When we write objects after the verb, do we always write them in the order Direct Object followed by Indirect Object, like this?
(Les) cantaron una canción a Pedro y Pablo por su despedida.
Or can we change the order like this:
(Les) cantaron a Pedro y Pablo una canción por su despedida.
Thanks.
PS How can I find my answered questions? I don't seem to be getting notifications.

Is usamos wrong here instead of llevamos?
Two identical lessons: One headed tan.... como in the index and the other headed tanto .....como. but same "tanto.... cpomo..." lesson in both.
Hola todos
So I can have a better understanding of this subtle distinction between these 3 conjunctions (pero/sino/sino que), can you please confirm if I'm correct in these following 3 examples which all share the same 1st clause:
SINO >>> El médico no me recetó un jarabe __sino__ unas pastillas. (Because simple SUBSTITUTION )
PERO >>> El médico no me recetó un jarabe __pero__ con la condición que lo vea la próxima semana para una revisión. (Because MAKING A LIMITATION to the 1st clause)
SINO QUE >>> El médico no me recetó un jarabe __sino que __ me dijo que necesité una operación . (Because DIFFERENT CONJUGATED VERB IN 2ND CLAUSE)
Hopefully this can clarify these nuances in my head once and for all!
Saldudos y gracias, ~Oscar :)
Regarding the hints in the tests. Sometimes the hint says to conjugate in "El pretérito Perfecto Compuesto" and other times just "El pretérito Perfecto". If I enter El pretérito Perfecto simple it's incorrect. The study buttons take you to the same lesson, and seem to be asking for the same answer, am I missing something?
hay un fantasma de una mujer que no deja de quejarse de sus desgracias
Hi,
I have just completed a test which included the above.
I answered: Oyes tu (sorry, can't get accents to work), which was marked wrong.
Another question was: ¿..................... la chimenea? Two answers were given: Enciendes and Enciendes tu. This was marked nearly right.
Are the answers with 'tu' (or any other personal pronoun) not acceptable in Spanish? Is the only way to ask a question in Spanish to raise the tone at the end?
Look forward to your reply.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Colin
I am at 100% on A0 and at 13% on A1. My entire study plan is full of A0 lessons that are already at 100%. Has anyone else had this happen?
