Para ello? “celebraremos la despedida de soltera de Paula y para ello,”.

Why “ello”? Despedida is feminine.

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.

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,

Pati Ecuamiga

Use of present perfect or present to describe continuing action

I don’t understand why my answer to this question is wrong, using the present perfect (ha trabajado). My understanding is that the present perfect can be used to describe actions that continue up to the present . May be the question to be translated should be ‘Juan has continued to work in the same company for 5 years’, then only use of the present (trabaja) would be correct. Or have I misunderstood?
