el pez

el juez

I thought general experiences were talked about in the Imperfect.  The time markers given in this lesson match up with https://spanish.kwiziq.com/learn/theme/746448.

And also this lesson seems to indicate using the Imperfect:

Using the imperfect tense in Spanish to express habits or repeated actions in the past (El Pretérito Imperfecto)

I’ve read the explanation for the lesson several times but I still can’t understand the answer from the quiz below:

Prompt: No fui al trabajo, ________ sino porque estaba enferma.

I didn't go to work, not because I didn't want to see my boss but because I was ill.

I am curious how this structure would work if the direct object is a pronoun, something like the following.

I had a beautiful beer mug.  I accidentally dropped it.

"El descuento está a 20% (ahora)". Is this a correct way to use this kind of costruct?

Thank you as always!

Why isn't it "aprender LA informática"? Is it because informática follows aprender?

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

I noticed that nunca goes after nosotros,yo,él/ella, but not estoy. Why is that

It would be great to provide the meanings of some of the expressions such as higos a brevas and se mantiene en sus trece.  Also, I would like to be able slow the speed down as they are speaking a bit fast.

You should probably add this to the brainmap - I could only locate this by manually searching through the library
