That would be the correct translation for Graham’s dog (as you have ended perra in a I’m assuming graham’s dog is a female)

It would slightly change the meaning as puedo hacerlo todo would be: I can do it all, and puedo hacer todo would be: I can do everything.
Both sentences even the same, you can’t move the lo though, as that has to be pinned on the end of a full verb, todo is not a verb…(you can only tag LO on the end of an infinitive or a command)

Interesting! And a similar question on #5, “Creo que en cinco dias puedo hacerlo todo.”, the “lo” and “todo” feel double. Can you say “Puedo hacer todo.”? Or, if the order isn’t important, “Puedo hacer todolo.”?

Yes, Spanish double pronoun a lot,especially when using reflexive pronouns. No quiero verle a Juan. I don’t want to see him Juan. In English, you would either say his name or him, but never both, Spanish do it all the time!

Thanks James, I got your reply while typing a new question :-)! Yes, I have heard this at the checkout, and thought it confusing. I had to look up the spelling of brooch, because I wasn’t sure either…

Hola! The grading on the steak is still present, we are going to lydl this week so I will take a snap with my phone and send it to you via email because I can’t upload pictures here…
I virtually only see it now on the Styrofoam packed steaks with clingfilm over the top if you know what I mean.
Me gustaria is of course used by Spaniards, but not in the same way as the English say I would like for everything…. no Spaniards will tell you that they use it for letting people down. Are you coming to the party on Saturday? Reply: me gustaria….(you know that the answer is now, because there’s a “but” coming.
I will definitely get you a picture of the steak grading before the week is out
