This is one of the questions that I think is poorly expressed in this lesson, and again is contrary to what your own "quick lesson" presents. My answer of "una poca simpatía" was marked incorrect, yet it is the more commonly used version, again according to your own "quick lesson." I do not see the point of frustrating students with information that they are unlikely to hear.
Hello,
When is a noun regular and when is it irregular?
Nouns that end with an -o or -a are regular and everything else is irregular?
Hi,
What is the gender rule for adjectives when describing two nouns of different gender? See sample phrase:
' con inversores y empresas muy poderosas...'
Does the adjective match the gender (and number) of the last noun?
Is there a stronger emphasis when using para nada/en absoluto? Thank you

1. Ese dibujo parece bueno. Enséñamelo, por favor.
2. Ese dibujo parece bueno. Me lo enseñas, por favor.
What is the difference between these two options? Why is the second one incorrect? To me they both sound acceptable. Thanks
My grammar book (by Butt and Benjamin) says that the verb 'aconsejar' is in a transitional state, such that it is sometimes seen followed by an infinitive rather than by a subjunctive (despite the change of subject - like 'persuadir' and several other verbs)... Perhaps the 'Academia' in Madrid needs to make a ruling on this matter?
In answering this question, I used "excepto por". The lesson doesn't cover this option, but I have seen it in written Spanish.
Except for the white one, all the t-shirts are cool.
Hola Inma,
Regarding the sentence "¿A quién no le gustaría quedarse en un lugar así? With the meaning "who would not like to stay in a place like this" I expected that the subjunctive may be needed, though exactly how this would work with the conditional is beyond me. Perhaps the inference is that absolutely nobody would refuse to stay there but I am speculating. Can you help?
Saludos
John
