‘Uno debe...’ in B2 dictation re.Friends

Hola a todos,

I think I’m right in saying that, “Uno debe cuidar bien a sus amigos...” means “One/you must/look after/care for your friends...”. Is ‘uno debe’ just an alternative to ‘se debe’?

I also wanted to ask about the use of ‘lo suyo’ in this passage. In the context here does it mean ‘it’s their thing/it’s up to them/ it’s their job to make me laugh...’?

I enjoyed this exercise, gracias! :)

In praise of

Hola,

Would just like to say thanks for adding these preposition lessons recently (de been really helpful as well).

Hoping that definite article use is also on your upcoming list! (I find that the deployment of them isn't directly explained anywhere on Kwiqiz, and I really trust your teaching)

Gracias,

Las or Estas for "These tickets for the tennis match are cheap."

These tickets for the tennis match are cheap. : ___ entradas para el partido de tenis son baratas.

The key word here to me is "These". The answer of "Estas entradas" is marked as wrong and should be "Las" -- which would be "The tickets for ..."

This looks like a mistake to me.

ser and estar to talk about days, months, seasons..

Your approach to address this subject is confusing. Please consider rewriting the teaching or add a new teaching in ONE lesson addressing all possibilities. Include all possible questions and answers about what date,day, month, year etc.

Title of lesson is confusing Using más que for "only / just"

All the examples use “no más que”. Can the title be changed to “using no más que”?

English Translation

I'm confused by the English translation: (I didn't have any chewing gum in my pocket.) for No llevaba ningún chicle en el bosillo.

Question: Why is this not "No tenía ningún ...?

The translation I remember of llevar from an earlier lesson is to take.

Am I wrong here? Please clarify.

Understanding the story

Why is it strange that the man who was living off of her in Toledo isn't calling her back? Is it because he found some other woman for sex and money? I'm not getting the moral of this story. Why aren't her parents encouraging her to make better relationship decisions? Is this why she decided to forget her boyfriend?

English Format

Hi!

I think if the English was restructured for a few of the examples, the distinction between haber/tener would be clearer. Essentially the past participle would be moved towards the end of the sentence while placing the object after have/has.

For example: You have two rooms painted. Marta and I have a trip to Egypt planned.

Thanks!
