who or whomJust a comment. I think this subject is difficult without making the English incorrect. It becomes much more understandable when the translation is made using correct English. Some examples:
¿A quién le enviaste la carta?
Who did you send the letter to?
The English should be: To
whom did you send the letter?
¿Para quién has
comprado esas flores tan bonitas?
Who have you bought such pretty flowers for?
The English should be: For whom have you bought
such pretty flowers?
¿Con quiénes vais
de vacaciones?
Who are you going on holiday with?
The English should be: With whom are you
going on holiday?
¿Por quién harías
una locura?
Who would you do something crazy for?
The English should be: For whom would you do
something crazy?
This does not include all the examples, but it is enough to see the problem.

That guy worked for us for a few months.
why are we not translating the second for in the sentence: 'for a few months'?
Should it not be: Durante unos meses?
Why is there an article in front of frío in the second instance?
In the sentence: my girlfriend says that you will be worth it. Why would you use valdrás, instead of valdrá la pena? You are not valuing it, you are just worth it.
I am having a lot of trouble knowing which one of these to use. The explanations I have found don't make sense to me. For instance "haber estado" refers to something in the past that expresses movement. Then why, when I receive something from Amazon Mexico, does it say "Tu paquete ha sido entregado". ? Very confused about this and I can't find any coherent answers.
I had the question pasted below, but how is it that it can be both vosotros and os in the same sentence? And why isn't the gusta plural?
Thanks!
A vosotros no ________ este documental, ¿verdad?You [plural] don't like this documentary, do you?
