Is there a lesson that deals with how to pronounce when two words one ending with a vowel and another beginning with a vowel. It seems that in this case it is pronounced hasta-l amanecer... is it correct that the latter vowel is omitted?
Why isn't it 'Los estudiantes les dan los deberes al profesor'
I'm having brain death when it comes to the following concepts:
1. alguno alguna algunos algunas - when to use the singular forms vs. the plural forms
2. ninguno ninguna ningunos ningunas - when to use the singular forms vs. the plural forms
3. I cannot distinguish between pero and sino que. i Have no problem with sino, itself.
I have read the explanations of these topics at least 10 times and I still get them wrong in my quizzes. During my reading of the explanations my brain gets all fogged up and I can't make the necessary distinctions.
I always appreciate the richness of meanings in the examples. Could you please tell me if my list is correct?
(1) Salir con alguien - go out with someone
(2) Salir con (an item of clothing) - to go out wearing something
(3) salir de un lugar - to leave a place
(4) salir a un lugar - to go out to a place
(5) something you did + salir - something turned out a certain way
(6) salir bien vestidos - to go out well dressed.
Thanks.
Hola,
Re: Se la había comprado.
How can one tell when reading or hearing this sentence, - if it was a standalone sentence - that the “se” means the plural “les” .
For example if this sentence is entered in Reverso: “Se la abía comprado.” they translate it as “ I had bought it for "him”. So there’s no way to know from the sentence that it was bought for “plural someones”.
Would this conundrum ever happen in real life, i.e. in converstion or writing, or would it always be clear from the preceding sentence?
Thank you for your patience,
Nicole
The quiz answer (shown below) and the lesson information don't match. I wonder if you could help explain. I don't see anywhere in the Lesson where it says, "Arriba, corriendo" means "Hurry, run!" Is that information in another lesson?
comsumiendo alimentos sanos en ella . Ia refers to alimentos why not en ello?
Kind regards,

What is the reason for this exercise being in the past perfect tense? Could it also be in the preterite?
