II read in the lesson that eso and ello are mostly interchangable, except when used as a direct object. In that case you must use Eso. But in some sentences where I have used eso it was marked as incorrect in favour of ello.  What am i missing?  I didn't see a rule that said this is when ello is correct and eso is not acceptable.  Thanks

¡Hola! ¿Por qué usamos el verbo "toques" aquí? ¿No debería usar "toca" si estamos dando un consejo (tú afirmativo)? Supongo que esto es porque estamos dando un comando negativo, es decir "nunca toques" significa el mismo que "no toques". ¿Es correcto? Si es así, creo que una lección correspondiente debería estar vinculada a la oración (Forming the Spanish imperative of tú/ vosotros/vosotras (negative commands)).

So, here it says así así means so so and I remember learning that in school as well, but I've had a few different native speakers tell me that they don't say that, and they're more likely to say mas o menos. Is así así primarily used in Spain? Or is it an older saying? 

Thanks!

Hello, can you please explain the choice of el pretérito (creció) as opposed to el imperfecto (crecía) in this context?  I thought that perhaps the time marker "con el tiempo" might indicate a more extended time period, and thus signal el imperfecto.  Thank you!
