a as preposition and personal a

Maybe just worth pointing out that in the sentences with "a" the preposition is used in two different ways:

- as a "normal" preposition, for example, indicating motion: "El partido al que fui"

- as a "personal a", where there is a direct object (Los cantantes a los que los fans adulaban) but where "a" is needed because the object is personal.

I think that's so, isn't it?

Tu amiga es un poco _____ (insert correct form of picarón)

Hello Kwiziq team,

As always I love your content but had a query about this particular question...

I did get the correct answer to this question (picaróna); however i was wondering why it isn’t “una poca” instead of “un poco” when the friend you’re talking about is feminine (as it’s amiga not amigo).

Here’s the question:

Tu amiga es un poco ________. Your friend is a bit mischievous.HINT: "picarón" = masculine for mischievous
Thank you in advance! Fran

You could have lost your job with that rude attitude.

Why couldn't the answer be, "Pudieras haber perdido" since it was hypothetical and you didn't actually lose your job?
