómo nos conocimos. Pues, yo no me  acuerdo.  ¿  lo podía ser mejor si usáramos : ...Pues, yo no lo acuerdo?

Could we use "el" in this context?  No possessive is used with body parts; it seemed that a constitution is a part of government, and not "owned" by it.
