Hi,

Sometimes a word ending with a consonant takes the diminutive suffix 'illo' and other times it takes 'cillo'.  Is there a rule for this or do we have to remember which is which?

Best regards,

Colin

The test at the bottom of this lesson always marks the second answer wrong?

There's a previous B2 lesson on Kwiziq that teaches that "que" is an acceptable way to express "because". So why is "con lo que" a better answer to the question: "Me sorprende que él haya cedido ________ ha defendido su postura siempre" than simply "que"?

I don't understand how the text is "periphrasis" - in a roundabout way. How might it have been written other than the way it was?

Se puede usar así en vez de "de esta manera?"

Gracias!

It might be easier for an English speaker to think of "son" as "are" because it is not unnatural to say "two plus two are four," and to think of "igual a" as "equal to."

How do you know when to use definite articles after the preposition "de"?   For instance "la influencia de la globalización" or "la vida de las mujeres"?   Why not just "la influencia de globalización" or "la vida de mujeres"?      In this article on "de", Using the preposition "de" in Spanish with nouns for description , none of the examples have a definite article after de.

Is "ll" pronounced "ya?"
