I came across this sentence containing "Lo que" but for the life of me, can't figure out (by only looking at the Spanish) that "lo que" here means "whatever" and would therefore trigger the subjunctive.

How can I tell what is being intended by just reading such a sentence and be able to choose between "what" and "whatever"?

Thank you,

Nicole

What a beautiful speaking quality! She speaks clearly and distinctly and it was a joy following her. I did not have to depend on the text that much.

inscribirse a o inscribirse en?

Hello! I thought the hint for "to sign up for" was "inscribirse a." The correct response was "inscribirse en." Are both forms acceptable? Thank you!

por vs sobre

For the question "No hay muchas casas ________ el monte." meaning, there aren't many houses on the mountain, why wouldn't sobre work? If I wanted to say "there aren't many books on the table", wouldn't sobre be acceptable in that instance?

With the indefinite articles un/una (= a plural),

I'm not clear on what you mean by "(= a plural)"

Thanks

Food is over?Hubo mucha comida en la fiesta.

There was a lot of food at the party. (completed action in the past)

Había mucha comida en la fiesta.

There was a lot of food at the party. (action not completed in the past, descriptive)

Which action is (not) completed in the past? The party? What if we add "ayer" at the end of the examples? Will is change anything? Is the process of eating food meant at completed? So "hubo" in the first example means that food was over at the party?

Please help me to understand the differences in these examples. Thank you.

Acordarse vs recordar

Considering acordarse vs recordar, is one more common than the other in LatAm Spanish for talking about remembering? Also, is there a lesson that talks about when to use and not use “de” with acordarse? Gracias!
