I understand that plural feminine should be -as and plural masculine should be -os... The hint that they are feminine names made me opt for Delgadas but the answer was Delgado's... Why?
Hola
¡Lo que charla tu madre!
y
¡Cuánto charla tu madre!
estas frases son intercambiables? significan más o menos lo mismo?
(no importa, veo que esta pregunta ya ha sido hecha)
These are words are relative pronouns, but can they ever be used in a question as an interrogative pronoun? I assume that function is reserved for Cuál and Cuáles without el-lo-la-las.
Next, could "cuáles" be used in this quiz sentence: Voy a preguntar a la dependienta ________ lavadoras son más eficientes. trying to ask: which ones of these washing machines are more efficient?

The sing-songy intonation that he gives to everything he reads is distracting and seems completely unrealistic. Nobody that I've ever heard talks like that, and it makes the listening exercises for which he's the reader less useful than they otherwise would be. The selections that he reads always start with a long pause, as if he needed a cue and didn't get it, and, I always cringe in anticipation of yet another tra-la-laaaaa reading to have to transcribe. Honestly, who picked this guy? And did they discover him reading for story hour in some Spanish library's kids' section?
