When referring to objects, would you always use 'el' instead of 'lo'?
Why doesn't "Lo de estilo victoriano me parece más valioso" work?
I thought there was supposed to be an article for the things we like except for people or places. Example says "Le gusta comer pescado." Inspead of Le gusta comer el pescado.
I just saw it in the forum and I think it should be added to the lesson since it is quite common.
hi,
i would like to clarify a few questions.
Este día tan especial = This special day - why do we use ´tan´?
el día siguiente = the following day - i might have mistaken, but i thought ´siguiente´ is to be placed before the noun ´día´?
Ojala, ustedes ganen el primer premio.
It might be worth rewording the Hint given with "... one of the industries that benefited the most from this new technology" > "... una de las industrias más beneficiadas de esta nueva tecnología".
It reads: "The adjective "new" refers to another or a newly-acquired technology rather than its condition". We were referred to Position of adjectives in Spanish - [reference number 6982] and I thought your hint implied that 'nueva' was acting to differentiate the noun 'tecnología' [i.e., to distinguish it from others] - rather than to 'emphasise' it.
This grading of this question appears to be an error on the part of Progress. Conditional Perfect is the answer specified, which is "no habríamos muerto" and is the answer that I provided The answer from Progress is given as "no hubiéramos muerto" and is Preterito Plumamperfecto Subjuntivo, not Condicional Perfecto.

I was glad that my father came to see me=Me alegré de que mi padre viniera a verme but
I was glad because my father came to see me=Me alegré porque mi padre vino a verme
and
It saddens me that my father came to see me=Me entristece que mi padre viniera a verme
but
It saddens me because my father came to see me=Me entristece porque mi padre vino a verme
I have seen this with other expressions of feeling and when I put it into various translators I always get the same thing. I realize that changing from "that" to "because" slightly changes the meaning but why does it go from subjunctive to indicative in going from "que" to "porque?"
