Hi, if "tuyo" means "yours" by itself, why do you still need "el" in front of it in this sentence:

Mi coche corre tan rápidamente como el tuyo.

In English, "to hear" is a passive act to the person.  It happens to them, whether they wanted it to or not.   "To listen" is an active effort by the person. "If one listens well, he will hear it."  The Spanish dictionary says that "oir" is to hear.  However, "escuchar" can mean "to listen" or "to hear".  Is that correct?

"La escuché cantando" could mean "I listened to her singing" or "I heard her singing".  ??

Is that right?

Thanks

Hi,

Hope all are well and keeping well. 

I was wondering if you could help me to know how to determine when to write “qu” or “c”. 

Also, one of the hints included the word “spa” which had nothing to do with the text, and there wasn’t any mention of spa in that section (or anywhere else).  

Thank you for your attention.

Am I correct in understanding that with bueno/malo, putting it before the noun creates more emphasis?

Like " mi padre es un hombre bueno." -My father is a good man.

"Mi padre es un buen hombre." -My father is a [really] good man.

It appears to me that by deciding to use subjuctive in the second clause of the sentence, creates the doubt.  Therefore, however I set up the statement does not really matter.  Generally, I will have created doubt.  I am guess that generally the doubt it pushed onto the first clause, meaning:

Me alegro de que hayas viajado a diferentes países.

I am pleased that you have travelled to different countries.

Me alego  (I am pleased, as long as it was pleasing, but maybe it was not so pleasing for you afterall)... or is it that I am pleased, but you may not have really travelled the world.  Which is the sentiment?  Am I on the right track? I am guessing the first.  

What is the sentiment if I were to say "Estoy feliz que hayas viajado a diferentes países".

From the above lesson it is not fully clear when one would use "no solo...sino" and when one would use "no solo...sino que". Is the rule similar to the one mentioned in this lesson: Difference between pero, sino and sino que in Spanish (but) whereby "If we need a different conjugated verb in the second clause after sino, then we need to add "que" after sino."?

Why is it “trabajo como” I work as 

and “trabaja de” I work as

What’s the difference? Thanks!
