Spanish language Q&A Forum

Just a suggestion, I was wondering if we could potentially include like a flashcard series equivalent where we can test new vocab we come into throughout kwiziq. So that we have the ability to review it after not coming across it for some time. 

When referring to objects, would you always use 'el' instead of 'lo'?

Why doesn't "Lo de estilo victoriano me parece más valioso" work?

Me ___ viajar gustan gusta gustamos gusto

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

I'm assuming that before using this form the paragraph would start out using a tense that would ground the event in the past.  Thus I'm assuming you would not start out saying "Martina se llevará una gran sorpresa al ver de nuevo a su madre".  You'd instead start out with saying ""Martina pensaba que su madre había fallecido" or something else that signals we're talking about the past.  Is this right?

The kwiziq page "Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons" (Ser vs Estar in Spanish: Using ser in Spanish (not estar) to talk about time, days, dates and seasons) says

   Hoy es lunes.  =  Today is Monday.  ("Today" is singular.)

but

   Son las tres de la tarde.  =  It's three o'clock in the afternoon.  ("It" is plural.)

Why are these different?

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

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?
