When a word ends in -o or -a, how do we know which is preferred?  When  to use -illo, -illa, etc. and when to use -ito, -ita, etc.?   For example, is it gatito or gatillo for a little cat? Chiquita or chiquilla for a little girl?  Or are both acceptable endings?  Thanks in advance for clearing this up.

I would like to ask about the construction lleva incluida, how does it work? It seems to be differdng from the construction llevar plus active participle  (lesson in level B1) as incluida is a passive participle.

Hola

I'm confused as to why this lesson exists. Doesn't this one Using se debe/n and se puede/n + infinitive to say you must / you can (passive) already cover it??

thanks

Hi, 

I didn't get a reply to my question below, wondering if it fell through the cracks...

Thank you, Niocle

no entiendo por que, en español , necesita usar "hay" por una oración: "Hay niebla" --pero, no puedo usa la misma estructura para la expresión -- "Esta soleando". Lo se que el ley es usar "hay" siguen por un noun y usa "hay" después un adjetivo  --pero no es "niebla" un adjetivo también? verdad?

Are the other constructios in the green box synonymous with por lo tanto/así que?

Why is not puede in Subjuntivo, since it follows por lo tanto?

Hi, I have a question concerning this text: 

"at the beginning of the 17th century,"

a comienzos del siglo XVII, 

why is the plural used here and not the singular? 

What rules/lesson pertain to this?

Thank you, NIcole

Re: "because I find that it's an interesting instrument."

Kwizbot  porque me parece un instrumento interesante.

You         porque me parece “que es” un instrumento interesante

Google translates the sentence in question: "Because I think it's an interesting instrument"

leaving out the "that" in the original text. 

       Would it be incorrect to have the “que es” here?  How do I find out how to work the  “magic” of

       sentence structure.  Thank you. Nicole

Hello,

Re: Por la mañana desayuno a las nueve.

I noticed in the above that the structure of the sentence is quite different. 

Could it also be: Desayuno a las nueve por la mañana.

If yes/or no why and what would the difference in meaning.

Are there any rules/lessons concerning this?

Thank you. Nicole
