A beseeching to the God of the Polyglots. Mode of communication between students and staff needs improvement.
There are 2 types of communication that I use on this website. The first type, questions about grammar, have always been answered most expertly and completely, way beyond expectations. My comments below are about the 2nd type, questions about the accuracy of the results of a quiz. It is the mechanics of communication needed in these cases about which I am commenting here.
1. The editing window in the forum needs some editing capabilities. The most important being the ability to add attachments. This cannot be easily dismissed. When I send a comment on a quiz result, I am always asked where it originates and I have no easy way of describing that and, without that description you are unable to properly respond. If I could take a snapshot of the quiz results and send that snapshot to you that would go a long way towards making this process more fruitful and less painful for both the student and staff. This suggestion really needs to be discussed further.
2. Add some kind of tag or identifier to be displayed in the quiz results page as an index to identify the source when a student wants to discuss quiz results with the staff. Then, you would not have to ask a student where the result originates.. There are simply too many possible places (hundreds of grammar topics and hundreds of quizzes) and no easy way to identify them after the quiz has taken. The fact that I may be the only one who ever makes such a suggestion, which I expect I am, does not mean that other students are not having similar difficulties in discussing quiz results as I am. I would bet my bottom dollar that they are.
3. Allow email as a means of communicating issues that may require advanced editing capabilities.
Ever appreciative, James

Juan y tú proveísteis
Hello,
I hope everything is well at Kwiziq!
How would I express something like:
"They are my dad's"
Would it be:
"Son de mi padre"
Ser is a verb and I'm not sure if it can be used with the preposition "de" like this or if this is a common way to express "they are" in Spanish. Could you use the pronouns: este, esta, estos, estas, ese, esos, esa, esas?
Thank you,
Andrew
How does "could" translate from "Dónde estará esa chica?" Isn't that future tense? Would "¿Dónde podría estar esa chica?" be more correct?
Hi,
My answer "algunas vacaciones largas" was marked wrong and "unas vacaciones largas" was given as the correct answer for "some long vacations." Why is algunas wrong? The lesson doesn’t address either unas or algunas.
Thanks. K
En la tienda no ________ ni pan ni dulces. In the shop, they didn't have bread or cakes.(HINT: Conjugate "tener" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.)
I'm not clear on the difference between Quedar and Quedarse when expressing results. The lesson says to use quedar to emphasize a result, and to use quedarse to express the result of a change. What's the difference, please? For instance, the following two examples seem pretty similar to me:
Seguro que quedarás contenta con tu pelado nuevo.
I am sure you will be/end up pleased with your new hair cut.
¡Laura va a quedarse pasmada con la noticia!
Laura will be astonished with the news!
Thanks.
I’m confused, is there another way to determine when to use a direct or indirect pronoun? Eg, how do you apply “for whom, to whom” in this sentence:
Me explicó su porqué pero no le creí. She explained her reason but I didn't believe her.
Muchas gracias,Shirley.
