Saludos
"También recordó las alegrías cotidianas, por ejemplo los paseos por el parque con su perro Turco y las noches de cine en casa con su familia.".My translator offers two possible translations one of which includes las before " alegrías," los before "paseos" and las before " noches" and another which excludes them. Do the objects have to be used here, or are there regional variations ?

This is a good concise explanation, but having more targeted practice opportunities would help me progress in this area.
Do you want me to pick you up at five?"? (HINT: you=vosotros)
I think the English translations could be modified to be a bit more natural sounding. since you=vosotros is plural English speakers would say "Do you all/yall (local to southern US)/you guys" want me to pick you up.
would people agree with this?
Surely both versions are about "how" the speaker feels:
Cada vez que veo esa película siento escalofríos. - Every time I see that movie it gives me the shivers. (lit: I feel the shivers)
versus: Rafael se siente mareado. ¡Trae un vaso de agua! - -Rafael is feeling dizzy. Bring a glass of water!
There must be a better way to determine which version to use, no?
Or is it that with sentir it's when an external force is affecting the speaker and with sentirse it's a matter of personal, internal sensation/emotion. It seems to be a very fine line of definition . . .
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.
It seems to me that this "HINT" is misplaced. The question seems clearly to be an if/conditional expression so what exactly is the point of the "wish/intention in the present"??
¿Ha oído o visto usted "Use your spanish", "why not spanish" y "SpanishLand school" en YouTube? Todos esos YouTubers son de Colombia y ellos hablan español bellamente como música legato. Para mi, hablar español con acento no significa la voz profesional regional, sólo la voz regional.
En la segunda oración... ¿Solo puede ser (como dado en la traducción), o puede ser también ?
Because... the English given was "Finally we are going on a cruise" (literally, "Por fin vamos de crucero"); and of course "Por fin vamos a ir de crucero" would literally be "Finally we are going to go on a cruise". I understand that the meaning underneath the use of the present tense English translation that was given indicates a future event; I'm just hoping for clarity about the correctness or acceptability of using the present tense in Spanish in this case. Thank you!
