Your English original is: "the tango is one of the most sensual dances that exists in the world". During the course of the exercise, I felt that "exists" should really be plural, so I put "existen" in my translation answer - and that was accepted as correct. However, your final Spanish version still makes it singular.
when do we use aumentar vs ir en aumento?
when do we use 'en' + noun pattern? or rather when do we use 'ir`? is it a grammar pattern where 'ir' + ' en' + noun?
The lesson says "Remember that when you use this structure with an adjective, the adjective must agree with the subject." but none of the examples actually demonstrate this. It might be a good idea to throw in some feminine and plural adjective examples to more explicitly demonstrate the agreement!
Could the same sentence be used to refer to the past?
For example: Anoche fuimos a una fiesta. Después de la fiesta llamamos a un taxi.
Thanks
The suggested translation of 'to go red on the face' sounds odd. In English, we would say 'to go red in the face' or, more colloquially, 'to get red-faced'
What is the difference between usted, vosotros and ustedes? Don't they all mean 'you'?
I don’t understand the use of present perfect in telling past events.
This device is often used in story telling and especially in jokes. E.g. "A man goes into a pub and asks the barman ......" It adds a freshness and immediacy to the narrative.
