I translated "I gave some flowers to your mother" as "Yo le di unas flores a tu madre". It was marked wrong and I can't work out why. I've looked at a couple of other websites and I still don't understand what I've got wrong. One site says that the "le" has to be used. The given answer didn't have "le" in it. Even if the "le" is optional, is it actually incorrect to use it, or have I got it all wrong? Thanks.

comma o no?

Dear Kwizteam,

I noticed that this construction places a comma before 'que' but not before 'porque'. In English, if the subordinate clause follows the independent clause, there is no comma. In Spanish, does this depend on the type of subordinate conjunction used?

Regards.

Lesson fails to mention volver for "become"

Volver is also used to mean "become" or "turn." As in vuelva loca.

Imperfect or indefinite?

Hola,

Los mariscos en Grecia estaban riquísimos

I would have said eran riquísimos - because it's a characteristic.

Why am I wrong? :)

Gracias,

Una gran lección pero tengo preguntas . . .

With: "Both rivers, the Amazon and the Orinoco, and their respective basins", why does Amazon get pluralized to "Amazonas"? I've seen that the masculine is "el Amazonas" and the feminine is "la Amazona". Why is that, please? I'm wondering about the use of "el río Amazonas" versus "la selva Amazona" and "la selva Amazonica".

How does "se nos" change the meaning of "Uno de esos ríos que enseguida viene a la mente" -v- "Uno de esos ríos que enseguida se nos viene a la mente".

And the use of "ello" . . . does "ello" not mean "it" or "that"? Is the use of "ello" as "this" merely the uneducated English useage where "this" and "that" and their appropriate relationships to time and place become misused? : "An example of that is Caño Cristales, a natural sanctuary."

And why the use of the future tense "existirán en otros lugares del mundo"?
