Can you explain the function of “lo” in Ella lo huele todo? Is it because oler needs an object?

"Fue un dia muy lindo" is describing the day and the weather. Why wouldn't it be "Era un dia my lindo"?

Hello

I am using US International keyboard. I keep typing "está"  but some how your programing is registering it as "es" and therefore marking my answers as incorrect. Qué pasa?

Why is 'buena' used to describe the coffee as good? 'El café' is masculine so I don't understand why it wouldn't be 'El café colombiano...es muy bueno.'

Thanks in advance!

Hi, can we use antes and despues for dates? For example "before Friday" or "after Monday".

The third sentence is not a complete sentence as it lacks a verb. For that reason, I attached it to the second sentence with a coma. To me, that didn't sound right either. Often, I don't grade myself on punctuation because I find that phrases that can stand alone as complete thoughts end with a coma in these exercises, and those that should continue after a coma don't. Because we are transcribing without the opportunity to go back or listen ahead, it is sometimes difficult to know which to use. I usually don't bother correcting punctuation and just correct my Spanish. This paragraph was particularly bothersome. Yes, I do listen to the whole piece beforehand and even take quick notes, but this taxes my short-term memory, especially with the longer readings and higher levels. Professional transcribers constantly pause and backtrack so as not to make mistakes.
