Buenas tardes Shui e Inma ...
It might be worth considering ... >> ?
1. > "As many Irish people emigrated to the United States..." [because that corresponds better with the 'emigraron' in your Spanish translation].
2. [Debatable !] > I first wondered whether "Halloween is really an ancient Irish holiday" might have been more helpful to us, rather than saying "... ancestral..."]... In Castillian, 'ancestral' is indeed sometimes used as a synonym for 'antiguo' - but perhaps there is a very slight difference in Englsh? Eventually, however, I could see that the use of the word 'ancestral' in that context was at least pointing us in the right direction.
Doesn’t con nosotros refer to ourselves? In the table it says yourselves.
Thanks,

Hello,
In this workout there is a sentence - 'I have a new couch' the spanish translation in the answer and the complete text at the end it 'tengo sofá nuevo', should it be 'tengo un sofá nuevo'? I did notice that the lessons recommended for this section did include the lesson for indefinite articles.
Thanks, but now my wife wants a new sofa :-(
Does this construction happen other places. If idiom maybe should be taught like that.
Acá se puede usar «del que» o «del cual» también?
?El porque' y el motivo son iguales?
Why is this wrong: Mi abuela le entretiene mucho hacer punto?
Hi, I used the word "trancón" for traffic jam, but it was not recognized as a correct alternative. How come?
Oops. The webpage cut out part of my response. Right after I wrote
Hacer + Infinitive, the second paragraph contains;
and here I quoted from the lesson:
.."There is a tendency to use indirect pronouns me,te,le,nos,os,les when the verb in intransitive. However, if the verb is transitive, we usually use direct object pronouns me,te,lo,la,nos,os,los,las.
That's where I asked if this is misprint, or is referring to common mistakes that we make?
The remainder of my comment got posted correctly. Hope that my points are more clear now.
