One of the sentences top practise this lesson is "Instrumentos africanos han sido tocados por los músicos". A lot of Spaniards told me to rather not place the subject first when it has no article, as it wouldn't sound good in there opinion. Could I alternatively say "han sido tocados instrumentos africanos ...", or doesn't this work?

Hi I am a bit confused between vuestro and tu for yours.  Could I say 'El chico es tu primo'?

Thanks

The book is as good as the series.

Pienso que desde la serie es femenino, bueno debe ser buena?

It should be: "El armario estará listo para ser usado todo el invierno."

Also any high-school Spanish teacher would wince at the sight of all those misplaced commas.

A suggestion from a native Spanish speaker: get your reading practice from somewhere else.

After reading this chapter and the comments I think there is an English usage that is very similar and helps to explain it a little more clearly.  We have the structure "to have got(ten)...done."  (instead of I have done 3 things). Like in Spanish, it usually means that you've done several things toward your goal and you have gotten them out of the way.

e.g. 

I've painted three rooms.  He pintado tres habitaciones.

I've gotten three rooms painted, or I got three rooms painted.  Tengo pintadas tres habitaciones.

You can apply that formula to all the other examples.  Helped me to understand this much better.

Same thing with:

The book has (gotten) me interested.

El libro me tiene interesado. 

This page is missing an accent on the "vosotros" ending for -ir verbs:

How do we know if a noun is masculine or feminine in Spanish if it a new word to us?  Is there a clue I am missing or is it just a guess?
