Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hello, this is a more advanced topic but I've come back to review.

Why do we use the subjunctive in this statement:

Ustedes pueden comprar lo que quieran.

Thanks.

I would have said “en el sol”, not “al sol”

The sound stops halfway through this example:

Yo voy al gimnasio, no porque me gusta, sino porque debo perder peso.I go to the gym, not because I like it, but because I must lose weight.

I always appreciate the richness of meanings in the examples.  Could you please tell me if my list is correct?

 (1) Salir con alguien - go out with someone  

(2) Salir con (an item of clothing) - to go out wearing something  

(3) salir de un lugar - to leave a place 

(4) salir a un lugar - to go out to a place

 (5) something you did + salir - something turned out a certain way 

(6) salir bien vestidos - to go out well dressed.  

Thanks.

I don't understand what the following excerpt from the lesson is supposed to mean:

Can you please clarify what this means in prose rather than abreviated notation?

Is there a rule for using the definite article in Spanish? It often trips me up. It doesn’t always follow the same pattern as English, eg in Castles text: …visitar castillos (no ‘los’, where in English there would be no ‘the’), but then:… la historia de los castillos medievales (in the  English version there is no ‘the’, the history of medieval castles; the history of the medieval castles is not incorrect it just has a different meaning).  Maybe, as in English, it’s very much about common usage and there’s no absolute rule.?

Clearly spoken and a nice addition to vocabulary but what is the significance of the two girls from Guadalupe? Is Guadalupe Victoria DUR the home town of Daniela?

I don't see anywhere in the lesson that the "que" can be omitted. I don't think the sentence looks right either.
