Repetition of direct pronounThe use of repeated pronouns like in "la música la hemos usado ..." always confuses me. Is the extra 'la' here because the object is at the start of the clause, so it would translate literally as: "music, we have always used it ..."?

Error Misprint

Hi... so sorry. There was a problem on my own Google page. It was interpreting the Spanish as French for some reason !!!. I got it sorted. Sorry again for the hassle.

Why is “mira” made to match with tú?"mira (tú) qué bien", "mire (usted) qué bien"

I don’t understand why “mira” is made to match with “tú” and “mire” with “Usted”. Shouldn’t “Usted” match both?

El condicional perfectoHola Silvia, tengo una pregunta

1.vosotros habríais vivido en California antes de mudaros a irlanda(conditional perfect)

2.vosotros habréis vivido en California antes de mudaros a irlanda(future perfect)

Are these two sentences correct and can the conditional perfect and future perfect be used interchangeably.

Quiz question confusion

"Ella ha roto con él pero ________ así él sigue insistiendo.

She broke up with him but even so he keeps trying.

(HINT: aún or aun?)"

I've already forgotten which I picked, but I got it wrong. My confusion is that according to the lesson, both "aun así" and "aún así" mean "despite that". I can't think of a sentence in English where "even so" is not interchangeable with "despite that". It certainly seems like they are interchangeable in the quiz question above. Is there a nuance that I'm not grasping that explains why only one of the options is correct?

What if I wanted to say "the other lamp" instead of "another lamp"?
