Salvador Dalí

Hola Inma,

I' m a bit confused with the articles. Why not el Salvador Dalí era un pintor? In a lesson of yours I read:

El Quijote fue escrito por Miguel de Cervantes.

El señor López era muy valorado por todos los vecinos.

Te agradezco mucho tus respuestas muy útiles!

‘Uno debe...’ in B2 dictation re.Friends

Hola a todos,

I think I’m right in saying that, “Uno debe cuidar bien a sus amigos...” means “One/you must/look after/care for your friends...”. Is ‘uno debe’ just an alternative to ‘se debe’?

I also wanted to ask about the use of ‘lo suyo’ in this passage. In the context here does it mean ‘it’s their thing/it’s up to them/ it’s their job to make me laugh...’?

I enjoyed this exercise, gracias! :)

Using double pronouns with El Imperativo

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

In the grammar topic, "Repetition of indirect object pronouns with verbs (general)"

¿________ miraron los bolsos al entrar en el concierto? (Did they check their bags when entering the concert?
The 2 correct answers were, "A ellas les" and "Les"
==========================================
Why is ellas used with the masculine object, los bolsos?

Thank you, James

A polite request...

Hola a todos,

A huge thank you to Inma and all the other super teachers we have at our beck and call here in Kwiziq land. Inma et.al, you have the patience of saints!

My request: I have mentioned this before but feel that I need to bring it up again...

Please, when we are asking for assistance from the teachers can we all be mindful of 'manners'. A simple 'Hi', a 'please could you help me with...' and then just a simple 'thank you' in advance or when help has been given.

Gracias y saludos :)
