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

What is the difference between:

Quiero que coma

y

Querer comer

Is it a certain nuance between saying "I want to eat" and "I want that I could eat?"

I'm a little confused here!

When nationalities that end in "e" are plural, when is an "s" added? Or is it never added?

Hello! Is there supposed to be a play button in this exercise?

"Tú ________ el primero de la lista." (You are the first on the list.)

I made a mistake on this one by using estar. My reasoning is it referred to a location (the first position on the list). It appears the answer you're looking for is to use ser, and that the recommendation is to treat the list and its contents as descriptive. 

Would this change if I said "You are the first in line?" Or should I still use the ser verb? Is it a description of a trait of the line, or is it a position that is relative?

Are these types of cases subjective? Or is it pretty common for everyone to use the same verb?

Hola, 

Why is the personal 'a' not used in 'conocemos gente'? Would 'conocemos a la gente' be an acceptable answer here?

Thanks,

The question (with no other information provided) is "Drive safely!.  One of the options is "Conducir con cuidado".There is another lesson on Requests / Commands / instructions where if I have got it right the infinitive is used without the preopisiton "a"..  Why doies it not work in this instance?
