Ella estaba deseando empezar su viaje a Honduras"Ella estaba deseando empezar su viaje a Honduras."

The quiz translated this as "She is looking forward to starting her trip to Honduras." Wouldn't that be "Ella está deseando empezar su viaje a Honduras."?

Order of objects after the verb.

When we write objects after the verb, do we always write them in the order Direct Object followed by Indirect Object, like this?

(Les) cantaron una canción a Pedro y Pablo por su despedida.

Or can we change the order like this:

(Les) cantaron a Pedro y Pablo una canción por su despedida.

Thanks.

PS How can I find my answered questions? I don't seem to be getting notifications.

Use of third person plural

The lesson says that gustaría is only used in the third person singular. However, what if the things that would be liked are nouns, not verbs. Wouldn’t the plural be used to reflect this, as an example “nos gustarían unas cervezas” - we would like some beers?

Pudo ser vs podría/pudo haber sido

Hola, mi amiga dijo "este domingo no pudo ser más lindo". ¿Tiene el mismo significado que este domingo no podría haber sido? Me pareció rara la frase. Parece que a ella no le gustó este domingo, pero la verdad que sí. Es de Argentina, así que quizás sea cuestión de dialecto no sé.

Is this lesson complete?

Hello, I wondered if you could check if this lesson, under JUGAR there is only one option for it's meaning, but I was asked a question that may have needed a separate part of the lesson. Something about "playing with someones feelings:
Thanks
