I don't understand the first example:
Lo he visto a él primero, y después a ella.
I understand the 'lo' to match the 'a él', but why doesn't the 'a ella' have a corresponding 'la'?
thanks
I've come across an online site that made a statement about Spanish adjectives of nationality that end in an accented e, i.e., é. However after poring through my various resources, I haven't been able to find such an adjective that ends in é, with an accent. I believe the English nationality of Burkina Faso is Burkinabé, but that is a noun. I need adjectives.
Do you have any suggestions? I hope you can assist me in this matter.
I look forward to contributing to the answers that others have, too.
Thank you in advance.

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 still don't understand why this is incorrect:
Ella tiene dos casas y los dos están en Miami.She has two houses and both are in Miami.
In this exercise, the phrase "Este torero es cordobés." is pronounced by your recorded speaker as if the final word is spelled "cordobéz". Which is correct?
Hi,
I noticed that the test is missing in this lesson.
I would also like to ask whether one could say vigilando a todo lo que pasa/vigilando a todo quien pasa?
thank you

Hola,
I found the following example from one of the questions for the El imperfecto de subjuntivo.
Tal vez supiera qué fue lo que pasó aquella noche.
Maybe he knew what happened that night.
Would the following be correct too?
Tal vez supiera lo que pasó aquella noche.
Does the meaning change at all? If I wanted to say "I know what you did yesterday" would it be "Sé qué fue lo que hiciste ayer" or "Sé lo que hiciste ayer"?
Can you provide some explanation on why “cada de los invitados” does not work? The quiz said that choice was incorrect when the correct answers were “cada uno de los invitados” and “cada invitado”. Gracias!
