The english says “.. I wouldn’t trust them”. The spanish word for “them” is missing.
Thank you,

Why did we use ustedes instead of usted ?
the question was"
Es posible que ellas un nuevo estillo.
the HINT: conjugate 'crear' in el presente subjuntivo.
I wrote 'crean' but was marked incorrect - it should be 'creen'
I am sure that I am indeed wrong - but I don't understand why?!
Hi! I had a similar issue to Nicole taking a test today.
The question was:
¿A qué ________?What do you do?
I answered te dedicas and se dedica. It marked me incorrect for not choosing trabajas as well. But I thought it was "en que trabajas", not "a que". Is this an error w/ the quiz or am I not understanding something?
Thank you!
In Kwiziq, there's a lesson on -ito etc and a lesson on -illo etc. I'm living in Ecuador and have traveled around Central and South America a bit, and I've heard both groups of suffixes used in what seems to be the exact same way. I guess I'm looking for a little clarity on whether they are 100% interchangeable.
Am I correct that team -ito and team -illo mean the same thing - they make a word diminutive, softer, affectionate - and that the real difference is just in local usage? I can use either group of suffixes, and not be wrong, but one group is just more common in certain areas than the other?
My apologies if you've answered this elsewhere. I reviewed the other questions, and I did not find an answer that makes me confident that my understanding is correct.
And thanks, in advance for your help.
Is it common in Spanish to use the first name of a person and the formal form together?
Hi,
The word order in the above sentence confused me. If the word order was changed to:
¿Tu madre te dio el dinero?
would this change the meaning of the sentence?
If not, is the word order in the original sentence commonly used?
Thanks.

Hello, in this example linked to the lesson : So my question is when is it antes de and when is it antes que ? Is antes de only for temporal subjects (antes de la cena...) ? And is there also después que ? Thank you.
No es justo que vosotros antes que nosotros. (It's not fair that you'll die before us.) HINT: Conjugate "morir" in El Presente de Subjuntivo.
For the quiz question: "Mira a ese chico, ¡qué bueno está!
having both
" Look at that guy! He is hot!"
and
" Look at that guy! He is cute!"
as possible answers is confusing. In American English at least, there can be a great deal of overlap between hot and cute in terms of indicating sexual attractiveness. (Cute can also be applied to, say, a puppy whereas it's unlikely you would say a puppy was hot unless you meant it quite literally. It's debatable whether a cute puppy could grow into a hot dog.)
