Que/quien/el cual ... ¿'el que' también o no?Hi teachers,
(I know there are other lessons on this, which I've done, but I'm still confused) - Following on from Melissa's question below and using the same example for clarity;
The relative pronoun 'el/la que' doesn't appear in this lesson,
what would be the difference then, if we said 'El director del colegio, EL QUE trabaja duro, es respetado por todos?'
I've always understood el/la que to mean 'THE ONE who/which', so I would think using 'el que' would imply there are two headteachers, one who works hard and is respected, and one who doesn't.
But in a grammar book I have, it gives the example; 'Esta autora, que/quien/la cual/LA QUE vive en Brasil, va a visitar nuestra ciudad', (This author, WHO lives in Brasil...)
Please help me to understand. Thanks.
Confession. I always cheat on questions regarding the second person plural because I live in California where I have frequent opportunities to use Spanish and hope to have more both at home and in travels to Central and South America. No disrespect to Spain, but is there any way to alter my tests so they exclude questions which test Spanish as it's spoken in Spain. Thanks.
I have a couple of questions:
How to determine when to use en/el or no article in sentences like Me gusta ir a la playa en verano
From the exercise:
I like going to the beach in summer
Kwizbot Me gusta ir a la playa en verano
You Me gusta ir a la playa el verano
In writing the adjective for this next section, it made me realize that I need info on forming adjectives and wondered if you have any lessons on forming adjectives:
For example, from the test:
Re: is very relaxing
Kwizbot es muy relajante
You es muy relajado
Thank you,
Nicole
I don't remember seeing this structure/ tense of haber + past participle in the previous lessons.
Quiza Miguel no haya aprobado.
Could you please point me in the right direction to find where this is taught?
Thank you.
Nevermind, I found this a little later in the B1 section to conjugate haber in present subjunctive, then there is a link in that lesson for the present perfect subjunctive for haber.
what does the > symbol mean when used in e>ie, e>i, etc?
Hola,
In this sentence, Gabriel was going to be helped financially by his parents
Gabriel decidió comprar el piso puesto que sus padres iban a ayudarle económicamente.
Why is Gabriel an indirect object, so ayudarle, as opposed to ayudarlo?
I'm guessing it is because there is a hidden direct object of money?
It's a bit hard for me to get my head around Gabriel being an indirect object because they help him, rather than help him with help (money in this case)!
Gracias,
Hi there, I find the adjective position of "la nueva red 5G" very interesting here. I can see how it could also be "la red 5G nueva".
I'm a telecoms engineer (ex Telefonica) and technically the 5G network is "brand new" and "newly created" and it is not intended to replace the other networks of 2G, 3G, 4G etc at the time if it's creation. I'd say that both adjective placements could be argued for in this exercise.
To really make my day, illustrations would have been great. Do they exist?

I'd love to watch the narrator on this exercise. The lip movements when speaking Spanish area treat to watch . . .
