Kwiz going wrong?In the kwiz, I got:
¿Vive aquí ________ Julia Pérez? Tengo un paquete para ella.
as I saw both first name and last name, according to the lesson, I used 'la doña'. I quote:
We use "don" and "doña" in a very similar way to the titles señor/señora. In English these are also the equivalent of Mr. or Mrs. but with the difference that we use them followed by the person's first name or followed by both first name and surname, but never just their surname.
The example even shows: Hemos otorgado el premio a don Javier Cuevas.
Yet, the answer tells me it should have been 'la señora', while in the lesson, no example is to be found stating the combination of 'la señora' (or el señor for that matter) followed by both first and last names.
Is the kwiz wrong here, or am I still missing a clue?
Hola Kwiziq team,
Quick question; in the example below is unos agreeing with minutos? Or should it be agreeing with pelicula?
La película dura unos ochenta minutos.
Thanks as always.
Fran
How do we know to use para ser vs para una?
Did I miss a lesson? I notice in some of the examples Unas is in front of describing what the person is wearing such as or buying Debo comprar unas camisetas verdes o
unas gafas elegantes.. and it does not translate, what is the rule
Regarding "After I tried so hard...", couldn't "Despúes de que me esforzara tanto..." be another acceptable answer?
I think this might be more common in written Spanish?
Saludos
I have answered two questions which I was marked incorrect.

Why is 'peli' not accepted in place of películas?
Hola Inma,
Just to say that this is a great lesson, and goes a long way to making clear something that I have found very difficult.
Thanks a million. John
Este es el título del uno de mis lecciones bajo de sujeto, ¨Conjugate ver in El Pretérito Perfecto (present perfect)".
He lo tratado pero, me parece que es muy difícil a preguntar una pregunta en el forum en una moda que consigue para mi una respuesta.
Gracias, Jaime
Hola,
Are we saying here that the use of 'de' is optional?
Gracias,
Bear in mind, though, that when this is used with the verb tener or haber, then you can add "de". For example:
Esa historia no tiene nada de particular.No había nada de irónico en mis comentarios.
