Why las que not la que?Hola, I copied this from “I failed” dictation: la autoescuela en las que pueda volver a repasar. I don’t understand the reason for las que, instead of la que. Muchas gracias, Shirley.

A couple of questions

Hi,

1) Re: También, put "also" at the beginning of the sentence.

Is there a lesson I could learn about this?

Also why no “article” here:

Why “vía conexión satélite”" and not via una conexión satélite

Thank you so much for being there. Glad to see you are doing well! And wishing you all to stay well!

I see that “el” and “la” are based off masculine or feminine. How do I know if a general noun (e.g. car) is masculine or feminine tense?

Translation of 'Thus'

thus declaring itself the Republic of Paraguay in 1813

The bot offers two possibilities:

1 .. proclamando así la República del Paraguay en 1813.

2 .. proclamándose de este modo la República del Paraguay en 1813.

I put ... proclamándose así la República del Paraguay en 1813. which was marked as an error.

Is there a difference in usage between 'así´ and 'de este modo'

Also, why is it la República del Paraguay but la República de Argentina ?

Gracias

Correction suggestion

Your second way to express things is numbered "1." instead of "2.".

Hi, what does A mean here? Can it be omitted and still be grammatically correct?

Thanks a lot,

With quantities: "más de" also possible?

In the first and the last but one example, could it instead be "no más de unas monedas", "no más de unos minutos", and if so, would it have a different meaning/connotation?

en los alrededores, hacer saber

hi,

there are thousands of taxis with which you can move around the city,

hay miles de taxis con los que puedes moverte por la ciudad,

can por la ciudad be replaced by en los alrededores de la ciudad?

Let me know = can we use hacer saber?
