Qué poco vs. Cuánto ...

Am I right that I could exchage qué poco with cuánto and the sentence would be correct just with an opposite meaning?

Pescar or coger

Hi,

In English, I would say that we would normally use 'to catch' rather than 'to fish' in the sentence "Podemos pescar ...". Would coger make sense in Spanish?

Thanks.

Ways to say "become"The "correct" verb required for this sentence is "se hizo": "Ella ________ famosa después del anuncio de la tele." I put "se convirtió" because it's a major change of her position in public life. "Hacerse" is described as a change of profession!

When to use past vs perfect subjunctive?

One of the questions connected to this lesson is: No es posible que ________ en la montaña. (It is not possible that they got lost in the mountains.)

The correct answers are given as se perdieran and se perdiesen. But why can't it be se hayan perdido as well?

un asunto que invita a la reflexión

Sin duda, un tema que debería haberse resuelto hace tiempo. Creo que para una pareja "casada" (realmente comprometida con una relación de por vida) después de la boda, el empleador de quien trabaje fuera de casa debería dividir el salario por dos y establecer dos cuentas de seguridad social y de jubilación. Así, independientemente de lo que ocurra más adelante, tanto el marido como la mujer estarán protegidos. La pareja debería compartir los gastos del hogar y decidir conjuntamente las compras importantes, disponiendo cada uno de un "dinero de bolsillo" mensual justo. Una cuenta de ahorro conjunta sería una buena idea.

"voy al" or "estoy yendo"

Please explain me.

My task was to translate "I am going to the museam". I think it must be "Estoy yendo al museo". But the right answer turned out to be "Me voy al museo", which in my opinion means literally "I go to the museum".

How would you say “I want neither a sandwich nor a borrito”

One of my answers is “No me apetece un bocadillo ni un burrito”.

According to the corrector, this answer is wrong.

I do not understand because in the explanations, there is a note which reads as follows:

“We sometimes omit the first “ni” and only use the “ni” in the second element of the sentence with a verb in negative”
