Preposition + infinitiveI know this lesson is about the use of the gerundio but is it also correct to use (perhaps not in all cases) a preposition + infinitive? For example: Puedes adelgazar bebiendo / por beber dos litros de agua al día.

"-a" endings in Spanish nouns

What is the origin of the curious fact that certain Spanish words that end in "-a" and can refer to both male and female persons, never developed an "-o" ending to denote a male individual specifically? For example:

electricista, dentista, recepcionista.

Condicional o imperfecto de subjuntivo?

Estoy seguro de que cuando abriste esta tienda, no pensaste que llegaría el día en el que un cliente te daría un billete de mil dólares.

Despues de "no pensaba que" o "no pense que". Condicional o imperfecto de subjuntivo?

Imperativo de nosotros con pronombre directo

¿Cómo se escribe un mandato affirmativo en forma de nosotros con un pronombre directo? ¿Incluye "s" o no? ¿Sacamos el ¨s¨ el mismo que se hace con el pronombre reflexivo ¨nos?¨

Por ejemplo: lograr y lo (En inglés, "Let's achieve it!")

Logrémoslo? Logrémolo?
