These answer options all have a capital "J" for the month "Julio". Debo coger vacaciones en Julio. Queréis coger vacaciones en Julio. Debéis coger vacaciones en Julio. Podéis coger vacaciones en Julio. Months in spanish are usually not capitalised unless at the beginning of a sentence or have I missed something?

Forming the singular masculine and feminine of regular adjectives

Question in A1 Focus Test

Mi vecina Patricia es ______.

Hola,

I put "maleduca" because it's a woman, it's singular and when "maleducar" is conjugated in El Presente, it comes up as "maleduca." Why is it marked wrong? Why is "maleducada" the correct answer?

In relation to that, I don't feel the question has been covered well because we have not encountered that word previously and I cannot find it in any lessons on the Lawless website.

Gracias por la respuesta!

Does “pedir algo a” = “to ask for something from”?

In this example above, a = from:

Tú pides demasiado a la vida.

You ask too much from life.

Is this always the case? For example, could we say:

Él pide 100000 pesos al banco.

He is asking for 100000 pesos from the bank.

I would expect that we would use “del”, so is “al” correct?

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

Usted used between girlfriend and boyfriend?

On another course, an example conversation between novio and novia goes: “usted sabe que lo amo. Vayamos al cine, hay una película nueva que quiero que veamos. Me muero por que usted la vea”. It was partly my frustration that there was no explanation of the use of usted here that led me to look for another course. Can anyone here explain this to me? Is this a regional peculiarity? Maybe Colombia? Thanks.

Translation to English

vado una sorpresa negativa al tener un niño en vez de una niña, porque no te lo esperabas ¿no?"

(I imagine you may have got a negative surprise

Native English speakers would say “an unwelcome surprise”, “a negative surprise” sounds very odd
