Explanation is ConfusingThis Preferir conjugation exercise says: "Notice how for all three groups, the first vowel -e- in the stem becomes -ie- except for the nosotros and vosotros forms."

Don't you mean the SECOND vowel changes to IE?

Use of "su"

Hi!

RE: her stamina and her joy.

Kwizbot su vigor y su alegría.
You su vigor y alegría

Would it be correct to not have the “su” repeated as I wrote? What lesson would that be?

Thank you. Nicole

Use of the personal "a"

The construction "... te permitirá conocer personas" reminded me that the personal "a" is inserted only if the object of the verb is a known human being - specifically identified .. Thank you !

[I am sure this is mentioned somewhere in one of your lessons, is it?]

Que vs cual

I was lead to believe that Que is used with Estar and Cual with Ser.

Sentence in quiz

This is not about one of the examples here, but a question in the quiz:

"Me encanta la cocina francesa, ya sea lo salado o lo dulce."

I would have expected "la salada o la dulce" because I thought it would refer back to la cocina. Why is this change in gender?

Futher definite article lessons

Hi Inma, this is one of the most difficult things for me to grasp, especially in the body of a sentence, please could you put this near the top of your list for new lessons?

JohnB2Kwiziq Q&A regular contributorIncluding the definite article

Hola,

Is there a lesson which develops this theme, and discusses when the definite article is used with the noun in the body of a sentence - and if there are times when this is not the case?

Thanks. John"

Why is it pronounced 'H'?Trabajo como: When I read thro the lesson on the alphabet 'b' was sounded 'beh'. Now, the 'b' in the 1st word is replaced by what sounds like the english 'v'. Could you please direct me to where I can check these sounds with corresponding letters?

I would also like to know what the upside down question mark at the beginning of a sentence means, and even exclamation marks. As you may have correctly guessed, I'm a total newbie. Thanks
