"En el mundo hay muchos paises interesantes pero para mí, el más interesante es Australia."
My question is, why is could one also say "lo más interesante..." and still be correct? That is, use "lo" instead of "el"?
A shorter sentence "mucha gente come uvas juntas" uses juntas!
Both la gente y las personas are feminine nouns. Why juntos (masculine)?
Just a note that, by and large, a literal translation mostly works here as well, although the construction sounds a little English (vs. American) to me. To wit: "They will have gone to bed upon arriving at the hotel because the trip was very long" is perhaps an unusual phrasing in modern conversational (American) English, but certainly not an unintelligible one, and I think it carries the same meaning.
Only the first word is being spoken in this example.
Hola soporte,
I'm struggling a little bit to get my head around the bold section: He estado de viaje y me ha encantado todo
I guess it means 'to myself, it has enchanted me all (I have loved it all)'?
But because in my English head I think it looks strange (lo/le he encantado todo seems more natural), do you have any other lessons on expressing maybe the love, like stuff with the pronoun, so that I can get my head round it.
Muchas gracias,

The answer to ‘they were about to finish their exam’ is given as ‘Han estado a punto de...’
there’s no sense that this is the situation of ‘but something intervened’, and it doesn’t feel like a natural ‘perfecto’ tense to me, more just an action in the past. So I’m wondering why the perfecto was chosen here?
