Examples given end in "s"

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.

Desde que + subjuntivo

Hola Inma,

The sentence below appears to have the incorrect emphases; it appears as an example of desde que being used in the subjunctive, with something that will happen in the future. That said, I think you could retain the existing emphases as well because if I understand the lesson correctly, the subjunctive would also apply to hasta que.

Mañana, desde que aterrices hasta que llegues al hotel habrán pasado un par de horas.

Saludos. John

re: Use of que

Question re: So as to not fall in the water.

Kwizbot para que no nos caigamos en el agua.
You para que no caernos en el agua.

You could also say: para no caernos en el agua.

Hola,

I was very curious to see that the “que” was dropped in the 2nd answer.

Could you please explain why? And why it is needed in the first sentence and would not be used in my answer.

Thank you so much!

Nicole

Numbers. Siete - 7. Why marked as incorrect?

I don't understand why numbers written out in full rather than as numbers are regarded as incorrect. Siete = 7. Should have the option.

Te llamas Alan

In a quiz the question: How would you say "His name is Alan"? was marked incorrect when I answered: Te llamas Alan. It looks like this is correct. Am I missing something_

It seems to me that it is a similar couple like recordar algo/acordarse de algo but with the opposite meaning.
