Hello, can you please explain the choice of el pretérito (creció) as opposed to el imperfecto (crecía) in this context? I thought that perhaps the time marker "con el tiempo" might indicate a more extended time period, and thus signal el imperfecto. Thank you!
In one of the mini quiz questions the answer options gave en not a as the chosen preposition: never have I gone to Paris (it said en Paris, not a Paris). We can use either and they'd be right?
Amable gracias,
Hola
Answer given was "compráoslos". Should it not be "cómpraoslos" ? Similar to "Prepáratelas" and "Cómpratelas" .

What is the difference between deber in El pretérito indefinido + El infinitivo (compuesto) and deber in El condicional simple + El infinitivo compuesto? Both lessons say they mean Should have
How does "could" translate from "Dónde estará esa chica?" Isn't that future tense? Would "¿Dónde podría estar esa chica?" be more correct?
This is a good topic. Do we need a Direct Object pronoun with other pronouns, as in the following:
- (Les) saludé a todos.
- (La) busco a alguien.
- No (lo) ha visto a nadie.
Thanks.

The intro says "Aunque, generally translated as although, even if, or despite of". I'm not sure there's any English construction "despite of", I think you may be conflating "despite" with "in spite of". As far as I can think of, these two phrases are used pretty interchangeably in English.
