¿Sería el mismo decir "la clínica de libros" como "el consultorio de libros"? ¿Son sinónimos?

Hi, 

In "... hacer la compra." could 'las compras' have been used instead?

Which is better?

Thanks.

Could "Personally" also be translated as "Para mi"?

Why do we say "pasear al perro" instead of "pasear el perro". Why is the "al" used?

Are these translations also valid:

"It was magnificent!" = "¡Qué magnífico!"
"I arrived in just two hours!" = "¡Tardé solo dos horas en llegar!"
"We also drank cava!" = "¡Bebimos cava también!"

Also, can "Después" be changed with "Luego"?  

The last line to this exercise is a question, but the suggested answer is not a question

Can you please explain why there is an accent on the e in imperative of 3rd person of sentir.

To me the syllabification prior to adding the se are sien.te. As the word ends in neither an a,s or n the accent falls on the last syllable ie “te”.  Therefore, after the se is added should the accent not fall on the té?

Hi,

I am confused by the above.

I would have thought that 'yo gusto' = I like.  Can anyone explain please?

Thanks.

I can not understand the meaning of the idiom ´lucir el pelo´. I have searched on internet but still the significance is unclear. Please can you clarify? Thanks.

It should be: "El armario estará listo para ser usado todo el invierno."

Also any high-school Spanish teacher would wince at the sight of all those misplaced commas.

A suggestion from a native Spanish speaker: get your reading practice from somewhere else.
