Sentirse or sentir

The question is:

Qué ________ por ese chico?What do you feel for that guy?

The answer given was sientes. However for me a possible answer to the question could be "I feel happy for him" which translates (hopefully) into Me siento feliz para él. So should the answer to your question not the reflexive "te sientes"

¿Dónde quieres comer cuando salgamos esta noche?In order to use salgamos wouldn't querer need to be in the future -querrás? At least that is what I thought according to the lesson, but the choices in the question only gave answers using quieres so I didn't know how to apply the lesson to this question.

Vowel changes You say in the lesson that "the first vowel -e- in the stem becomes ie" but you choose as one example a verb (recomendar) where in fact it is the second -e- that changes. Maybe a slight rewording?

“En lo que a mí respecta” seems a really awkward way to say this, certainly in English. Is there another way in Spanish?

Do you have to use "usted"It appears that the word tú is dropped from the phrase ¿De dónde eres? Can you also drop usted and just say ¿De dónde es?

Contestar a

The question

________ a vuestra pregunta.I am answering your question.HINT: Conjugate "contestar" in El Presente Continuo.

I understand the answer Estoy contestando buy why is the preposition "a" included in the original sentence. "Vuestra pregunta" is not a person. Estoy contestando a vuestra amiga

Rationale and memory aid?

I notice from the examples that hacerse seems to be used (with few exceptions) when the change is under your control or voluntary. This is logical because you are "making yourself" change.

And quedarse means "keep", suggesting that you're stuck with the change permanently!

This seems to help me. I hope it helps other students.
