i read that ir + gerund can be translated as to get to do something.

I do not understand why would getting on to do something be related to the concept of doing something bit by bit, gradually?

Would getting on to do something more like getting ready to do something using estar para, estar por?

Hello,

In this quiz question, it looks like both the second and third options will be correct.  Is this the case?  Thanks.

"Aparecerás en el perfil de la búsqueda..."   "... tu disponibilidad y el país preferido..."  I included "la" with búsqueda and "el" with país, but are not used here.  I never really know when and when not  to use them.  Is there a lesson somewhere on the website about when to use the articles?  I forgot to add at the beginning when we are translating "As an au pair", the correct way is to say "Como au pair..." and again, I wrote "Como un au pair..."  This is another example of me being confused as to when and how to use the articles.

Isn´t "haber" an irregular verb for the tú imperative since it is "he" rather than "ha"?

¿Qué tal:

secretaria sacerdote

carpintero contador

ama de casa

Good lesson.  I like this concept of partitives.

Can we use "uno de" in place of "alguno de" to mean "one of"?  Or is "alguno" only used in this context in Spanish?

Also, is there a list of partitives that use "de", such as "cada uno de" or "pocos de"?

Thanks!

In a quiz question (20% is a small number),       why is the answer el "20 %" not accepted? The lesson seems to suggest that either that or El '20 por ciento" should be ok. Thanks.

I see that “el” and “la” are based off masculine or feminine. How do I know if a general noun (e.g. car) is masculine or feminine tense?

Parecen que ser y estar aqui estan de intercambio.
