Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hola!

I just wanted to double check this - so the pronouns are always used together? 

e.g.: Me lo estoy pasando bien or Estoy pasándomelo bien, 

but never: Me estoy pasándolo bien

I feel sure I've heard Spanish sentences with that arrangement before, but I can't think of an example. Does it work for some types of sentences but not others, or is it just never used that way? 

In this example the translation is "We couldn't see anything from our seats."  Shouldn't it be "We didn't see anything from our seats."  Why "couldn't?" 

At what point does the number start to agree with the noun?  I see quinientos libros, but catorce libros.  Is it above 20?

En la última frase, por qué se escribe "sería cumplir..."? A mi no tiene sentido. No sería mejor decir: "Ser escritora cumpliría mi mayor sueño"?

Why prefieres ir a la playa and not prefieres va a la playa

I didn't realize that the entire proper noun is not capitalized or even just the nouns in the name. Apparently only the first word is?

Ps, I didn't see a response yet to the pair of questions regarding the use of the el/lo pronoun quandary.

I have to say the use of pronouns (and to a lesser degree prepositions) is one of the most challenging parts of learning Spanish I have experienced thus far.  I am REALLY struggling on this!! If you look at my small (two question) quizzes I do fine, but when I take a ten point quiz I do very poorly on this topic.  I AM trying!  I need to go very slowly, using tools like "to whom, for whom" is the action taken to find the indirect pronoun answer but NOTHING is coming naturally at this point. Please don't take this as whining before giving up.... I am not giving up!  Anything worth having requires work so I am forging on. I just wonder... am I being unusually dumb on this?! Do any (most?) other students at my level struggle this hard on the pronoun (preposition) usage topic? As always I need to say how much I love Kwiziq and am so grateful to have found it! I'll get this sooner or later (but any other tricks to help me would sure be welcome!!).
