This lesson seems to be completely ambiguous: sentir - "what" we feel. 

sentirse - "how" we feel, not what we feel. 

Cada vez que veo esa película siento escalofríos. How do I feel? -  "shivery"

Ella siente pena por la gente pobre. How do I feel? -  "sympathetic"

Me siento emocionada por la generosidad de la gente. - What do I feel? - "emotion"

Surely there has to be a better set of rules for differentiating sentir from sentirse.

HELP

"I couldn't find her so I left" - I put encontre (with an accent) because it was a completed action. I thought that encontraba would be the past continuous. Am I misunderstanding something?

There is a question/answer set that may need attention, unless I'm really having a memory lapse!

The question is...

Which sentence reaffirms the fact that he does know about it:

The answer choices are...

En cuanto lo sepa.
Sí yo lo supiera.
Sí que lo sé.

...with "Sí que lo sé" being marked as correct.

Again, unless I'm really forgetting something here... I think either the question should be...
"Which sentence reaffirms the fact that you do know about it:"

...OR the correct answer should be:
Sí que lo sabe.

If I am forgetting something here, I will be happily corrected/reminded!

Hi, my understanding was that "un poco" was always used when poco was used as a pronoun, instead of as an adjective or adverb along with the explicit noun?

Ex:  Quieres arroz?  Si, un poco (de arroz).

Ex:  Solo quiero poco arroz.

Ex:  Necisito estudiar poco.

Is this not correct?

Thanks!!  

*(BTW, this website is so incredibly helpful. 

The third example above is written "Los conciertos de la calle son ruidosísimos."

If so, it seems to violate the rule of taking the masculin form and replacing the "o" with "ísimo".

If not, is it a typo?

The text says:

Desde entonces, hemos sido como uña y carne

In all the lessons with desde to mean 'since' we are told to use the present tense.

I put 'Desde entonces somos como uña y carne' but was marked wrong. What is the error here?

Gracias

In the examples we have “llegar a casa”, “salgo de casa”, and there is also the expression “estoy en casa”.  None of these expressions use articles. They also all use verbs of movement or location. 

Do we ever use the definite article with “casa”, for example, to say “I’m going back to the house” by saying “Regreso a la casa”? Or does it change the English translation if we omit the definite article, that is, if we say “Regreso a casa” does it mean “I’m going back home”? 

I know this is off topic but you use many rich examples that provoke questions.

I can conjugate Tener in the present tense while asleep. I can conjugate Tener in the present tense if I was no longer alive. Why does this bot want me to continue to practice conjugating Tener in the present tense? How do I move past a subject. This is a waste of time. Thanks for your help.

Hola Inma, 

Yo usé se volveré en este frase. 

¿Hay alguna razón específica para usar convertirse? Saludos y feliz el año nuevo. John
