I'm a little confused as to why one use of hacer seems to actually be employing hacerse. The example I'm referring to is below:
Me hice construir un anexo al lado...
Why wasn't this written simply as "Hice contruir un anexo al lado..."?
Another way to ask my question concerns another example.
Hicieron pintar de nuevo ...
Why was this example not structured as Nos hicieron pintar de nuevo...?

El idea fue de Julián.
Male would be el
Female would be la
Es correcto?
Why uno and not unos?
Hola,
'Estamos a 28 de diciembre' should also be considered correct here, right?
I noticed in the given examples in the lesson for estar to talk about dates, that 'estamos a' is always followed by a date written in words. Is it acceptable to use 'estamos a' followed by a date in digits?
Thanks,

In a children's story, people named a baby tapir "Tapete". Does the name carry a meaning of affection by changing the word tapir and making it sound cute? Or do they just want to name the baby tapir with the meaning of the word "mat"? Thank you!
How do we know to use para ser vs para una?
Regarding "After I tried so hard...", couldn't "Despúes de que me esforzara tanto..." be another acceptable answer?
I think this might be more common in written Spanish?
Saludos
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.
When to use "hay que" vs "se debe"?
From lesson:
"Hay que recoger cuando ellos terminen.We have to tidy up when they finish."
1. "Los históricos" seems to be an example of an adjective used as a noun? - [a feature of Spanish which may have been encouraged by its prevalence in Arabic, perhaps?]
2. I actually typed in "Las históricas" - because I thought that it was referring to las "estadísticas", and thus had to be feminine ?
