ve llegar a ... su madre

This is an interesting construction. is there a lesson that deals with it?

It would seem to me that 'a su madre' should be after ve. could K say ... ve a su madre llegar?

El verbo fastidiar también es un amigo falso.

"Fastidiar" is another false friend. In English, to be "fastidious" is to be very attentive to detail, accuracy or cleanliness.

Use present perfect tense for questions?

Just wondering if we can use the preterite tense for questions or if the present perfect tense is the only option.  There are two examples of questions, both using the present perfect tense:  ¿Tú has montado en globo?   ¿Has jugado al golf alguna vez?

Thanks.

comparison in lessons

Thank you Inma for further clarification.  I have enjoyed this site, but the one thing I would like to see in the lessons are these kind of comparisons.  Just my recommendation.  I do appreciate the work you do.

Use of verse________ de gritar de alegría cuando la vi llegar.I was tempted to shout with happiness when I saw her arrive
I wrote me vio tentada which was was marked incorrect and should have been me vi tentada  but the lesson itself talks about me vio obligado.  
Would you clarify please.  Many thanks. Trefor

Using numbers as pronounsWith the question ¿Cuántas alumnas aprobaron el examen? why is the answer ciento cincuenta and not agreeing in any way with the fact that they are alumnas and not alumnos (as per the following example)?

¿Cuántas personas acudieron a la manifestación? -Trescientas.How many people attended the demonstration? -Three hundred.

Error with answers

Hi,


I got the following question in a test:

Tuvimos muy buenas experiencias en ________ juventud.

We had very good experiences in our youth.

(HINT: Choose the right word having in mind the ending of the noun)

The two possible answers were twice "nuestra", but one of them is marked wrong when chosen.

Lesson missing from the Brainmap

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