In the following sentence: "No dejes que Marcos te convenza. Es un embaucador."
Why is convenzas not correct? Doesn't the "te" trigger the tú conjugation?
Gracias, Augustine

Hello,
En él puedes percibir
I assume this translates to 'In it you can perceive'. I did not know that 'él' can be use for 'it'.
Thanks

In a grammar textbook, I ran across the structure "la + de + nombre + que + verbo (+ sujeto) (+ tiempo o lugar)" as an intensifier. Does this have the same function as "qué de"?
Would it also be possible to use "Esos que" in this context?
Why can't we add these lists to our notebook? That would be extremely helpful.
Hola!
I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the purpose of doubling down on the indirect object usage in some of these examples:
"Ella le envió un regalo a Miguel.
She sent a present to Miguel."
In this example, why do you need the le if you already have Miguel. It reads to me literally as "she him sent a present to Miguel" and I suppose it feels like excessive and unnecessary additional language in an already clear sentence. Is it for emphasis? Por favor ayúdame a entender.
Is there a lesson or a table on conjugating these? Especially Traer could use some illumination in this regard, I don't recall seeing the kinds of conjugation as shown in the examples for traer. Thanks.
When we are referring back to people or persons in Spanish both words are feminine. So by translating, "for those arriving" it would have to be "las que llegan" no? If not what masculine word is "los" referring back to? Thanks.
