New lessons... how can I find out which lessons were recently added? Is there an updated list with the dates when the lessons were introduced?

Masculine or feminine?

How do I know when a noun is masculine or feminine?

Do I go off the last letter of the noun? Like planta and idea end in 'a' so I use una, but if it ends in an 'o' or any other letter besides 'a' then I say un.

Thank you for the answer. Please advise when the table is added. Le dieron un regalo. Le dieron un regalo a ella.

In your example and in Spanish grammar is the “a ella” repetition of the indirect object “le” essential or is it an optional extention added for the sake of clarity?

For the quiz question ¿ _____ venir a la alberca? (Do you want to come to the pool?) there are 40+ possible answers in the dropdown, including some which look like nonsense. Is this an error in the system?

Siente que su grado de veterinaria no le llenaHola Inma, The translation provided gave this as "she feels that her veterinary degree does not fulfil her." I know that there are other verbs which function in this way, where an indirect object is used instead of a direct object. I think this is the case with pedir, decir, preguntar for example, where the direct object is implied as communicating "something ... to another person." Thus in my above question is it that "No le llena" implies that her degree does not fulfil "something" in her. Is there a lesson about this, or is there a way of recognising these verbs, or do we learn them as we go? I hope this makes sense. Saludos John

El séptimo piso

Hola Inma,

I used "planta" rather than "piso," and was marked incorrect. Is there a subtle difference?

One of the questions refers to 1001 nights, but nowhere is there an example of over 1000, which is answered as mil.

Would 2001 years be los dos miles y uno año or would mil still be singular.
