Hi Inma
Thanks for your quick response.
By extension can I also combine nunca and tampoco in the same sentence as shown below
Ella no pudo nunca entender tampoco la pregunta.
Ella no pudo entender nunca tampoco la pregunta.
Ella no pudo entender nunca la pregunta tampoco.
Ella nunca pudo entender la pregunta tampoco.
In the phrase
"If... , they'd have given you a decent room." I understand why hubieran dado is correct, but isn't hubiesen dado also an acceptable form of the pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo?What is the correct position of adverb in a sentence, before or after verb?
Mostly, I've seen it being placed before the verb but here hay comes before también. I know the reverse is correct, but my question is hay an exception to such cases where adverb may appear before verb?
Me extraña que él quiera venir al cine con nosotras. (I'm surprised he wants to come to the cinema with us.)
I'm confused by what appears to be third person (extraña) rather than first person (extraño) in this sentence. Please explain. Is it similar to use of the verb "gustar" --- where third person is used?

Hola,
Does 'vaya fastidio' here mean, 'what a nuisance'? If it does, then I really like this. I shall be using this at home during this never ending lockdown! My 23 year old, who is not a home usually, is beginning to drive me crazy, haha.
Hi,
I came across the below question in the quiz on this lesson. Am I missing the part where “and she is affected by it” becomes important?
QUESTION:
Choose the correct sentence expressing: "Her baby doesn't eat any fruit and she is affected by it."
CORRECT ANSWER:
Su bebé no le come nada de fruta.
Other choices:
Por ella el bebé no come nada de fruta.Para ella no come su bebé nada de fruta.El bebé no come nada de fruta.To me it sounds a bit contradictive in this lesson: first, you say "nouns that end in a consonant and refer to inanimate objects are generally masculine" and then you continue with "you cannot predict the gender of inanimate objects".
I have no problem with having to memorize things, but I think that first part may be confusing to some, so it might be better to just leave it out.
I'm very much enjoying the lessons in general though. ¡Gracias!
I still can't get it right when to use the definite article. La televisión or just televisión? Television in general? It's always a 50-50 guess for me.
In my dashboard test there are two correct answers using the future tense of continuar and seguir, but the English hint is in the present tense. Th e word “will” to indicate future tense is absent. Shirley.
