Spanish language Q&A Forum

There is a question/answer set that may need attention, unless I'm really having a memory lapse!

The question is...

Which sentence reaffirms the fact that he does know about it:

The answer choices are...

En cuanto lo sepa.
Sí yo lo supiera.
Sí que lo sé.

...with "Sí que lo sé" being marked as correct.

Again, unless I'm really forgetting something here... I think either the question should be...
"Which sentence reaffirms the fact that you do know about it:"

...OR the correct answer should be:
Sí que lo sabe.

If I am forgetting something here, I will be happily corrected/reminded!

I have a question about constructions like this: "Omar y Cristina son nuestros panaderos," e.g. "Omar and Cristina are our bakers." I understand it is "nuestros" because it is the nosotros form of the possessive adjective. However, I'm confused about the gender. Why is it masculine here?

Could someone please tell me why I was told it's wrong here in this quiz?

Kqiziq (B1): El año pasado visité todas las ciudades de Cataluña ___________ Tarragona (Last year I visited all the cities in Catalonia except for Tarragona). 

The options given: menos/sino/pero/aunque/incluso. 

I chose «sino», and I was marked wrong. The correct answer was «menos». I, of course, accept «menos», but why is «sino» wrong here??

I love reading and listening to the travel stories, or diaries.  These 3 audios are perfect examples. 
Even though we can google all the needed information, it´ll be even greater if some culture insights or backgrounds can be included in the introduction to these lessons, especially when talking about local cuisines.  

Question about ¡Qué delicioso! 
 in the text, the mochilero had eaten all the food in feminine forms, such as arroz, trucha frita, yuca y salsa. 
Shouldn't it be 
¡Qué deliciosa! instead?

¡ Guau! He leído las preguntas y respuestas sobre la voz pasiva y la pasiva refleja, y me ayudó muchisimo.

Muchas gracias a los estudiantes por tus preguntas especificas y claras. Y muchas gracias a Inma por tus descripciones claras y simples. 

I have a question about the placement of the subject when using la pasiva refleja.

First, the examples ...

Se buscan secretarias con experiencia.

Aquí se vende el periódico barato.

Se venden apartamentos de lujo en la playa.

Mis cortinas nuevas se han hecho en dos días.

Las negociaciones se harán pronto.

In the top 3 examples the subjects are:

secretarias con experiencia, el periódico barato y apartamentos de lujo.

In the last 2 examples, the subjects are:

Mis cortinas nuevas y las negociaciones.

Obviously, the position of the subjects is different. Is there any reason or do they have the same meaning?

Could, for example, the first 3 sentences be written as..

Secretarias con experiencia se buscan.

 El periódico barato se vende aquí.

Apartamentos de lujo se venden en la playa.

?

Por fin...

Could the last two sentences be written as ..

Se han hecho mis cortinas nuevas en dos días.

 Se harán las negociaciones pronto.

??

Muchas gracias de antemano!

Hi, there are two questions on the quiz that I don't understand: (1) "Esos chicles son mentolados pero  ____  no tienen sabor" and (2) "Esos estudiantes van a viajar a Asia pero ________ no tienen dinero." Kwiziq is saying that the correct demonstrative pronoun in both cases is "estos." However, my understanding was that demonstrative pronouns should vary in gender with the noun they refer to, unless it isn't known or we are referring to statement, idea, or situation. In 1, the noun being referred to is "chicles," which is a masculine plural noun, so the demonstrative pronoun should be "estes," not estos, correct? With 2, I understand that we may not know the gender of the group, so we use esto. Can you explain?

I wrote "Que si hermosos palacios, que si parques espectaculares.." but I was corrected to "que si hermosa°s palacios que si parques espectaculares...".  I thought I heard hermosOs not hermosAs, and shouldn't the O be correct anyway? 

I have a screenshot of this if it is helpful.
