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
Why is it “mucha” not “mucho”? Is it because it modifies Coca Cola?
· I know her: Le conozco / La conozco
There is a lot of discussion on the internet about whether “him” and “her” are direct objects of conocer that should use lo and la.
When is "de la mañana" used?
Si viniérais, os ________ una paella riquísima. If you guys came, we would make a delicious paella for you.HINT: Using the "nosotros" form, conjugate "hacer" in El Condicional Simple
Because the first clause is in the past, wouldn't the second be in the contitional perfect?
Si viniérais, os habríamos hecho una paella?
Hello,
I found myself in quite a bit of confusion, and this may/may not be due to the fact that the same grammatical "term" has different names but are/may be the same thing.
I have spent hours trying to decipher these various terms and wonder if you could please tell me
1) if any are the same thing and
2) what possible synonyms/terms could we come across in both Spanish and English for each of them?
3) a short explanation for each (and/or referral to a lesson)
Terms in question:
Pasiva Refleja
The Passive Se
Impersonal Se (pronoun “one”/impersonal "you")
Se impersonal refleja
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
One of the questions involved translating a sentence that mentions a “youngest daughter.” I used “muy joven” but the answer was “pequeño.” I thought that pequeño means small, so this use of the word surprises me. Is it just one of those things one has to know?
Thanks for your help!

I can say "I like white wine" and also "I prefer white wine". Is it the same in Spanish? - I know there's a difference (i.e. comparison vs general) and wondering how similar it is to the English usage (which can be subtle at times).
In the Kwiz at the bottom, "usteden" is used. What is this form? I have heard of vosotros for "you all", or "ustedes" for "you" when speaking to a group. But "usteden" is new to me. Can you clarify?
