Adonde vas Manel? correct?

You wrote: "With verbs that imply movement we can use all the forms:", with example ¿Adónde vas Manuel?

Does than mean that "Adonde vas Manuel" and "donde vas Manuel" are correct? The examples only have the forms adónde and dónde

EscucharEscuchar means "to listen to", rather than "to listen" I thought. That's why I chose "quienes" rather than "a quienes" (plus the accents!). But you have to include the "a" in this case, do you? I know the Spanish like to duplicate prepositions!!

no solo...sino (que?)

From the above lesson it is not fully clear when one would use "no solo...sino" and when one would use "no solo...sino que". Is the rule similar to the one mentioned in this lesson: Difference between pero, sino and sino que in Spanish (but) whereby "If we need a different conjugated verb in the second clause after sino, then we need to add "que" after sino."?

In the explanation, you use Tú when referring to Mamá and Usted when referring to Madre. In the Kwiz, you had a question with “father”. How can we

know whether tu or usted is required. Could it not be either, depending on the formality, which is not stated?

Tardar vs tomar vs durar vs levar

Can we get a lesson on when to use which word? They seem to all be very similar in describing how long something takes.

Bendecir > bendecido / bendito /// pudrir > podrido

I had to look up and remind myself about the two possible derivatives of "bendecir" - i.e. bendecido [participle] and bendito [adjective]. Clarification was necessary because I remembered that the future tense of "bendecir" is 'regular' - i.e. "bendeciré" - [unlike decir > diré].

Another 'peculiar' change which might be worth mentioning in this lesson is the way in which "pudrir" becomes "podrido" when forming its past participle.

Of possible interest too, is the pair "corrompido" [participle] as opposed to "corrupto" [adjective]; (we never see "corroto").

The Spanish letter GHow do you pronounce the Spanish letter G? Sometimes it sounds like an English H when saying Girasol and at other times it sounds like an English W eg. La Guajira. Also How does it sound when pronouncing the Spanish word Guapo? Is it an Engish G sound or an English W sound or maybe nearer to an English H sound?
