Flexibility when there are multiple objets

Hello,

I'm interested in the flexibility when there are multiple objets. The first example on the page is: A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella le diste mucho.

Would

A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella mucho.

also be correct?

And what about:

A mí me diste muy poco dinero pero a ella diste mucho.

?
thanks!

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?

I I don’t see any difference between when to use había and when to use hubo. Does it ever matter which one to use?

Test Question - Till

“Usted tendría que devolver los

artículos en la caja. (You would have

to return the articles at the till.)

HINT: Conjugate "tener que"' in El

Condicional Simple.

“No entiendo “the till.” In the US would be the cashier, I think. In Latin America, perhaps “el cajero.” “The till” has various contations in the US and some border on the negative. From Miriam-Webster:

till

noun (1)

\ ˈtil \

Definition of till (Entry 4 of 5)

1a: a money drawer in a store or bankalso : CASH REGISTERb: a box, drawer, or tray in a receptacle (such as a cabinet or chest) used especially for valuables2a: the money contained in a tillb: a supply of especially ready money

very cunning word play . . .

It took me three times reading this before I got the real drift of the story. Very funny LOL. Necesitamos más colas sutiles como esta para que la cuenta no menee al perro.

que / la quien

Hi there,

For the question "Prefiero ir con Susana, ________ es más simpática" I answered "la quien". Your guide says that this is interchangeable (if more formal) than "que", but my answer was marked incorrect. Please can you explain?

Thanks

YOU like Marabella

The question was to say "You like Marbella". How could the correct answer be "Me gusta Marbella." Your answer is incorrect.
