Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi, my initial thought was that we would rather use an article before the noun in the following sentence: "...que el candidato conozca el derecho internacional". Could you please explain?

The answer given is “han tomado”. I don’t think tomado has been covered. I thought it should be tímido. Can you please explain?

Does anyone here run a conversation group to practice lives zoom etc.? I'm not looking to join tandem or meetup.

Lesson = Me gusta viajar en tren.  Why not gusto?  I like = gusto, right?  Also, pretty much the same question for the use of cuesta, not cuesto in this lesson. Aren't they referring to the (masculine) ticket (el billete)?  I have a feeling I am missing something covered in our lessons!  

(As always, thank you for your help)

While i was doing the exercise ,the suggested answer was "Para ver las fotos o los videos", but here without articles? In this sentence, should we use las/los or not?

Do all ordinal numbers ending in 1/3 undergo the change? I understand the first word will not  (decimoprimero or  vigésimo tercero  will  NOT be decimprimero or vigésim tercero),, BUT  the second (primero/tercero) does?? 

Ex/ decimoprimer.

vigésimo tercer

Why is “looking for solutions for their diseases” translated in the singular “su enfermedad” instead of the plural “sus enfermedades”? Thank you. 

Still struggling with this (and I can see I am not alone based on some comments, lol). Can I share my thinking and you tell me where I am making my mistake? On the quiz the question was: El policía persiguió al ladrón ________ no lo atrapó. (The policeman chased the thief but he didn't catch him. I went back and forth between "pero" and "sino que" for quite a while!  I thought "pero" would work because it makes a contrast (chased / caught). But, then I noted the change in verbs before and after "but," (persiguio / atrapo) and thus used "sino que." This issue, where I feel a note a second verb is one of the largest reasons I keep getting this wrong. How should I be approaching this differently? Thanks as always for your help! PS - I didn't use proper accents above as when I do my computer kicks me out of this program!
