Hello, please would you explain why the verb SER is used in the sentence "la comida del restaurante era mala". I'm confused which rule is used to trigger SER rather than ESTAR,

Thanks

uso de - en que- y - en el que-

Pregunta sobre el texo... 'En el canal en el que trabajo'...

¿significa lo mismo si decimos..

1) En el canal en que trabajo..?

o 2) En el canal que trabajo... ?

En otras palabras, ¿Las opciones 1) y 2) son errores gramaticales?

Gracias de antemano 8-)

¿________ estás viendo en la tele?

I used "Cuál" thinking that what's on television is a limited, although large, selection. Like the example: "Cuál es tu flor favorita".

Why is "Qué" used here?

Questions on memory

Are these two statements correct?

With "something is brought to mind" you have to omit the "a".

With "something reminds me that ..." you swap the "a" with "que".

Also, I didn't understand this part "something reminds me of what...", using "lo que" for "what"

What you mean with this?

Despues/antes + gerund in y de

I am confused- the present participle in English is used in both the despues de + infinitive and the gerundio. It’s hard to differentiate between the two in English so it’s guesswork in Spanish…

Possible to add the imperative tú form to this verb list?

Since this is a vocabulary listing of "Irregular verbs with a short imperative tú form" could the imperative form be added in brackets, since one can't tell the shortened versions from the verbs themselves. Just a thought. :)

lo vs el in the last section

In the last section of the translation, "between the practical, incredulity and mysticism" is translated as "entre lo práctico, la incredulidad y el misticismo." I don't understand why the práctico gets lo as it's article (other than because the hint said so). Can you explain, please. Thanks
