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!

"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.

It's not quite true that English has only two demonstratives - there's an older word still in common use at least in the North of England, usefully equivalent to 'aquel':

It's in wider use in the phrase 'wild blue yonder'

Since The main differences between ser and estar include that ser is used for permanent qualities, like your name, your place of origin, and your physical appearance, while estar is used to talk about temporary situations, such as how you’re feeling right now or your location.

So why is SER used in this sentence:  Tú eras muy bueno.  - the person that you are talking to is not always good so it is not a permant state.

Ditto in the following sentence.  You are not always rich so why use SER in the following:  Vosotros erais ricos.

We want exercises with answers would be very useful 

…but I’ve just realised why I get confused about when to use the subjunctive after ‘no sé que…’ (‘I don’t know that…’) or ‘no sé qué…’ (‘I don’t know which/what…’), now I realise that I should use the subjunctive in the first case and not in the second. Thank you!
