Es un poco raro, que los moros no son mencionado??

"ordered"...not order

Hi everyone!

I am a new member of the community and would like to know what to use the forums for? What are the guidelines, who are the mods etc? Thanks!

For "I will get my nails shaped" we were told to "use the construction for 'to have something done'" - so [following your guidelines for sentences of that type] I put: "me daré forma a las uñas", but this was incorrect. However, "*le* daré forma a las uñas" was among the options allowed?

From what I understand, statements of emotion almost always trigger the subjunctive. Are there exceptions for past events with cuando? "I was happy that he came" gives imperfect subjunctive whereas "I was happy when he came" gives preterite.

If this is a rule, is it more general than cuando?

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

or

he visto el pelicula de Pedro?

Thanks in advance

The sound stops halfway through this example:

Yo voy al gimnasio, no porque me gusta, sino porque debo perder peso.I go to the gym, not because I like it, but because I must lose weight.
