Why are numbers written with the feminine article when telling time "es la una y media", but written with the masculine article when writing the date, "mi cumpleaños es el uno/primero de enero"?
when do you include "Y" between parts of a number? One speaker uses it and the other does not. Vente seis anos vs. cinquenta y siete anos
My understanding was that the accent falls on the penultimate syllable unless another syllable is accented. Given that where does the accent fall on “peinar”? Is it not split into pe in ar?
When asking for Angela’s phone number why is it “a Angela” and not “de Angela”
Hello:
in the exercise at: https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/my-languages/spanish/exercises/judge/314/481235?response=57969&page=8
sentence: My mother uses her mobile phone to make calls and send texts
Spanish: Mi madre usa el teléfono móvil para hacer llamadas o mandar mensajes.
The exercise says: "and", but the translation is: "o"
i.e.: and send texts.
Kwizbot: o enviar mensajes.
You: y enviar texto
Why is the translation "o" 9meaning "or" 0 instead of "y" meaning and as per the text?
Is there an error here, if so what lesson would answer this?
Thank you, Nicole
"In Spanish, you use hubo whether it is followed by one item or many, unlike in English."
In Preterite, if third person singular is also used for plural, when is third person plural used?
¡Gracias!

· I know her: Le conozco / La conozco
There is a lot of discussion on the internet about whether “him” and “her” are direct objects of conocer that should use lo and la.
