Hola Inma,

I am a bit confused as to why Le can be used as a direct object pronoun. Is this only possible in this context or are there other situations where this is correct? Is there maybe already a lesson on this topic?

Thanks,

Deborah

In both cases, I was hesitant about whether to include the definite articles and I erred on the side of including them - which was wrong. 

#1 - I put "vamos a intercambiar las ideas" instead of just "ideas". I've found that in English we use the definite articles much less than in Spanish, so I think I need a refresher of when to use them and when to leave them out! Can you point me in the right direction?

#2  - And with "voy a salir de casa temprano" , I actually had put this correct answer first but then doubted myself and put "voy a salir temprano de la casa". Can you explain why this is wrong? Thanks!

Hello,

Why, for the translation of 'he is at his mother's house' is the spanish version 'el esta en casa de su madre' and not 'el esta en LA casa de su madre'? It feels strange that this article is dropped.

Thanks!

This lesson has no explanation as to when and why to use this tense . 

The lesson on pluscamperfecto is also poor.  

As a result I am frustrated. 

Examples alone are not sufficient. 

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

Why do the pronouns that refer to the grandparents collectively switch between "les" and "los" in the text? For example: "Los visito siempre que puedo y nunca les he visto tan felices en mi vida." 

Hola, 

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

Thanks,
