HI- It might be helpful to also clarify that you don't use a possessive when speaking of part of your body. For example: as shown above, "My leg hurts" would be translated as "THE leg hurts me" "Me duele LA pierna" ,
NOT as we would more commonly say in English, "My leg hurts me" "Me duele MI pierna".
I'm very confused by the explanation regarding the use of indirect and direct object pronouns with hacer + infinitive. The lesson says that indirect object pronouns are used with intransitive verbs, but shows direct object pronouns (lo) with the intransitive verb "arrodillarse". The lesson then says that direct object pronouns are used with transitive verbs, but then shows indirect object pronouns (les) with the transitive verb "pedir (pardón)". Is this a mistake, or am I misunderstanding?
I'm also confused by the difference between the example in the lesson and the example sentence further below:
The lesson teaches:
Les ha hecho pedir perdón al profesor"
He made them apologise to the teacher.
But the examples sentences below show:
Los ha hecho pedir perdón al profesor.He made them apologise to the teacher.
I am completely confused :(
The lesson says:
We always use the singular form of verb gustar when followed by actions!
For example: Me gustan bailar y cantar.
---
I think I understand the answer, but the example seems confusing since in this case gustar is being used with multiple verbs
Please could you tell me, how would you know which to use here-
‘Yo no he sido’- it wasn’t me
Or
‘Yo no fui’- it wasn’t me
Thank you
A great article which I thoroughly enjoyed and will watch and read a few more times. Why was the word "desgustar" used as: "bebidas para desgustar"? Is it an entendre doble somehow? Maybe disfrutar?
Could you not say Ven instead of Veis?
Hi i like potatos which are ver good yes. Me gusta potata.
Hi
Pelicula (singular) in the above has an accent in the first sentence but not in the third sentence. Is there a reason for this?
Thanks

Although we have had the sound with the video, it would be helpful to have somebody reading SLOWLY the text..In this way we can listen to the words and listen at the same time. This is how the French module is set up. It helps us learn. Graçias!
