Spanish writing exerciseRE: Chupachups (B2) Spanish writing exercise Sentence: In this way, the brand grew over the years HINT: In this way = de este modo Kwizbot De este modo, la marca creció con los años I was surprised that the preterite was used here and not the imperfect, as they are talking about over the years, which would have been an ongoing growth up to a point in the future, meaning that the growth was ongoing. Per the lesson attached to this section: Using El Imperfecto vs El indefinido (general use) it states: El Pretérito Imperfecto for actions in the past with no clear beginning and end. I’m sure there is an end to the action, there doesn’t seem to be a clear end. What am I missing? Thank you.

Forming the singular masculine and feminine of regular adjectives

Question in A1 Focus Test

Mi vecina Patricia es ______.

Hola,

I put "maleduca" because it's a woman, it's singular and when "maleducar" is conjugated in El Presente, it comes up as "maleduca." Why is it marked wrong? Why is "maleducada" the correct answer?

In relation to that, I don't feel the question has been covered well because we have not encountered that word previously and I cannot find it in any lessons on the Lawless website.

Gracias por la respuesta!

Allá, Ahí and Aquel, Ese

I noticed the sentence below in a quiz. I'm curious to know why "ese" is the natural choice here instead of "aquel." I had thought that both words should indicate maximum distance.

select ...AhíAlláAquíAllá, en ese país tan lejano, la gente trabaja demasiado.

Relative pronouns "el que" and "lo que"

I am having trouble with these. I was thinking "con el que", "para el que", etc meant "... which" as in 5124

and that "con lo que" and "de lo que", etc. meant "... what", as in 5125.

But then I missed some questions because I used "con el que" instead of the correct "con lo que". Can you help me out?

Thanks
