Spanish language Q&A Forum

Your translation of "There were many feminist movements" is given as "Hubieron muchos movimientos feministas"  I had "Había muchos movimientos feministas".  I can see why "hubo" would be preferred here, but I'm confused about "hubieron"  Isn't the third person singular always used for "there was/were"? 

Thank you

       I hope this might serve a beneficial purpose. I just had a conversation with someone in México (also a degreed Spanish teacher). During the conversation I thought I would tryout the new phrase I learned here; I used the phrase "Estar deseando + infinitive in our conversation: "Hija, estoy deseando pasar tiempo contigo en La Navidad."  She advised that, while she understood what I was saying, it is not commonly used there and it sounded a bit odd, as if I was translating exactly from English. She wondered if was mostly used in Spain. She advised that Spanish speakers in México are more likely to use - admittedly, colloquially-  "Ya + verb Querer:"Ya quiero que pase tiempo contigo en La Navidad." This translates to: "I am looking forward spending time with you at Christmas."   As for the phrase "Tener ganas," she agreed that it could mean " looking forward to," but in México it is more associated with " I feel like ( doing/ having something)."

In the last sentence, why is it not 'va a ser?

In question #1 where it says we are and the continuing form of the verb, I used estar + continuing form of verb and it was wrong.  But in question #6, it is the same questions and I used estar + continuing form of the verb and the answer was right.  What is the difference?
