Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi, there are two questions on the quiz that I don't understand: (1) "Esos chicles son mentolados pero  ____  no tienen sabor" and (2) "Esos estudiantes van a viajar a Asia pero ________ no tienen dinero." Kwiziq is saying that the correct demonstrative pronoun in both cases is "estos." However, my understanding was that demonstrative pronouns should vary in gender with the noun they refer to, unless it isn't known or we are referring to statement, idea, or situation. In 1, the noun being referred to is "chicles," which is a masculine plural noun, so the demonstrative pronoun should be "estes," not estos, correct? With 2, I understand that we may not know the gender of the group, so we use esto. Can you explain?

thank you for this article. I learned many new things.

Interesting that réir in the vosotros form is riais, without an accent, but sonréir in the vosotros form is sonriáis, which has an accent!  This difference is not mentioned in this lesson.

"hacen demostraciones en directo e imparten cursos, lo que atrae la curiosidad"

Hacer demostraciones y impartir cursos son dos cosas, y las dos cosas serían referidas de las que atrae curiosidad, no? Porque habla de 2 cosas y luego tienes que usar el singular? Gracias!

I've been wondering about this topic because I've heard people using "todos l@s" around town. Thanks for the thorough explanation.

In the example “Ellos siempre estan comiendo” why is the present progressive tense used. In my research I learned that the progressive tense is used for temporary ongoing action. The use of siempre implies that it is not temporary.

I still don't understand why "usted no asistió a la fiesta" is wrong. 

You should just ask a straight up question and not try to fool us. 

The recorded voice says "Me gusta vino blanco"  it leaves out " el vino"
