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!

I don't want to quibble about details with native teachers but I was puzzled by the tip box at the bottom of this lesson saying "Remember that after poder(conjugated in any tense) you will always find an infinitive. "

I'm unsure what to make of this given that I have not always found an infinitive after poder. The example that immediately came to mind was "No puedo más." Which I stuck out in my mind precisely because  I found it odd that "puedo" was NOT followed by another verb.

We want exercises with answers would be very useful 

Not really a question but this lesson could be better if in included the three rules for plural

1# ends in vowel add s

2# ends in consonant add es

3# ends in z change to c and add es.

as far as I know this is correct

Why is it “los más ricos” and “los más listos”?

If the assumption is that we are referring to people, (la gente or las personas), should they not take the feminine form?

Thanks!

The translation for this is All mayors deserve respect. As it is all mayors why isn't the spanish 'Todos Alcaldes' ? I would have thought todo alcalde was each mayor ?

When do you and when you don't use el/la/los/las?

I'm totally confused by this and always end up making the wrong choice.
