Why does one sentence use con terminación en., And the next sentence use  que acaban en for the same English construction? 

Are there lessons having to do with the pauses and intonation in Spanish speech? I guess I'm using English patterns to place commas and periods when transcribing spoken Spanish and am frequently wrong.

Can you use the preposition "con" after the article instead to denote posession? For example: 

-La mujer de allá es muy guapa. 

-¿Qué mujer?

-La con la blusa roja. 

Would that be correct? Thanks

It appears from your examples that “se” is optional, although I don’t see that explicitly stated.  For example, “ Ayer me depilé las piernas.” doesn't have “se” in it.

Que tiene que tener un DNI para poder votar?     

Hola. Creo que los ejemplos en esta lista son del pretérito y no del presente de subjuntivo. 

Gracias.

I encountered this in a video:

John es estudiante. Roger es UN estudiante también. 

Why does the article appear when también is added? Is this correct?  If so, what is the explanation?

(Google translate also adds the indefinite article when también is used.)

Hola,

To piggyback on David's question about the 'rich hot chocolate', I am also wondering about the 'small religious festival'. I can't remember the hint, but I'm pretty sure it confused me. Maybe, 'small was reinforcing festival'?? 

So I made a note that hot was reinforcing chocolate and was therefore placed after chocolate in the correction edit, but then when I tried to apply the same rule of small reinforcing festival, meaning it should been placed after festival, (which actually looked and sounded strange to me) it was actually placed before festival. 

I am confused!

What is the rule with a reinforcing adj? They are placed before the noun?     And is David correct that rich is reinforcing chocolate and not hot?

And reinforcing seems to even be a new descriptive word. I looked back at the lesson and saw highlight, emphasize, differentiate, distinction and extra nuance. What is 'to reinforce' equal to?

I'm not trying to be super picky. I'm just looking for rules to apply in my learning process.

Thanks!

‘We had to play football without kneepads’ - in English  we say shin pads (UK) or shin guards (US). Knee pads are what you use for skating. SpanishDict is telling me shin guards are ‘espinilleras’, but I have no knowledge about about which is correct/if one word may be used in a certain country and another elsewhere etc
