Kwiz going wrong?In the kwiz, I got:
¿Vive aquí ________ Julia Pérez? Tengo un paquete para ella.
as I saw both first name and last name, according to the lesson, I used 'la doña'. I quote:
We use "don" and "doña" in a very similar way to the titles señor/señora. In English these are also the equivalent of Mr. or Mrs. but with the difference that we use them followed by the person's first name or followed by both first name and surname, but never just their surname.
The example even shows: Hemos otorgado el premio a don Javier Cuevas.
Yet, the answer tells me it should have been 'la señora', while in the lesson, no example is to be found stating the combination of 'la señora' (or el señor for that matter) followed by both first and last names.
Is the kwiz wrong here, or am I still missing a clue?
Hi could anyone tell me what " usar", "comodo", "velicidad", "dejan" "cojer" mean?

I learned Spanish in Mexico and this usage is not familiar to me. Is it more likely found in Spain?
Thank you David and Inma for your replies.
But, is the sentence not really: (Nosostros) érasmos nosotros los que ...?
And 'los que' would mean 'ones who'?

Qué semana te vas de vacaciones?
What week are you going on vacation?
There are 52 weeks in a year.
Apparently, 52 is a large enough universe to use Qué and not Cuál.
If you wanted to say: What day of the week is today?....
would you say Qué dia de semana es hoy? or Cuál dia de semana es hoy?
There are 7 days in a week.
Is 7 a small enough number to use Cuál? or....
Are you asking for a definition of the day and therefore Qué?
In the kwiz, the sentence is: "La matemática y la aritmética no son lo mismo." I understand that we use "lo mismo" when discussing an abstract idea, but in this case, does the phrase have to match the compound subject and verb, los mismos?
Can anyone explain why the following answer options are all punctuated with a semicolon? Is this the correct use of a semicolon in Spanish? In English, it would be a comma instead of a semicolon.
For ¨People always want to give their opinion about everything.¨ my answer ¨La gente siempre quiere opinar sobre todo.¨ was marked incorrect and the correct answer was given as ¨La gente quiere opinar sobre todo.¨
What happened to the ¨always¨ ?
