It seems to me that telling someone else that their own  car works beautifully would indicate that the knowledge is shared and thus subjunctive (funcione) but that was marked incorrect. Please clarify.

Why does árbol become arbolillo, but corazón becomes corazoncillo?  They both end in consonants.  

The explanation above says both that "If the original noun ends in a consonant, it usually keeps the last letter (árbol → arbol-illo)", but also that "when the noun ends in a consonant...we tend to keep the whole word and add -cillo, -cilla, -cillos, -cillas".  

So why isn't it arbolcillo?

Thanks!

I may have missed something here. 

Is their happiness a permanent thing? 

Shouldn't it be, "estamos más felices?"

Thanks in advance,

This is very poorly worded. Oír means to hear, NOT can hear NOR is able to hear, so why have you asked can hear in the question?

Now I don't know whether to use poder (conjugated) + oír or oír because I don't know whether you are asking me can hear or hear.

Hi,

What if I wanted to say "the other lamp" instead of "another lamp"?

Would that be "la otra lámpara"?

Could this be desde hace in this sentence

The RAE seems to say that it is correct to have no accent on the vosotros vorms of liar and criar.

HI Inma 

I'm not sure why the answer for this is conjugated singular (ha gustado) & not plural (han gustado);

Siempre me ________ leer autobiografías de gente famosa.

Thank you.

I wrote: Qué metiste en esa caja? and was marked wrong. The right answer should be : Qué metias en esa caja? 

As I understand it you did not put something in the box habitually. You did it at a special occasion. So what's wrong with "metiste"?

I think I understood this except, but I'd feel better if there was a translation, too.
