Still confusedThis still makes no sense. Quoting from the lesson:
However, if the verb used is transitive, we usually use a direct object pronouns: me, te, lo, la, nos, os, los, las.
Les ha hecho pedir perdón al profesor.He made them apologise to the teacher.You say that pedir here is a transitive verb (perdón being the direct object), but then you go ahead and use an indirect object pronoun (les), exactly the opposite of what you said in the lesson.
Again quoting from the lesson:
There is a tendency to use an indirect pronouns me, te, le, nos, os, les when the verb is intransitive.
Then you give an example using an intransitive verb (arrodillarse) but you use a direct object pronoun (lo) in the example.
Lo hizo arrodillarse para declarar su amor.She made (forced) him get on his knees to declare his love.
This too is the opposite of what the lesson says.
Please explain.
I am confused because we are practicing the present tense of the verb but why are the examples in the present continuous?

In a test, I got the question "Yo _____ mis manos en el agua". The verb was sumergir. Is it more correct to say "mis manos" here than "las manos" and if so, why? Are there certain verbs you are more likely to or would always use the possessive rather than definite?
This was a really fun exercise for me...
My daughter and I spent last Christmas in Burgos, where all my father's family and ancestors are from. Whilst there we visited the beautiful cathedral and we saw Papamoscas! He certainly is a funny little man :) You do need either good eyesight or binoculars to see him as he is really high up!
Doesn’t con nosotros refer to ourselves? In the table it says yourselves.
Thanks,

please could you tell me the trigger for using subjunctive here.Será mejor que aparques lejos del centro.It'd be better if you park far from the town centre. [you=tú]
is the above translation correct?
Será - it will beor Sería - it would be

Clearly spoken and a nice addition to vocabulary but what is the significance of the two girls from Guadalupe? Is Guadalupe Victoria DUR the home town of Daniela?
such a clear, beautiful soprano voice and a beautiful, blending chorus of young angels . . .
una voz de soprano tan clara y hermosa y un coro de ángeles jóvenes tan hermoso... .
I cannot find a word to add "blending" into the Spanish.
