The question reads, "How would you say "The person I went to the party with was my father."
==============================================
The below answer was marked as a correct answer.
"La persona con la que fui a la fiesta era mi padre."
==============================================
Why use the pronoun, la, when the object is padre, a man?
Thank you, James
I struggle with translating "the weather is very good." My inclination is to write "el tiempo está muy bueno," because it is acceptable to use está for some weather related expressions per your very helpful guidelines.
Is there any 100% reliable way that you can suggest for when to use hace vs está. Is it a matter of learning off these phrases / expressions and that they are invariable? Is anything to do with "temperature, cold, hot and weather" always expressed using hace?
Finally if I wanted to say "In Rome, there is good weather today." Could I say "En Roma hay buen tiempo hoy?" or is this invariably expressed using hace?" Thanks John
Is there any difference in meaning between “puede que” and “tal vez” or “quizás” or are they essentially the same?
Graciás

(Sorry, this is not really a question, but a hopefully helpful comment.)
Colloquially in English we often use the future tense to express present probabilities or predictions, just like the Spanish. E.g. We could say "I'm not sure where John is, but he'll be practising his Spanish I should think." Or "Do you think Fred has arrived home yet? Oh, he'll be relaxing with his feet up by now."
Consejo(s) is used twice in the exercise. At first, the impression is that this is a singular word (consejo) in Spanish where it would be plural in English (tips). But later at the end it used in the plural (consejos) for the plural. This seems confusing to me.
Hi,
I am confused by the above.
I would have thought that 'yo gusto' = I like. Can anyone explain please?
Thanks.

One of the links above (Ser or Estar?) talks about DOCTOR CLIF. DOCTOR for "ser" includes description, origin, character, time, occupation, and RELATIONSHIP. Is that wrong or am I missing something?
Can I suspend my membership in the French course until I am ready to resume?
Thank you, Inma
Hello,
I am under the impression that rico means rich.
So when we call food item rico, it appears to me to be rich in calories.
Or is it that we call it delicious because only rich people can have such a meal/ food item?
