Puedes ayudarme con una oración en un libro estoy leyendo….No se si el autoro usa la palabra en una manera poética or es normalmente y correcto?  Trying to understand if Aturdir and irritar are normally used like the above verbs ‘ like gustar etc.  The following sentence from New Penguin short stories in Spanish [ de la cuenta ‘ La Indiferencia de Eva].    Me aturden las personas muy activas y, si son mujeres, me irritan. 

There are four examples given of fractions in the end of the lesson : 

 tres cuartos, 

dos decimos,

 tres octavos, 

 un septimo  

These examples are supposed to show the need for plurals when the numerator (top number) is more than one.  Unfortunately all the numbers choosen ( dos and tres) end in "s".  I found myself somewhat confused, and wondering if this meant that the top number should also  have an "s", por ejemplo sietes ochos instead of siete ochos.   

 It would be clearer if you used included a fraction that did not end in "s";  por ejemplo  cuarto octavos instead of tres octavos. 

Why can't we use acontecimientos for private events in place of eventos? I think they're synonyms. 

The RAE seems to say that it is correct to have no accent on the vosotros vorms of liar and criar.

Regarding the hints in the tests. Sometimes the hint says to conjugate in "El pretérito Perfecto Compuesto" and other times just "El pretérito Perfecto". If I enter El pretérito Perfecto simple it's incorrect. The study buttons take you to the same lesson, and seem to be asking for the same answer, am I missing something?

los humanos PARA sobrevivir en el planeta rojo. why use para here ? what is its significance? 

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.
