Aprovechar(se) - misleading hint
1. In your "hint", you told us to "... use a pronominal verb for 'take advantage' " -
- but despite that^, in order to get a correct answer we were supposed to write: "Aprovecha la ruptura para conocerte más a ti misma" - [i.e., with 'aprovecha', a non-pronominal verb?]
("Aprovecha la ruptura ..." is of course quite consistent with the guidelines given in your lesson at Spanish verb Aprovechar vs Aprovecharse (pronominal verbs) [number 7478] ... so it is only your 'hint' which needs to be modified, not your text).

2. In your sentence: "... ya que ambos estábais sumergidos en una relación tóxica", there should not be a tilde in 'estabais'?
Hola,
'Estamos a 28 de diciembre' should also be considered correct here, right?
I noticed in the given examples in the lesson for estar to talk about dates, that 'estamos a' is always followed by a date written in words. Is it acceptable to use 'estamos a' followed by a date in digits?
Thanks,
Benhur
Could I also say por vuestra luna de miel? In case I would like to emphasize the reason for going here, not the timeframe?
Hi,
What is the gender rule for adjectives when describing two nouns of different gender? See sample phrase:
' con inversores y empresas muy poderosas...'
Does the adjective match the gender (and number) of the last noun?
Hi, are the following translations correct? Especially, I am a little confused about #2 (and #4), and wonder if "No creo que tú tuviera razón." is right for #2. Thank you.
1. I do not think you are right.: No creo que tú tengas razón.
2. I do not think you were right.: No creo que tú hayas tenido razón.
3. I did not think you were right.: No creía due tú tuviera razón.
4. I did not think you had been right.: No creía due tú hubiera tenido razón.
Hola Inma,
Just wanted to ask if it would be possible to cover 'aguantar' at some point when you have time? It's a word that I often remember hearing as a young child. I think it'd be a good word to cover as it seems that it's often used in Spanish.
Gracias y saludos :)
Hi! Is there any difference between the prepositions en and sobre with the verb pensar? E.g. can I say Ellos siempre piensan sobre el trabajo ?

Is this an impersonal sentence?
The answer says "yes" but I think it can be "no". It seems more natural to translate this as "They have found a shipwreck on the beach." which could be a sentence from a story where "they" have been identified previously. Do you want us to answer "yes" for being "impersonal" whenever a sentence has no subject and uses third personal plural form of the main verb?
