This is another one incorrectly graded. My answer was criáis, which is the correct Vosotros translation, yet is marked wrong.

This is marked wrong with continúa as the answer (my answer), yet continúa is the correct answer for the present tense and according to your own "help" text. There seems to be a lot of sloppy "teaching" in Progress Spanish lately.

Is "El Día de Año Nuevo" wrong for New Year's Day?

I translate this with "what would she be thinking when she made it", is that correct? What confuses me a bit is that "estaría" is used to describe events in the past but it is present here. This is still just a 'condicional simple', correct?

Elsewhere I found an example where "¿Qué estaría pensando ella?" is being translated with "what was she thinking?" Again, the past seems to be implied here.

Is miramos wrong instead of vemos? “Mi familia y yo miramos películas de terror”

Please note,  when I eliminate the pronoun to the verb   ie  yo  tiene     -   tiene, it is marked incorrectly;

also   when  the object is relating to a profession ,ie,:  Yo soy una cantera    it's marked incorrectly and sometime it is the opposite.  

Is there any reasons as to why this is the case.   

Hola,

(Sorry to revert to English!) Would the above sentence still make sense if 'la' was inserted before 'casa'?  It would then be consistent with the other similar examples, which would make it easier for me to remember.

Gracias y saludos,

Hola, 

Just wanna clarify the translated answer for "I almost fainted". The correct answer given in the exercise is "¡Casi me desmayé!". On the lesson on 'Using por poco/casi/un poco más y + present tense for nearly/almost', says the verb should be conjugated in El Presente so my answer was "Casi me desmayo" which was marked as incorrect. Are there other considerations we should note with this construction?

Thanks,

Benhur

Hi, is it an idea for a change in your software in order for example if there is a single sentence like in the above "nosotros seguimos el rastro del asesino" you could just click on it and it gets transferred to the notebook along with the vocals. Alot of the time I don't need the whole lesson to be put into the notebook. Also it would be smoother/slicker that way rather than put the sentence manually in the notebook. Also with manual imput you do not get the vocals.

Hello, please would you explain why the verb SER is used in the sentence "la comida del restaurante era mala".  I'm confused which rule is used to trigger SER rather than ESTAR,

Thanks
