When the noun ends in a consonant or the vowel -e  we tend to keep the whole word and add -cillo, -cilla, -cillos, -cillas. Hola, the lesson on the suffix cito etc says it applies to words ending in e. So which would be the correct suffix to add to Quijote? cito or cillo? Muchas gracias, Shirley. 

Does “pienso que no” = “no pienso” = “no lo pienso”?  Thanks.

internacional y internacionalmente - surely "mente" needs to suffixed to internacional también, no?

Me gusta este trabajo - definitely says "Me gusta A este trabajo"

"El anuncio decía que" shouldn't we use "Indefinido" here, as the action we're talking about was done yesterday. We are not describing here?

Hi,

The link to the above takes you to a page with the sub-heading 'Spanish Present Perfect'.

I thought 'preterite' was always related to the past as it says in the text on that page. So, why is it present perfect in Spanish?

Thanks.

Colin

Mi respuesta "Vistas impresionantes a la playa" también es correcta, ¿no?

Hola. Please help me this, im confused

Te dejé tus llaves. I know it means " I left your keys ", but what's te doing in this sentence? 

Does it change the meaning or grammatically wrong if I don't have "te" in this sentence.

Sincerely thank you

Where are the notes on using "Una/Unas" before a noun? I was under the impression that spanish didn't like using articles as much as english.

"dentro del seno de una familia catolica, (etc)" = within the bosom of a catholic family. Why pare down the literary parts to just the basic meaning of "to a catholic family (etc)"? The "dentro del seno" seems to indicate that he was born into a loving, caring family (O.K. plus wealthy and traditional!). But when we read Cervantes and Shakespeare aren't those literary embellishments what made them classics?
