Sometimes with monosyllabic words we make this suffix even longer: -ececillo, -ececilla, -ececillos, -ececillas:

I'm breathless from just listening to the vocal race to the end. I'll bet there was some turrón waiting  . . .

In a quiz question (20% is a small number),       why is the answer el "20 %" not accepted? The lesson seems to suggest that either that or El '20 por ciento" should be ok. Thanks.

Hola Inma

In this test question: 

"Aquella chica del colegio, ________ todos se reían, estaba siempre triste"

I managed to get all these correct: de la que, de quien, de la cual. But my answer de que was incorrect.

OK, I admit that I did follow a pattern here and guess that this question required 'de' in front of the pronoun, so I actually have two questions about this:

1) why is 'de' required in this particular structure (but not usually)?

2) why is 'de que' incorrect? (but all the others require 'de')

I ask because I don't see any reference to these nuances in the above lesson

Saludos
