Great work!

All fine, except "Ninguna fecha es lo más importante". Sentence is alright if you want to say that there is no date of the year that you consider more important than anything else. If you want to say that there is no date more important than other dates, "lo" must be changed (or deleted). (Hint: "la fecha más importante").


And again: "mi" = my; "mí" = me.

Duy ... did you add that last sentence later? It wasn't in the email.....

Let's try again:
Ninguna fecha es la más importante para mí.

(Yes, I had to add something about it.)


Perfect!

(Side note: "La" can also be omitted, and sense wouldn't change.)

Can you correct the other one too?

About the omission of the "la", I noticed that you said that the first time. I'm still noodling with that one.

Here's the other:
Mi jefe anterior es para mí una persona respetadísima.

Interesting ... I can't seem to get straight "mi" and "mí". I don't know why. I usually get the words with accent/meaning changes right ... "esta" y "ésta" y "está", etc.... "tu" y "tú"......

Great!


I guess you're "influenced" by the fact that "ti" doesn't bear an accent, but I think you will soon get used to "mi" and "mí".

Mi is a possesive and mí is a pronoun (of some kind).

Also:

2) ¿Quién es, en tu opinión, un actor comiquísimo?
Una actriz comiquísima es Bette Midler.

Actor is for male and actriz is for female. You had to name a male comic.

Todas las novelas de Michener ...

Bette Midler es una actriz comiquísima / Una actriz comiquísima es, por ejemplo, Bette Midler.
