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

Apropos of ' "Lo que" vs "la cosa que" ', I sometimes see "cosa que" used to mean "which", as in

Is this usage correct? If so, is there a lesson that discusses it?
More examples here:

de tantas horas que estuviera trabajandoFor the question:
¡________ me has traído! ¡Qué lugar más espectacular!
The English translation that is given is:
Where have you brought me! What an amazing place!
It seems that the English is a bit ambiguous because it is phrased as a question but there is an exclamation mark rather than a questions so I don't know whether the original question in Spanish is intended to be a statement or a question.
I wrote "y que este año sea" instead of "y que sea un año". I asked a native speaker who said my answer was fine and that "this place just wants you to speak a certain way, you can't trust it."
A good, easy read, very well-narrated
