In this topic I can't find reference to animals. I remember from other lessons that animals normally aren't considered valid when, for instance, using alguien. On the test it's asked about hearing a cat enter the house. Makes me think that hasn't been (explicitly) covered here...
One of the quiz questions was
The citizens choose a new president for the country.
Los cuidadanos _____ nuevo presidente para el pais.
The hint was conjugate elegir in el presente.
To make the sentence complete I typed "eligen un" for the blank, but my answer was wrong. It said the answer was "eligen". Some of the quiz questions require you to type 2 words (or more). How was I supposed to know that this specific question only wanted 1 word, which doesn't seem complete?
I have not found a dictionary that shows ir to mean “get to”. Is it correct?
Thank you, Shirley.
¡Hola a todos!
Me ha gustado mucho esta lectura, pero quiero dejar un comentario.**
El autor escribe:
"Finalmente, quiero ver el amanecer sobre el Océano Pacífico, en Ciudad de Panamá, y el atardecer en el Océano Atlántico, en Colón."
Nunca he estado en Ciudad de Panamá. Dicho esto, ¿alguien ha visto salir el sol sobre el Océano Pacífico desde la costa oeste de Panamá? O, ¿ha visto ponerse el sol sobre el Atlántico en una playa de Colón?, en la costa este de Panamá? ;>)

Can you give advice/commands in Spanish with the conditional form of deber/tener que?
In this lesson I see:
Si te gustan esos pendientes, deberías comprarlos.If you like those earrings, you should buy them.
Si ellos son los responsables, deberían pagar.
If they are responsible, they should pay.
These are advice/commands.
There is also the other lesson "Si [if] followed by present indicative + main clause [command/request/advise]".
What is the point then of this lesson?
Hola,
As a matter of interest, what would the difference in meaning be if 'por' were substituted for 'para'.
The online translator I use says that they are the same.
Gracias.
Colin
Are there other examples besides just these? I have a Spanish dictionary that says that the word "internet" can be either feminine or masculine, with both "la internet" and "el internet" being correct. Could you provide any other words that do the same besides just the few that are provided in the lesson?
Do I understand correctly that both tenses are possible? If so, is there a difference in meaning or are they interchangeable?
Hi I have a question. For the phrase "and with sea views," why is it "y con vistas al mar", rather than "y con vistas del mar"?
Apropos of ' "Lo que" vs "la cosa que" ', I sometimes see "cosa que" used to mean "which", as in
Querían detenerme por robo, cosa que no hice.
Is this usage correct? If so, is there a lesson that discusses it?
