Hello 

I see two lesson of pedir que with subjuntivo present and imperfect, both says this way is used to ask someone to do something but i am really confused when to use present vs imperfect with pedir que.

Thanks

¿Qué te parece utilizar "podrías pedir" en lugar de "podrías preguntar" en la segunda pregunta de este ejercicio?

 ha participado en numerosas producciones españolas que le han convertido en famosa

I put la han hecho famosa as the structure seems like a transitive verb but was marked wrong.

Is that because of using hacer or is it leismo

Gracias

There were various correct answers but all had Inglés capitalised.  I chose the answer below and was marked correct but is it?

I saw this in an article on the BBC about direct and indirect object pronouns.

Escuchamos al cantante.

Le escuchamos.

Is that corrrct? I don’t get why we'd use the indirect object pronoun here. What is the direct object in this case?

Is there a subtle difference implied between "asi" and "así que", or is the difference not so subtle?

The speaker said dió rather than dio. 

Just a tad confusing although it probably happens in everyday speech.

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.

In view of the explanation of "ir" vs. "irse" in this lesson, how would one contrast "irse" vs. "salir"
