Dear Inma / Silvia,

A small thank you - It was great to see the example of the English subjunctive at the beginning of this lesson because it really helped everything to fall into place.

Saludos. John

Hola      Buenas dias,   

Ustedes tiene     was marked incorrect, as it is optional to used ustedes, it should be marked correct as in the

lessons it was stated as both to be correct!

I thought I understood that an accent is used when cuándo is a question but now It’s also used when it isn’t. So when do we use cuando without an accent? I can’t work it out. 

If one wanted to say: "Police officers are needed at the bank entrance"

One can say: "Se necesitan policías en la entrada del banco."

In sentences like this can "policías" ever precede the verb?  (ie "Policías se necesitan..." 

Hola to whoever sees this:

Last translation in the exercise: 

and their history is interesting.

Kwizbot y su historia es interesante. 

You y su historia está interesante.

I was wondering why ser is used here instead of estar.

Thank you. Nicole

I learned the hard way that I shouldn't try to reason it out.  Just use aun when there is a preposition.

aun con

aun sin

and even with the clause words, like the lesson says

aun si

aun cuando

Sometimes you just have to use tricks until you have a better understanding of the larger rule!

I'm having trouble with sentir and sentirse, sentir is what you feel and sentirse is how you feel. I put "I feel scared" in Spanishdict translator and it said "siento miedo" but in Kwizik "I feel emotional" is "ME siento emocionada". Unless Spanishdict is wrong, I can't see how I feel scared and I feel emotional are different?

This is not about one of the examples here, but a question in the quiz:

"Me encanta la cocina francesa, ya sea lo salado o lo dulce."

I would have expected "la salada o la dulce" because I thought it would refer back to la cocina. Why is this change in gender?

I wonder if the chosen translation depends on the context?
