No ha conseguido quitarla a la misión

Los soldados salen detrás de él corriendo, pero no consiguen ver nada a causa de la oscuridad y la lluvia 

No consigo olvidar nuestra conversación 

i found these sentences when reading a book. this is my first time seeing how conseguir is used with another verb infinitive. may i ask for a explanation? is this usage where conseguir + infinitive carries the meaning of manage to do something (verb) similar to poder + infinitive?

Can you explain to me when to use hace, when to use hay?

Thank u so much

I wrote, La pantilla hizo huelga, but it was marked wrong, and the correct answer was El personal hizo huelga. Isn't la pantilla the same as el personal? 

¡Gracias!

When do we not use the articles like "en casa" instead of "en la casa"?

To me it seems like such a long process for gustar to become "natural".

I literally have to parse every gustar sentence so that the pronoun tells me who is being liked, the verb then tells who is being liked (not who is doing the liking!):

Can this not also mean buy it for yourself in a formal you?  Don’t worry I have just worked it out. My error.

Does querer que trigger the subjunctive if it's something you're wishing for yourself? 

Why is it “los más ricos” and “los más listos”?

If the assumption is that we are referring to people, (la gente or las personas), should they not take the feminine form?
