From student forum posts (like on CourseHero, Reddit r/spanish, or VHL support threads), common issues with p6-15 Estructura 1 Opiniones:
| Issue | Explanation | |-------|-------------| | Confusing saber and conocer | Saber = facts / how to do something; conocer = familiarity with people, places, things. | | Forgetting personal a | After conocer + person → Conozco a María. | | Incorrect gustar construction | “A mí me gusta” not “Yo gusto” (unless meaning “I am pleasing to others”). | | Missing accent on opinión | But the activity title is “Opiniones” – watch accents in your answers. | | Not matching number/gender in comparisons | más alto que but mayor que for age; mejor/peor irregular. |
