Kwiz going wrong?In the kwiz, I got:
¿Vive aquí ________ Julia Pérez? Tengo un paquete para ella.
as I saw both first name and last name, according to the lesson, I used 'la doña'. I quote:
We use "don" and "doña" in a very similar way to the titles señor/señora. In English these are also the equivalent of Mr. or Mrs. but with the difference that we use them followed by the person's first name or followed by both first name and surname, but never just their surname.
The example even shows: Hemos otorgado el premio a don Javier Cuevas.
Yet, the answer tells me it should have been 'la señora', while in the lesson, no example is to be found stating the combination of 'la señora' (or el señor for that matter) followed by both first and last names.
Is the kwiz wrong here, or am I still missing a clue?

Please note, when I eliminate the pronoun to the verb ie yo tiene - tiene, it is marked incorrectly;
also when the object is relating to a profession ,ie,: Yo soy una cantera it's marked incorrectly and sometime it is the opposite.
Is there any reasons as to why this is the case.
Hola,
A little confused on the structure of this:
Deja que yo busque la carretera en el mapa.
It's the part that deja plays - I'm interpreting it as imperative. I'm thinking it should be dejame, or something like that?
Gracias,
¡Feliz Navidad a Inma, Shui y todo el equipo...que lo paséis bien! :))
As the question did not specify of give a hint as to whether "You" was formal or informal or even singular or plural, there are 4 possible corect answers and the computer chose only informal singular.
Why is this written like this: Esta noche especial voy a ir a un cotillón
The english said: I am going to a party, NOT I am going to go to a party
Should it be : Voy a un cotillón
Hola Inma,
You explain that we don't always need the articles though in certain phrases where we are not expressing a percentage of something but the lesson uses examples that all express percentages of something – where the ‘something’ is natural, eco-friendly, Spanish ancestry, and so on.
So can you please clarify to me why Cien por ciento de los vecinos apoyaron la decisión is incorrect and El 100 por cien de los vecinos apoyaron la decisión is correct?
I’m sorry but I have become quite confused with this particular lesson.
In the first question of the quiz above, why is there no personal 'a' before 'este cliente'. Would it be more grammatically correct to write 'conseguir a este cliente' considering that the customer is a person? Thank you!
