"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?

Hola

Is the "que" that precedes "han tenido" interchangeable  with quienes or los cuales here ?

Saludos

i am having a hard time knowing which preposition to use ("of the", "by the", "from the", "to the", et al) 

Not to mention which indirect object pronoun goes before the other (She gives it to him in the morning "Ella se lo da por la mañana")?

"Sería tan romántico que mas las diera" is a B2 construction.

Hello,

I was confused as to why it's (y voy a salir de casa temprano) and not (y voy a salir la casa temprano)

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

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?

I know a lot of people have brought up the fact that seguir + present participle and continuar  + present participle have the same meaning, so they selected one answer which was marked as incorrect. I realize that the question specified that multiple answers could be correct but the fact that so many people were confused by this makes me think it wasn’t very clear. Maybe you should instead say “Select all of the correct answers” instead. Anyway, I do have an actual question - is there any subtle difference between the two, or any situations in which you would use one over the other? Does it vary by country or region? Just curious. Muchísimas gracias, y que tenga un buen fin de semana!

I've used "le" for men AND women (e.g. "Un gusto conocerle!", "Pásenle" etc.), but the article says it's only for men. This is Spanish spoken in a Mexican-American household, so I don't know how that affects things-- could be improper Spanish, but I thought I'd check because I hear it often.
