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

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.

Hola,

Not sure I’m entirely clear on this usage...

I get the ‘to what’... but I was surprised that it also means ‘at what’ in the mini-quiz (thinking that was more naturally ‘en qué’). Don’t think I saw this referenced in the lesson?

Is that the extent of it? - use ‘a qué’ for:

- To what

- At what

Gracias,

Because the first clause is in the past, wouldn't the second be in the contitional perfect?
