Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi!
After going through this lesson, I understand that these endings are used to soften the words, and in some cases I understand why you would use it, but there are also some cases where I'm not sure why you would use it. For example, for "hace calorcillo", why would you want to soften this sentence? I can't see what the meaning would be? 

Hi there,.

I'm struggling to find a translation for el garillo. Could you explain what this phrase means? (me voy a llevar la mano con el garillo)

Many thanks

Dee

Could it be used with he comprado instead of compro?

In the question "En el viaje ________ un niño atrás", the answer was 'se nos quedó'. Could you give a literal translation of this sentence because otherwise it seems like the verb agrees with the object of the sentence rather than the subject. I guess I'm asking for a way of translating quedar in my head so that even if it makes the English awkward, I can also keep straight subject and object (much like I can substitute "is pleasing" for gustar). 

Thanks! 

 Al haberse portado tan mal, lo expulsaron del colegio.

the pronoun se came right after haber not after portado nor in front of haber.

This is different from any other rules I knew, like:

Me lo dijo. Me lo ha dicho. Dímelo ! Quiero dárselos.

So which rule applies to this ? 

In the above example the English translation refers to “she”, but am I correct, that there is nothing in the spanish 

sentence that refers to a “she”? In fact, wouldn’t “le” normally default to the masculine?

In this question, would both of these answers be correct for: How would you say "The little girls who I went to the park with were your daughters."?

Las niñas con las que fui al parque eran tus hijas.

Las niñas para las que fui al parque eran tus hijas.

Buenas team,

Just to confirm - we say: me gusta el chocolate, and we also say me gusta comer chocolate?

We don't say me gusta comer el chocolate?

The definite article is always removed when we have the verb there?

Muchisimas gracias,

I was wondering why there is no comma in some sentences containing a clause - for example:  

A medida que salían de la clase les devolvíamos los móviles a los estudiantes.

Conforme vayan llegando los invitados ofréceles una copa de vino.

Hello, I don’t understand why it is “le ayudó” rather than “lo ayudó” in the final sentence. To me, it is saying she helped him, so “him” is a direct object which would suggest “lo”.   Thanks for your help.  Tony
