El and la

I'm not sure when to use "el" and "la." If I wanted to say "Spanish class" would I say "la clase de español" or "la clase del español?"

Thanks.

Pronoun placement

I am confused on when to place a pronoun before the verb or after it. If I wanted to say: "Give the me hole punch", would I say "me da el perforadora" or "dame el perforadora?"

Thanks

Howard

Thank for your reply to my post.

Regarding dar - how I would conjugate dar in this instance. I would think it was probably the imperfect tense, daba, "act of that my or may not have stopped. Therefore, daba paseo. How close am I?

Enjoyment

This is an embarrassment of riches, with so many ways to say this; gozar, poseer, disfrutar, encantar . . .

With apologies to the poet, Browning, "How do I say this? Let me count the ways."

We might could travel to other countries if we didn't have to fly. At the airport, we can bend down to take off our shoes, but can't get back up!

Because I enjoy it

How does one say ". . . because I enjoy it."?

Would it be porque "lo gozo," "gozose", "gozarse", or what?

I'm having trouble with "Hemos comenzado." I'm guessing "hemos" is a verb form, probably of "hacer," but I can't find it. If it is of "hacer," when is it used rather than "tener?"

Corrections

I am new to this site and note that sometimes people quote the original message in their reply, and make corrections to it within that message and in a different color.

How do you do this?
