The suitcase was very small and I couldn't put everything in it. : La maleta era muy pequeña y no pude poner ___ en ella.en ella.

How is the answer to this "todo" if the noun "la maleta" is feminine?

Hola,

The test question 'She kept on talking about Pablo.'

I was expecting there to be a personal a in there... hablando sobre a Pablo.

Just wondering why I shouldn't think that in future !? :)

Is it because a preposition isn't followed by another preposition, or something else?

Gracias,

Shouldn't "Susana nos habia pedido..." translates not as "Susana has asked us...", but rather "Susana had asked us..."?

Hello,

Why, for the translation of 'he is at his mother's house' is the spanish version 'el esta en casa de su madre' and not 'el esta en LA casa de su madre'? It feels strange that this article is dropped.

Thanks!

Hola,

A little confused on the structure of this:

Deja que yo busque la carretera en el mapa.

It's the part that deja plays - I'm interpreting it as imperative. I'm thinking it should be dejame, or something like that? 

Gracias,

Hola,

The question was ¿Vas _casa de Inéz? Both "para" and "a" were given as correct answers but in the lesson above, the use of "a" is given as also acceptable when associated with the verb "Llevar." I would have used "a" instinctively when talking about a destination but was put off using this because of the instruction.

I think there is something about "destination" that I am not understanding. Can you help?

Saludos

Hola,

In the sentence "I could be Superman", is it more natural to say "yo podría ser Superman", or "yo sería Superman"?

Gracias,

In a textbook a sentence was given as:

“ Es muy gordo; come más que dos hombres ordinaries.”

My question is why is it not más de because of the “dos” being a quantitative factor.  Is it a comparison?

I understand the notion of using estar rather than ser when the job is temporary, but there is absolutely nothing in the question to indicate that the job is a temporary or permanent position in most of the examples    If a job is to be permanent would you use ser rather than estar when referring to an appointment that someone is going to take up?  In the test questions and examples, it would seem not but the lesson notes don't explakin why.
