La oracion: "que los compra acto seguido por internet" seems rather cumbersome. Is that the "Spanish" way of making such a statement? Why couldn't the same meaning be expressed as: "comprará los por internet".

Gracias.

Question about representing the past

hi. Im a litttle confused as to when we use "fui" to represent the past, and say "i was" vs "estuve" vs "era" .... To say, for instance, "i was en Mexico" I can say both "estuve en Mexico" and "fui en Mexico", whats the actual difference between the two...

thank you, Elaine

Passives with "estar"?

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).
