Quiero un crucero para mi cumpleaños.

Does it mean that he wants to be on the ship on the day of his birthday? Or does he want to receive the gift on that day?

¿Cuando podría tomar examenes C1?

Hola,

Veo que solamente puedo ingresar hasta nivel B2 con Kwiziq español. Pero con Kwiziq frances, C1 es disponible. ¿Cuando podremos hacer lo mismo con español?

Gracias.

"se transladó - or se trasladó"

Hola,

One of the alternative expressions you offer to the text for he moved to live in the United States" is "se transladó a vivir a Estados Unidos."

I think this should be "se trasladó."

Saludos

Present tense of entender

When I put Yo entiendo instead of just Entiendo it was marked incorrect. Is it my error or a program error ?

Use of the infinitive

Hola,

I just need to understand in this following sentence why 'le explicas' isn't used instead?

Podrías hablar con la jefa y explicarle la situación.

Is it treated as following poder rather than hablar?

Gracias,

Use of hacer

I'm a little confused as to why one use of hacer seems to actually be employing hacerse. The example I'm referring to is below:

Me hice construir un anexo al lado...

Why wasn't this written simply as "Hice contruir un anexo al lado..."?

Another way to ask my question concerns another example.

Hicieron pintar de nuevo ...

Why was this example not structured as Nos hicieron pintar de nuevo...?

Saludos,

which might be useful.
