In practice, are these alternatives used to the same extent as eachother? Is there a regional tendency to use one or the other?

Isn't there an exception for locations of events? For example in: "¿Dónde es la reunión?"

Hi,

My focus area is Latin America. I do see that this lesson is for peninsular Spanish, but I can't seem to find the appropriate equivalent lesson for L.A. Could you direct me to the correct page for Antes de que/Despues de que for L.A. students?

Thanks,

John Nolan 

Ok, I meant to ask earlier, but when I heard this same phrase for the third or fourth time while watching "¿Quién mató a Sara?" it just really started bugging me: this seems to be a great example of the impersonal ellos form (the whole premise is that he thinks she was killed but doesn't actually know who did it!) but I can't understand why that "la" is there. "La mataron" or "A Sara Mataron" I get, but how isn't it redundant to have both...? 

If anyone knows what's going on here, thanks in advance for any insight you're willing to offer! (but no spoilers please!) 😂 

Hello

Can you please share some example sentences for each of the above items?

It will help understand the application better.

Thanks 

‘We had to play football without kneepads’ - in English  we say shin pads (UK) or shin guards (US). Knee pads are what you use for skating. SpanishDict is telling me shin guards are ‘espinilleras’, but I have no knowledge about about which is correct/if one word may be used in a certain country and another elsewhere etc
