Why is it: 

Esta oscuro, esta sol, esta hublado,esta nevando,

 but 

hace calor, hace frio,hace viento ?

Is there a rule that explains why the definite articles aren’t needed here even though mujeres and hombres are the subjects of the sentence?

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

Notice how for all these verbs, the vowel -e- from the infinitive that is closer to the end of the word becomes -i- except in the nosotros and vosotros forms.

Listen to these examples :

Ha dicho eso para que nos sintamos mejor.
He said that to make us feel better.

No os sintáis obligados a venir.
Don't feel obliged to come.

No mintamos más.
Let's not lie any more.

Is the wording correct, should "except" be deleted here?

HI Inma 

I'm not sure why the answer for this is conjugated singular (ha gustado) & not plural (han gustado);

Siempre me ________ leer autobiografías de gente famosa.

Thank you.

It's interesting to note that these two tense usages occur in English as well, e.g.

-- Oh, Albert's not at home. -- No, he was playing in a rugby match today, didn't he tell you?

-- What was the name, sir?

-- What were you asking for this painting?

-- Where were you going tomorrow?

Is "Le" at the beginning necessary or do I need it only for emphasis?

how to answer ¿Tú visitas a tus abuelos? using indirect direct object pronoun ?

Hola, 

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

Thanks,
