Despite not appropriate in one example.

Four examples in the lesson. In the last three ,you could translate con lo que as "despite"but that would not make sense in the first example and seems not to fit the pattern.

No sé cómo no estás agotado con lo que corres.I am surprised you are not exhausted with all the running you do. ¿Vas a salir con lo que llueve?Are you going out despite all that rain? Me sorprende que esté tan delgado con lo que come.I can't believe how thin he is given how much he eats. Con lo que me ha costado este curso y ahora no es válido.After all the effort I made to do this course and now it turns out that it's not valid.

Cuando again¡A ver ________ encuentras un buen trabajo! Let's see when you find a good job! I fear this one could rumble on for ever. One interpretatyion in Englis could be: " I'll see about that the day you get a decent job. A statement and no implicit question.(HINT: ¿Cuándo or cuando?)

Hemos sidos?

I was just marked wrong when I answered a test question with 'hemos sido'. I was told that the correct answer was 'hemos sidos.' There is no sidos in the conjugation that I can find. What is this?

a la calle, por la calle, en la calle

Hello Kwiziq,

Is there a rule for when to use 'a la calle'? I think I know the difference between por/en la calle but this 'a la calle' caught me out.

Kind regards

Dee

Examples with z

I think it would also be helpful to have examples with the conjugates that still have 'z', so that we know how it sounds and how to pronounce it correctly.

Examples and agreement

The lesson says "Remember that when you use this structure with an adjective, the adjective must agree with the subject." but none of the examples actually demonstrate this. It might be a good idea to throw in some feminine and plural adjective examples to more explicitly demonstrate the agreement!
