I notice from the examples that hacerse seems to be used (with few exceptions) when the change is under your control or voluntary. This is logical because you are "making yourself" change.

And quedarse means "keep", suggesting that you're stuck with the change permanently!

This seems to help me. I hope it helps other students.

His family's situation saddens them. : ___ la situación de su familia.

How to say "something bores/annoys/saddens you"

La respuesta para esto es "les entristece" pero pensé que familia es singular?  Porque no es " le entristece"?

Gracias.

¿Enserio güey? Qué tal? Formal?

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".

Is it because despierta is being used as an adjective here? Thank you

Just a comment.  I think this subject is difficult without making the English incorrect.  It becomes much more understandable when the translation is made using correct English.  Some examples:

¿A quién le enviaste la carta?
Who did you send the letter to?
The English should be:   To whom did you send the letter?

¿Para quién has comprado esas flores tan bonitas?
Who have you bought such pretty flowers for?
The English should be:   For whom have you bought such pretty flowers?

¿Con quiénes vais de vacaciones?
Who are you going on holiday with?
The English should be:   With whom are you going on holiday?

¿Por quién harías una locura?
Who would you do something crazy for?
The English should be:   For whom would you do something crazy?

This does not include all the examples, but it is enough to see the problem.

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.

Why do you say "votar por" and not "para", since the person you vote for benefits?
