How to say to remind someone of something with the verb recordarI think the answer to a test question is incorrect. Under the C1 topic of "How to say to remind someone of something with the verb recordar", the question is:
El olor de esta comida _________________ mi ninez.
The smell of that food reminds me of my childhood.
HINT: It conveys something that is brought to her mind.
(Sorry, I can't type the tilde above the n).
The accepted answer is "me recurerda a". I think it should be "me recuerda".
This is the lesson:

This is what it says:
The cases mentioned above using the preposition "a" are all to do with "finding some kind of similarity between two things or two people". This is when we use the preposition a.
However, there are cases when it still means "to remind of ..." but here the idea is that "something is brought to mind".
By process of elimination, I selected estuvieron as being the correct answer; however, my preference would have been estaban.
See the example given below:
Mario estaba de camarero en un restaurante.
Mario was working as a waiter in a restaurant.
Here is the question with the answer:
Mis hijos _estuvieron_ de vendedores en una tienda.
My children were working as shop assistants in a store.
My choice:
Mis hijos _estaban_ de vendedores en una tienda.
Would you explain the reason for the answer being the preterite and not the imperfect, please.
Why is the past participle used after the verb sigues. Can you point me to the lesson where this structure is explained. Many Thanks
I am very confused. In the above lesson it describes when to use poder in the preterite indefinido.
in this lesson there seems to be No specific moment in the past or where speaker is outside the time frame
This lesson "Conjugate poder in the preterite tense in Spanish (El Pretérito Indefinido)" it describes when to use the preterite indfinido when referring to a specific moment in past and time it happened is relevent OR referes to pastwhere speakersees themselves outside the time frame

The lesson says "Sometimes "ya" is omitted, and the structure admits some flexibility"
But when is the "ya" omitted? And why?
Hi, For some reason when trying to get the video, it says Video unavailable.
However, I was able to see other videos i.e Súbeme la radio - Enrique Iglesias etc.

If I'm correct, it appears from the quiz that "aquel" and the equivalent "todo aquel que" forms have identical meanings. Would it be worth adding a note in the lesson to clarify that "todo aquel que" is simply another alternative?
When I took the ¿Cómo Estás? A2 Kwiz related to this subject, this question below was marked wrong ("feliz" in red), saying my answer should have been "contenta". Since they both refer to being Happy, can you explain why Contenta is better in this sentence?
MARÍA: Venga chicas, ¡ánimo! Yo estoy muy feliz, ¡tengo un trabajo nuevo!
