"siente que su grado de veterinaria no le llena."

Why is it "le" and not "la"?

why is it quien not que

Hi, my question is regarding the quiz item:

Pedro is going to start thinking [and continue thinking] that we're silly.
Pedro se va a quedar pensando que somos dos tontas.

Are there other possibilities for the position of the "se" ?   In particular, I'm wondering about these:

Pedro va a quedarse pensando que somos dos tontas.
Pedro va a quedar pensándose que somos dos tontas.

If either of those is grammatically correct, is there any difference in meaning/tone/frequency of usage?

Thanks!

Very often in Spanish you see statements expressed both with or without the reflexive particle. Is there a difference in nuance?, I am wondering. For example, comí la torta vs. me comí la torta; murío mi mamá el año pasado vs. se murío mi mamá el año pasado...etc., etc. Is this discussed anywhere?

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to take the DELE B2 exam and I have a question about the reading section. I know that part of the reading exam tests grammar through gap-fill exercises. I’m wondering: how much does this overlap with the grammar content taught in Kwiziq B2 courses?

In other words, if I master all the grammar lessons on Kwiziq (assuming my vocabulary is sufficient), would I likely be able to pass the reading section comfortably, say, at least 20/25 points?

I’m not asking about listening, speaking, or writing, just the grammar-related part of reading.

Thanks in advance for any insights from those who have taken the exam!

Hello, 

In the test for this lesson, when it asked for a formal answer to ask Gerardo how he's doing, I selected "Comó está" and it said the response was nearly correct, and that "qué tal" is the correct response. 

Why is "qué tal" considered more correct in this scenario than "comó está"?

¿La culinaria es sinónimo de la cocina? Entonces, ¿es correcto escribir “ les encantará la culinaria colombiana?”

Hola.

I don't quite understand why el condicional (como en "debería") no tiene forma de subjuntivo en español.

Isn't it right to say “No pienso que el alcalde debiera/debiese tener un salario más bajo.”?

I'm confused about the conjugation of sorprenderse in the present indicative.  Is it in the same class as gustar?  Just a singular and plural form with indirect object pronouns?  OR is it a reflexive verb?  I've looked in several of my Spanish grammar books from Spain - but I can't find anything.  The textbook I teach from doesn't have any answers either.  Thank you.

The structure seems clear: a las dos horas  de = within two hours of; a los tres años de = within three years of, etc.  The question was this, though:

 ________, tuve que llamar al médico.
