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.
Hola,
This seems to translate as "in order to read it [to myself]." Is there a reason why both direct and indirect objects are used, and the direct object is not sufficient - i.e. leerlo??
Saludos
John
I'm guessing it's because it's the adverb of understand, not because it's the adjective of gente? Thank you!
Could "Personally" also be translated as "Para mi"?
I'd love to watch the narrator on this exercise. The lip movements when speaking Spanish area treat to watch . . .
In the examples using past actions in the main clause, either the pretérito imperfecto or the pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo are used. However, in the explanation it says the pretérito indefinido or the plusucmaperfecto.
In a quiz the question: How would you say "His name is Alan"? was marked incorrect when I answered: Te llamas Alan. It looks like this is correct. Am I missing something_
Although I understand this lesson, the quiz question "What is the gender of the word ____" seems to vague. My understanding is that, with living things, the gender of the word is determined by the gender of the person/animal etc it refers to. Therefore, without a pronoun or phrase to clarify, it seems to me the correct answer should be "don't know". Obviously, except in some very rare situations, "both" seems inaccurate. Would it be more "on point" to ask thequestion using a phrase?
Are these translations also valid:
"It was magnificent!" = "¡Qué magnífico!"
"I arrived in just two hours!" = "¡Tardé solo dos horas en llegar!"
"We also drank cava!" = "¡Bebimos cava también!"
Also, can "Después" be changed with "Luego"?
Thank you! I also found a very good website for pronunciation, listed by diphthongs, etc at:

which might be useful.
