Spanish language Q&A Forum

I would like to know how can I go to next lesson after I finish answering the questions on this page.

Thank you so much! 

I’m confused between hace and hacía + time frame. Do you have a deep dive on this? Thanks

in number 8 why is it fue premiado and not estuvo premiado?

Este se negó a entregárselo. What does Este mean here? I know it means usually means  “this”.  

Thanks a lot, 

Shirley.

Is anyone else just chipping away at the Spanish lessons here hoping that one day they will understand enough to have the courage to talk to someone in Spanish?  I'm level B1 in the lessons, but probably A2 when it comes to writing, A1 when it comes to listening and A0 when it comes to converations! 
I fully understand I won't ever be fluent unless I talk with Spanish people, but I'm level C2 at making up reasons why today just isn't the day.

The question reads, "How would you say "The person I went to the party with was my father."

==============================================

The below answer was marked as a correct answer.

"La persona con la que fui a la fiesta era mi padre."

==============================================

Why use the pronoun, la, when the object is padre, a man?

Thank you, James
