estaba or estuveI'm having trouble understanding this answer in a study plan test. Could you please explain.
Ella estaba lavándose el pelo
cuando él llegó.
She was washing her hair when he arrived.
When it is combined
with another action that interrupts the ongoing action at that time. The interrupting
action is generally in the simple past (see the last example where the ongoing
action "She was washing her
hair" was interrupted by another sudden action "he arrived”.

I was waiting for you
until I got bored and left.
era esperando
estaba esperando-----my answer
estuve esperando------correct Kwiziq answer

To me, it seems that the waiting was interrupted by "got bored and left."
I would translate quería as I wanted or was wanting. Thank you.
Hi, thanks for all your answers.
What does Aún así (both accented) mean in Concierto de Año Nuevo? Thanks,

Aunque tengo una casa muy lujosa, prefiero la vuestra. I'm confused. Where does 'vuestro' come from? What happened to 'tuyo' and 'suyo'?

Happy birthday to you. Why is ti used and not te? I can’t find a lesson on the use of ti instead of te. For instance para ti
In the introduction to this lesson, you say the meaning is similar to using "haber plus infinitive". I think you mean haber plus past participle i.e. the perfect tense
I wonder if there is an error in this question:
Este hotel, ________ inauguración fue ayer, va a recibir muchos turistas alemanes.
I think that the answer should be cuyo (because hotel is a masculine noun), but the Kwiziq answer on the test question is cuya. Is this a mistake on Kwiziq's part, or am I not understanding something?
