Comparison con más/menos adjetivo u adverbio

Estoy referido al ejercicio: "El Real Madrid marcó menos goles (de/que) goles de Barça este año.

Más de/menos de, se usan en candidades, no? En el ejercicio anterior los goles se refierien a una cantidad, creo yo.

Gracias y le agradezco.

Suggestion to make the explanation clearer?

Perhaps it would be helpful with these various stem changing verb lessons to explain more clearly that the vowel changes only affect the vowels when they are in syllables that are stressed, rather than giving the impression that the nosotros/as and vosotras/os forms are just arbitrary exceptions. I think that grasping that makes it a lot easier to internalize the pattern than just trying to memorize exceptions without understanding why they work that way.

Ningun vs. Ninguno

Hola,

Thank you for this lesson. I understand that ningun is used before a noun:

"No tengo ningun dinero para ir de compras hoy.";

"Ningun estudiante hizo la tarea."

My confusion is when concerning when to use "ningun" vs "ninguno"?

Saludos

What is the difference between el 10 por ciento and un 10 por ciento? Are el and un used in different contexts? Thank you.

querer que +subjunctiveHow would you say "Do you want me to pick you up at five?"? (HINT: you=vosotros) the following is the answer but should it be recojáis¿Queréis que os recoja a las cinco?

Great way to avoid the imperfect subjunctive etc.

Great structure to know! Check your English translations, however, as they don't fit the correct grammar patterns:

1. If PRESENT, then FUTURE

2. If IMPERFECT, then CONDITIONAL

3. Your "If PLUPERFECT, then CONDITIONAL PERFECT" examples are correct.

Use of definite article

I know this keeps coming up, but in the examples we see: “las llaves de la casa”, and “la reserva de hotel”. Both these expressions follow the structure of NOUN + DE + NOUN. Why do we only use “la” for the first one?
