Formation of small numbers, and what the numbers actually are.

Hello all,

I’m very new to Spanish. 

Im looking for a lesson on general numbers, but can’t see one. There are some on big numbers, but nothing on numbers like 23, 59,73,98,123 etc. 

Can anyone please point me in the right direction ?

Gracias 

Me llamo Richard

Lesson and quiz differ

In the lesson it says convertirse en and hacerse can both be used to talk about a career change with the former indicating a more drastic change. However in the quiz both answers are listed (for a sentence about a career change) but only hacerse is marked as being correct.

Why not repeat the D.O. pronoun in this instance?

No ________ todo el tiempo a nuestro hijo; necesita espacio.

We can't be watching our son all the time; he needs some space.

(HINT: use modal verb "poder" and the verb "vigilar" for to watch)

podemos estar vigilando

podemos estar vigilandolo

Does the un/una variation apply everywhere

Hello, excellent lesson.  We know that "un/una" changes with gender.  Is this true of every number that ends with "un/una"?

Ex:

Vientiún estudiantes, veintiuna camas

Ciento un aguacates, ciento una botellas

Thanks.

I answered "tú está aburriendo", but the answer is "A ti, te está aburriendo"

Should I add "estar + gerund" to list of verbs that act like Gustar? 

I don't understand.

Absolutely disagree

Let's see if you folks can explain it in a fashion where it makes some degree of sense.  Because based on this, you are wrong.

Haber de + infinitive instead?

Hi there! One of the quizzes asks for the correct phrase in the following sentence:

Las aceitunas ________ en septiembre. (The olives must be harvested in September.)

Would it not be possible to use "han de recolectar" here instead of "deben ser recolectadas"?
