I don't understand this question. What about ella hermana _______de novio. What will be the answer?

Hi, I was organizing my tenses chart and realize there's only "Pretérito perfecto simple" that can find "fui" in both ser and estar. I cannot find a page that shows "El Pretérito Indefinido", I'm wondering are this two tenses the same thing?

Thanks,

Hayley

and consists of a wooden box,

Kwizbot           y está formada por una caja de madera,
You                 y consiste en una caja de madera,

I read the lesson attached to this, but was wondering if the verb "consistar" can ever be used in this context, and if so/or not?

why and how would it be used?

Thank you. 

I think it would be very helpful if you gave the literal translations of sentences as well as the conversational translation. I have been assigning wrong meanings to words...

Me pediste perdón.You apologised to me.
Is there a separate word for "apologise" ?

1. Cuando is always used with past tenses in the indicative ….
2. If we use past tenses in the subjunctive with Cuando …

There appears to be a direct contradiction above: 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In statement #1, it is stated that Cuando must be in the indicative mood
in statement #2, it is stated that Cuando may be in the subjunctive mood.

You have lessons covering the usage of each tense when preceded by pedir, but I don't see anything about how to distinguish when one is more appropriate than the other. The tense of "pedir" doesn't seem to factor in. There are examples of pedir followed by either tense in each lesson.
