Hi. I remember learning that when we almost do something in the past, then we use the present tense, so that ¡casi me desmayé!  would be ¡casi me desmayo! 

Is this right or wrong or an acceptable alternative in speaking or writing?

Thanks

In a test question, I answered “Nosotros nos llamamos Ana y Maria” and was marked incorrect, with “Nos llamamos Ana y Maria” offered as the correct answer, yet.......your lesson on reflexive verbs uses nosotros nos in an example. I am aware that the pronouns can often be dropped but I feel a bit cheated given it is used in the lesson example and not accepted in my answer in the test question.

Kwizbot           Llamamos inmediatamente a la recepción/ a recepción

You                  Inmediamente llamabamos a la receptión

(Hightlights are for my info in keeping track of my mistakes and corrections)

I was wondering if you could refer me to a lesson that goes over placement of adverbs - I looked at the lesson re this section, but it didn’t mention placement, just how to form it. And also how to know when to use the article and to not use in "a la recepción/ a recepción"

Thank you.

Can I switch the two parts of the sentence and keep the basic structure of each clause and keep the meaning?  For example, instead of "Haciendo unos muebles de madera me corté con la sierra.", could I say:  "Me corté con la sierra haciendo unos muebles de madera."

Please note,  when I eliminate the pronoun to the verb   ie  yo  tiene     -   tiene, it is marked incorrectly;

also   when  the object is relating to a profession ,ie,:  Yo soy una cantera    it's marked incorrectly and sometime it is the opposite.  

Is there any reasons as to why this is the case.

Answer given was "compráoslos". Should it not be "cómpraoslos" ? Similar to "Prepáratelas" and "Cómpratelas" . 

It seems to me that it is a statement of opinion or one of uncertainty, not a statement of fact.

Thank you

Wishing all the Kwiziq team and all the students here a very Happy Christmas and all the best for the New Year! 

¡Feliz Navidad! :))
