Sentirse vs sentir

The test question is:

She feels that she is not progressing much at work.The answer is siente. This doesn't seem correct because:
      1. it is not followed by a noun
     2. It describes a complex subjective feeling

¡Qué (noun/adjective)! or ¡Cuánto (noun/adjective)!

I've seen both qué and cuánto in exclamatory sentences. I understand when it's clearly the number of something ( ¡Cuántos gatos! ) but when it's something less countable (e.g. "¡Qué orgulloso!" or "¡Cuánto orgulloso!" how do you tell which one to use?

Why irse not ir?Él se fue de acampada con sus amigos ________ en casa tranquila. He went camping with his friends while I studied at home quietly. Hi, I’m confused about se fue here. Does it mean he went AWAY camping? rather than he went camping? Thanks, Shirley.

Use of definite article

I know this keeps coming up, but in the examples we see: “las llaves de la casa”, and “la reserva de hotel”. Both these expressions follow the structure of NOUN + DE + NOUN. Why do we only use “la” for the first one?

Ending with a consonant

Hi,

Sometimes a word ending with a consonant takes the diminutive suffix 'illo' and other times it takes 'cillo'.  Is there a rule for this or do we have to remember which is which?

Best regards,

Colin

Estar/ser

I know ser means ‘to be’ in terms of characteristics and estar means ‘to be’ in temporary sense or in terms of location but why does this exercise use estar for ‘to be clear’ and ‘is cloudy’ but ser for ‘can be unstable’?
