Spanish language Q&A Forum

I have read all the correspondance around this lesson, but my problem has not surfaced. It is this:-

if 'mirar' is intransitive and needs pronoun 'a' before inanimate objects, then I don't have a problem. If, however, it is transitive and takes a direct object ( of inanimate objects ) then I cannot see why there is an indirect  object pronoun at all. Can you explain?

These seem to have similar constructions for similar meanings (interim completion of an action that may continue). Is there a distinction between them I'm not getting? 

I was just reading over the questions, and wondered about this one:

"with some adjectives like mucho/mucha, hambre would take the feminine form (mucha hambre). It works the same way as the word "agua": (el agua caliente, but mucha agua caliente)"

Is there a rule and  lesson that covers this? It certainly is a curious phenomena.

I got this sentence in a quiz

No puedo ver _____ en la muchedumbre.  

The answer was "a Paula y Cristina".    

I notice that sometimes you put an a before every name, like "a Paula y a Cristina". Is this optional, or are there certain circumstances when the a is required before each person?   

I would like to find the lessons that correlate to the 'bad' areas of my brainmap, to add them to a notebook. In a perfect world, I would just click on the brainmap area to get to them, but as this isn't possible, what's the quickest way to find them please?

¡Hola!

Could you please provide me with Spanish equivalents for modal structures of probabality:

-Must/might/may/could + be (+ V-ing);

past probabality:

-Must have/might have/may have/could have + past participle (+ V-ing);

and their negative forms

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Alexander
