I'm confused by the title of this article: "personal "a" verbs". Isn't the issue whether the direct object is a person or not, rather than the verb used? In addition to the verbs mentioned, isn't the same true of all the verbs on https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/learn/theme/830919 as well as necesitar, golpear, ... indeed any transitive verb? 

Hi!! I would like to ask a question. So I'm doing a presentation in Spanish and i want to use the present perfect subjunctive in the last sentence. I want to say "I hope you enjoyed my presentation". The dictionary says that it's "espero que les haya gustado mi precentación", but isn't "haya" the verb form for "usted" and not "ustedes"? Several people are going to listen to me, so I want to address them all. What do I say? Is it "espero que les hayán gustado mi precentación" or "espero que les hayáis gustado mi precentación", or is it the sentence I wrote earlier?

Thank you in advance!!

Antonio y jade   Altos what verb is before alto?

"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.

Hi,

My focus area is Latin America. I do see that this lesson is for peninsular Spanish, but I can't seem to find the appropriate equivalent lesson for L.A. Could you direct me to the correct page for Antes de que/Despues de que for L.A. students?

Thanks,

Is it common to use hacer as "gave" in this question?  Why not use diste (dar)? 

I'm having trouble consistently distinguishing between using 'a' or 'en' when talking about being somewhere.

For instance, in the dialog, "... Alberto estará  en la reunión...", 

Would we say "estará en la reunión" to mean someone will be 'in' the meeting, while "estará a la reunión" has a connotation indicating a location 'at' the meeting?

Or is it always customary to use 'en' in cases like this?

NOT OK Por favor Marta, les trae unas copas de vino.

but it is wrong. Why this below is correct answer? I though the "les" can be put in front of verb and behind.

 OK Por favor Marta, tráeles unas copas de vino.
