The question is:

You must not throw papers on the floor.
HINT: Choose the correct passive form.

The four possible answers are:

se puede tirar
se puedes tirar
te puede tirar
se pueden tirar

The correct answer given is se pueden tirar. Should it not be:-....   “No se deben tirar papeles al suelo”

hello 

when to use (la) or (lo) to refer to a person? if she or he is the direct object? because of the quiz had cases for la and lo, i would properly mixing them with le. 

When a word ends in -o or -a, how do we know which is preferred?  When  to use -illo, -illa, etc. and when to use -ito, -ita, etc.?   For example, is it gatito or gatillo for a little cat? Chiquita or chiquilla for a little girl?  Or are both acceptable endings?  Thanks in advance for clearing this up.

It would really help if the English translations were closer to the answer you're looking for, especially in this lesson where depending on whether you're in Latin America or Spain, people could choose either option and be correct.

This is the question from the quiz that I got wrong:

Hoy no _________________ a nadie interesante.I haven't met anybody interesting today.
I selected "he conocido" because that is the direct translation and it seems like that's what they'd say in Spain due to the timing. But in Latin America (which is my selected profile but I'm not sure that it actually impacts my quizzes or not), it would be "conoci".
If you translated it to "I didn't meet anyone interesting today", that would make sense in English and prompt the correct answer, would it not? Because it seems like based on this lesson, either answer is correct depending on what Spanish-speaking country you're in!

Hola,

Los mariscos en Grecia estaban riquísimos

I would have said eran riquísimos - because it's a characteristic.

Why am I wrong? :)

Gracias,

the 'tu' form of ganar in the subjunctive is gana not ganes.  It is only ganes in the negative.

Instead of just adding "Me llamo", I wrote "me llamo Juan" inadvertently giving the answer "Me llamo Juan Juan". This is accidental! Yet Kwiziq marks it incorrect! Almost certainly, this would never occur in a practical situation.

Also when using my tablet, I sometimes miss out a question by accident. Kwiziq should prompt that all the questions have not been answered. This is also accidental! Yet Kwiziq marks it incorrect! 

In one of the examples, "las legumbres" is translated as "pulses". Shouldn't that be "legumes"?
