Hello, in this exercise the English for litre is spelt "liter" in one of the lines.  Thanks

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...

Sometimes the answers require the feminine 'a' but there isn't any context in the question as to the gender of the subject. 

Unless I'm mistaken, which is highly probable  :)

Would you explain why it is el hacha afilada, but it is una ave bonita, please.  Both have feminine modifiers.  I’m becoming more confused as I go.  

Here’s an explanation that I found elsewhere:

“Feminine nouns that begin with a stressed "a-" or "ha-" sound in Spanish use the definite article "el" in the singular."

The example given is:
"Who's incredibly attractive; a real night owl.  Sí, pero indica que no es un ave de paso.”

The above example uses un, not una.

I don’t see any explanation in this unit as to use of the Subjunctive and yet many of the verbs in the examples are in the Subjunctive. Could you make it explicit what this depends on?  Thank you. 

Hi,

How do I use estados unidos with todo?

Sample question: "Creo que yo estoy a punto de encontrar la solución." 

Is there a reason the "estoy" isn't subjunctive? If it were "espero que" instead of "creo que" would that matter? 

Doesn't it depend on what the speaker wants to express, whether a subjunctive or indicative of sonar would be used here? Wouldn't "Cuando suena" (indicative) also be a valid way to put it, if the speaker thinks about the event as actually happening?

Because if so, I wouldn't know which answer to pick in the quiz, because they were presented as alternatives.

Thank you!

Shouldn’t ‘tengo’ in the first line be ‘tenga’ in the subjunctive? Why isn’t it?
