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?
Hello, all these examples are in the form QUERER + INFINITIVE.
Would the translations be the same for QUERER + NOUN?
ex. I didn't want the free food. "No quise la comida gratis" or "No quería la comida gratis"?
Thanks.

This exercise provided another example of a passive which [at first] seemed to focus on the result rather than the process, such that I got it wrong > I wrote: "El viaje onírico X está X considerado [como] objeto de estudio". However, after thinking about it, I believe I can now see how it should be interpreted as a process and rendered: "El viaje onírico es considerado [como] objeto de estudio" - because the English original is equivalent to: "The dream trip is treated as a subject of study by scientists"... (Even so, a possible alternative is to think of it in these terms: "... is regarded as a subject of study", which is more like a result).
Hola
Answer given was "compráoslos". Should it not be "cómpraoslos" ? Similar to "Prepáratelas" and "Cómpratelas" .
When I put Yo entiendo instead of just Entiendo it was marked incorrect. Is it my error or a program error ?

Hola,
A little confused on the structure of this:
Deja que yo busque la carretera en el mapa.
It's the part that deja plays - I'm interpreting it as imperative. I'm thinking it should be dejame, or something like that?
Gracias,
Does the meaning change depending on whether the subjunctive in used when the sentence is in the past?
For example
Por más que intentara, nunca lo logró.
or
Por más que intentó, nunca lo logró.
Hi,
I get confused at times with the meaning of items in parentheses, for example, like in this:
but generally all of them give (us) a sweet [US: some candy].
Kwizbot pero normalmente todos dan un dulce.
You pero normalmente nos dan unas dulces.
What meant by the different parentheses? (us) a sweet [US: some candy]. And how are they to be interpreted?
Thank you. Nicole
Hi- I thought pronouns had to come before conjugated verbs. For example, I would think "Explain it to him well" would be translated either "Se lo explica bien" or, if a command, "Explicáselo bien". However, in the quiz for this section, the correct answer is verb se lo bien. Can the pronouns be placed after but seperate from the verb?
Thanks
