Articles in Spanish + Matching gendersHi Kwiziq Team,
Please may I ask the following questions:
1) 'Soy profesora de español' - I am a Spanish teacher.
**Why is the answer not 'Soy una profesora de español' - why is there no need for the 'una' / 'a' in this sentence?
2) 'Está en el centro de la ciudad' - It is in the centre of the city.
**Why would the correct sentence not be 'Está en el centra de la ciudad' - would 'centro' not need to change to 'centra' to work with 'la ciudad' which is feminine?
Or is 'centro' simply a location, not an adjective in this example so doesn't have to change gender?
Apologies if my questions are confusing! Thanks very much for your help! Great website!

Bueno
Porque usar « A »
Porque usar « le » , no « la » (esta femina)??
A question in the quiz said “estoy viendo un documental en la tele”. Why would this not be mirando en lugar de viendo?
Can I use que instead of el/la/los/las que? Would the meaning be similar only with less emphasized pronoun ... who instead if the one who?
Aquella mujer, que/ la que...
Hi,
In an above question
¿ ________ curáis las heridas con algodón?
Do you treat your wounds with cotton wool?
My answer was Te,
however the right answer was ( os )
can someone please explain why vosotros is used instead of tu?
You implied that we should use "Adentrarse en" but "Adentrarse por" was given in the answer without a reference to "Adentrarse en". Which is correct?
In another sentence you advised lit' "we dined on some sandwiches" but "en" was not included in "cenábamos unos bocadillos". A bit confusing, no?
¡Dios mio! Rafael Luis Díaz habló demasiado rápido para mí. No pude seguir el rítmo de su cuento. Al menos aprendí más vocabulario.
I understand that saying:
"Hoy, hace mucho calor" and "Hoy hace frio" are both correct.
Is it correct to use the adjective, "caliente" to describe the weather?
And, if so, would you say: "Esta mucho caliente." or "Hace mucho caliente." ?
Gracias!
