The stated answer is “dónde” (with an accent), but this usage seems to be that of a relative pronoun. What am I missing? Why is it “dónde” (with an accent)

Just add sWould it be simpler to say that the plural just adds 's' to the regular masculine or feminine forms??

to or for

The confusing part is not se vs le for me but "to" vs "for." Your explanation was that an indirect object means to him/it, etc., but the example is "for him", which is very different in English. I think this needs to be explained. When I speak I usually try to clarify with "para mi" for "for me", but it may not be right.

Use of definite article

Here are two phrases from the text, both giving advice.

1 Seguramente sabrás que en primavera deberías consumir espárragos trigueros, guisantes y habas. NO ARTICLE

2 Si fuera tú, pondría ingredientes como la lechuga, las endibias, las espinacas, etc. ARTICLES.

In answering a previous question about articles, Sylvia wrote:

In summary, the choice of using or not using the definite article depends on the linguistic function of the phrase within the sentence, whether it denotes a specific entity (requiring the article) or describes a general quality or manner (where the article may be omitted).

Am I correct that the use of 'como' in phrase 2 triggers a specific entity and thus the article?

Gracias

I'm really struggling with the distinction. In English, I often don't think that I make much of a distinction between "what" and "how" I feel.For example, "What do you feel for that guy?" and "How do you feel about that guy?" are asking exactly the same thing. How would these two phrases translate (be worded) diffierently in Spanish?

Meanings of words like tenir

I am confused by this list of words like tener. Is it correct that DETENER means both to stop and arrest? This seems logical. MANTENER seems to mean both maintain and to keep, but what is the distinction between MANTENER and MATENER? Does SOSTENER mean both to support and to maintain? Does it also mean to sustain?

que se hayan hecho

Hola forum y los expertos

Mi pregunta es sobre la traduction de 'since they have became so popular on the market' a 'desde que se hiciesen tan populares en el mercado'.

¿Es possible decir también 'desde que se hayan hecho tan populares en el mercado'?
