Spanish language Q&A Forum

The English similarity although we don't use it anymore, they are growing up on us without us realizing or she is not eating on me and I am worried.

I just saw it in the forum and I think it should be added to the lesson since it is quite common. 

I answered 'si, tengo' but it was marked incorrect and should have been' si, los tengo'.   Would you explain please? Many thanks.

Please explain Me quisiera vs quisiera

Does «media naranja» (soulmate) literally mean "orange sock"? How did this term for "soulmate" develop in Spanish culture?

In this sentence:  "Les lanzo la pelota y deben apagarla con las dos manos."  

I throw you the ball, and you must stop it with two hands.

I don't understand the use of 'Les" is it referring to 'you"?

What if you want to say I have to finish the speech for Thursday (instead of by Thursday) in the sense that it is Thursday's speech? Would it be, Tengo que terminar el discurso que es para el jueves? o el discurso de jueves..? 

Gracias, 

For anyone struggling with how and when to use Sentir and Sentirse, just read both Silvia's and Inma's replies to Garry's question. It took me a good while to use the correct verb too.

The explanations given here by Silvia and Inma are invaluable and so comprehensive. 

We are so lucky to have such a great team of teachers! 

Can: 

"Mi madre, esa mujer me la recuerda."

mean either one:

"Esa mujer me recuerda a mi madre." (similar)

"Esa mujer me recuerda mi madre." (brought to mind)

In the test question, How would you say "I have eaten only fruit for a week."?, the answer was Desde hace una semana solo como fruta.

But I chose Desde hace una semana solo he comido fruta. Why isn't that one correct, given the "have eaten?"
