Anyone know what "la patacoja" is, I can't find it in any dictionaries.
Why is the answer yo encuentro wrong and the correct answer is encuentro without the yo?

Doesn’t “le” mean “to/for” him?

it seems to be a typo in the above exercise. It says "damos" instead of "vamos"
Hola, mi amiga dijo "este domingo no pudo ser más lindo". ¿Tiene el mismo significado que este domingo no podría haber sido? Me pareció rara la frase. Parece que a ella no le gustó este domingo, pero la verdad que sí. Es de Argentina, así que quizás sea cuestión de dialecto no sé.

I found this a lot to digest, so re-wrote the lesson to try to understand it better.
Would you be able to do me a big favour and check to see if I’ve understood it correctly?

Another way of expressing a cause is with de tan, etcThe clause (de tan, etc) can be placed at the beginning of the sentence or at the end in certain circumstances.
The sub-clause ('de tan' bit) expresses the reason the main clause happens
Because he dances so well, he is going to be given a prize
Or
He is going to be given a prize because he dances so well
De tan is used with an adjective or adverb
Can be used sub clause first or second...
Because he dances so well, he is going to be given a prize
OrHe is going to be given a prize because he dances so well.
Sub clause first way...
Because he dances so well, he is going to be given a prize
De tan+ adjective/adverb + que/como + indicative (then the main clause)
De tan bien que baila le van a dar un premio
Or De tan bien como baila le van a dar un premio
Main clause first way...
He is going to be given a prize because he dances so well.
(Main clause...) + de tan + adjective/ adverb + que/como + indicative
Le van a dar un premio de tan bien que bailaOrLe van a dar un premio de tan bien como baila
De tanto/a/os/as is used with a noun/s
He got a stomach ache because of all those chocolates he ate.
(Main clause...) + De tanto/a/os/as + noun + que/como + indicative
Le dio un dolor de barriga de tantos chocolates como comió.OrLe dio un dolor de barriga de tantos chocolates que comió.
With this de tanto, noun construction, the sub clause is always second
The third way de tanto/ tan poco with verbs
He is going to get really fat because he eats so much.
The sub clause can begin or end the sentence
De tanto/tan poco que/como + indicative...
De tanto que come se va a poner gordísimo.
Or
Se va a poner gordísimo de tanto que come
It can be written again either 'de tanto que' or 'de tanto como'
Tan poco...
You will become a loner because you hardly go out.
Te vas a convertir en un solitario de tan poco que sales.
Or De tan poco que sales te vas a convertir en un solitario
Again, we can say 'tan poco que' or 'tan poco como'
From the lesson:
>There is no gender or number agreement for the adjective or the article, we always use the singular masculine form and the neutral article "lo".
But there's a quiz question for this lesson with the correct answer "de lo más atractiva". Which is correct?
