Confusion of final "hint"

For the final section (i.e., "to enjoy the evening") the hint was "disfrutar (de)". I do not understand the significance of "de" as a hint for that segment of the sentence. Why was "(de)" part of the hint? I was completely thrown off by that "hint".

Indefinite article

Why would you say soy un cantautor? I thought you were not supposed to use an indefinite article when saying what occupation you have?

Use of singular vs plural in SpanishI was taught, rightly or wrongly, that use of plurals in English in this type of sentence is typically translated as a singular in Spanish. Please provide feedback on this.

Pretérito Indefinido or Pretérito Perfecto

Hola Inma,

Having read your reply to David I'm still a bit lost. Many of the phrases were translated in the past tense for example "We lit the fireplace" and "we sat in front of it" etc but all took the pretérito perfecto because they occurred today "Hoy". However, "We loved seeing how the firewood was consumed" was the only phrase given in the pretérito indefinido and expanded in the imperfecto.

There must be something about the phrase that calls for this construction. Can you give me a pointer?

Saludos. John

referring to common or proper nouns

I read from the other answers that common names such as Juan and proper nouns such as movie are unable to use direct object pronouns.

Example - lo he visto pelicula is wrong but he visto pelicula is correct?
Example - lo he visto a Juan is wrong but he visto a Juan or lo he visto is correct?

how about el pelicula de Pedro lo he visto

he visto el pelicula de Pedro?

Thanks in advance
