Detengase as a synonym?

Hi there, I tried this sentence: "El detengase de la autobus está cerca mi casa." But it was marked as incorrect, is detengase not a synonym?

Thanks!

Also I wondered if in this lesson, depending on placement, if they change part of speech and if that could also be noted. Thank you.

The “Play All” function with this lesson / list of profession in Spanish is most helpful. It would greatly enhance your course and the use of your cou

It would greatly enhance your course and the use thereof if you included the same “Play All” feature for all the examples given at the end of each of your approximately 600 lessons.

Deber + infinitive

Why is the answer "Debo enviar" wrong for this question ________ el enlace incorrecto. I have probably sent the wrong link. (HINT: Express strong assumption/supposition). If I have understood the lesson correctly "deber + infiinitive" is used for obligation but is also accepted as a strong assumption.

idea for notebook

Hi, is it an idea for a change in your software in order for example if there is a single sentence like in the above "nosotros seguimos el rastro del asesino" you could just click on it and it gets transferred to the notebook along with the vocals. Alot of the time I don't need the whole lesson to be put into the notebook. Also it would be smoother/slicker that way rather than put the sentence manually in the notebook. Also with manual imput you do not get the vocals.

Maybe changed the word "cross" to "angry" or "pissed off"

Just did this lesson and saw the word "cross". Although it does make sense in old English and some people will still understand the meaning, it is definitely not a word that is used a lot among English speakers today. I think "angry" would be a better word and would reduce the likelihood of someone not understanding what it means.

This may be a misleading lesson. There appears to be a direct contradiction here:

In: Level B2, Verbs Tenses & Conjugation, Modo indicativo, Modo subjuntivo, Oración subordinada temporal

1. Cuando is always used with past tenses in the indicative ….
2. If we use past tenses in the subjunctive with Cuando …

There appears to be a direct contradiction above:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In statement #1, it is stated that Cuando must be in the indicative mood
in statement #2, it is stated that Cuando may be in the subjunctive mood.

Use of subjunctive

Just wondering what triggers the subjunctive in this example sentence from the lesson:

Se trata de que nos reunamos para pasar un buen rato

Thanks.
