The note above says "we use the definite article with the thing/s that one likes, unless we're talking about a place or a person". But one of the examples is "Les gusta la chica alta" - isn't "the tall girl" a person? Or do you just mean a person's name?
Hi, I’m an environmental consultant. Am I a consultura ambiental or a consultura medioambiental please?
Also, i know I should say soy consultura, so assume I should still say soy consultura ambiental not soy una consultura ambiental, as the ambiental part is still describing my professsion and not a quality adjective?
Thank you.
How could we get to know that this exact word is a stem changing verb? Isn’t there any recognition for them?
I was directed to this (very useful !) lesson - i.e., Using tener + past participle to express the completion of an action (perífrasis verbal) - from a C1 writing exercise ["Charity Kings' Parade] - to explain the structure of this sentence: "Tengo pensado llevar un paraguas". < This is actually a bit different from the examples given in the lesson, because it is not a noun which we "tenemos pensado"; instead it is the verb "llevar" … [so no noun-agreement is required? - i.e. would we still keep the participle "pensado" unchanged if we said "Tengo pensado llevar mis botas de goma"?] … Thus, it might be useful to add, to the lesson, an example along these lines, i.e., where "Tengo pensado" is followed immediately by a verb.
Is it too simplistic to say that:
Sentir is followed by a Noun or que, and
Sentirse is followed by an Adjective/Adverb or como.
Now that I write it out, perhaps it's not easier to remember.

Hola,
I was marked correct for putting "una marca español" when in fact it is an exception to the rule for adjectives ending in "L" per the lesson, and should be española.
Is it in fact optional?
Saludos. John
Hola,
Would just like to say thanks for adding these preposition lessons recently (de been really helpful as well).
Hoping that definite article use is also on your upcoming list! (I find that the deployment of them isn't directly explained anywhere on Kwiqiz, and I really trust your teaching)
Gracias,
Does this construction always require indicative or can it also be used with subjunctive?
In the lesson, these sentences do not make sense to me in English:
Ofrecerían más descuentos cuando pasara la temporada de invierno.They might offer more discounts when the winter season was over.Pararíamos para descansar cuando llegáramos a Toledo.We might stop for a rest when we arrived in Toledo.Why are pasara and llegáramos translated in English as the past tense when they refer to future events that haven't happened yet? It sounds more natural to me to say "when the winter season IS over" and "when we ARRIVE in Toledo."
What is the word "estate"? Is it supposed to be "estarte"?
