How common is the second form of the imperfect subjunctive in everyday language? I.E. The conjugation that has 'iese' for ER/IR verbs and 'ase' for AR verbs.  Do native speakers favor one over the other?

Could "la plataforma" also be correct for platform, or is that Latin American?  Thanks

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.

This sentence sounds more like do not come back with that girl... could I say No vueulvas a esa chica?

Hola,

It seems like all previously accented words, such as lámpara, pájaro drop the accent, so that pronunciation is on the penultimate syllable - pajarito, lamparita?

Is that the case and are there any exceptions?

Gracias,

I have a couple of questions:

How to determine when to use en/el or no article in sentences like Me gusta ir a la playa en verano 

From the exercise:

I like going to the beach in summer

Kwizbot     Me gusta ir a la playa en verano 
You            Me gusta ir a la playa el verano

In writing the adjective for this next section, it made me realize that I need info on forming adjectives and wondered if you have  any lessons on forming adjectives:

For example, from the test:

Re: is very relaxing

Kwizbot     es muy relajante 
You            es muy relajado

Thank you,

Nicole

Hola,

Re: Se la había comprado. 

How can one tell when reading or hearing this sentence, - if it was a standalone sentence -  that the “se” means  the plural “les” .

    For example if this sentence is entered in Reverso:  “Se la abía comprado.”  they translate it as “ I had bought it for              "him”.  So there’s no way to know from the sentence that it was bought for “plural someones”.  

Would this conundrum ever happen in real life, i.e. in converstion or writing, or would it always be clear from the preceding sentence?

Thank you for your patience,

Nicole

The English translation says “We” for “acaban”. Should it be “they”?
