In the last line, why " vive a Madrid" not " vive en Madrid"?

I can't see the difference in meaning between the English of the first and second examp;es in the lesson, so how can I decode on Indicative or Subjubctive?

So, I'm trying to solidify this idea in my head by contrasting it with the imperfecto de subjuntivo. Is the subordinate clause not in the subjunctive here because the speaker (presumably the 3rd party and the person repeating the statement) take for granted the factual of the idea (ie in the sentence "el hombre de tiempo dijo que llovería hoy" that the idea that it is going to rain is considered a fact, and not a supposition. 

Following your hint, I tried to use "agusto" as an adjective. On being marked wrong, I looked to see what options my dictionary allowed, but I could not find any noun or adjective spelled that way. A gusto o Agusto - Diccionario de Dudas > https://www.diccionariodedudas.com/a-gusto-o-agusto throws some light on the puzzle. But if we use "a gusto", should we rather write: "Cómo a gusto nos hemos sentido" - would that also be OK?

There is a hole in your explanation.

You say: 

"In sentences where the indirect object is represented by "a + pronoun", and it is at the beginning of the sentence...."

but you do not explain what happens if "a + pronoun" is at the end of the sentence.

Is the indirect object pronoun required or optional in that case?

eg: Can "Me lo ha comprado a mí." be written as "lo ha comprado a mí."?

Regards,

Fred.

In the last sentence  "Fueron unos días muy felices."

Isn't "fueron" the third person plural (preterite) of "ir"?  It should be followed by "a"

It seems to me that it should be "fueran" instead of "fueron"

Hi Inma, this is one of the most difficult things for me to grasp, especially in the body of a sentence, please could you put this near the top of your list for new lessons?

Hola,

Is there a lesson which develops this theme, and discusses when the definite article is used with the noun in the body of a sentence - and if there are times when this is not the case?

Thanks. John"
