The quiz asks you to use the gerund to say while (doing something). To get rewarded full points for this mini quiz however, you also have to select the option that uses mientras. If the question had been something like, "select the correct ways to say while (doing something)" it would have been clearer to me.

Salvador Dalí

Hola Inma,

I' m a bit confused with the articles. Why not el Salvador Dalí era un pintor? In a lesson of yours I read:

El Quijote fue escrito por Miguel de Cervantes.

El señor López era muy valorado por todos los vecinos.

Te agradezco mucho tus respuestas muy útiles!

¿A quién no le gustaría.....?

Hola Inma,

Regarding the sentence "¿A quién no le gustaría quedarse en un lugar así? With the meaning "who would not like to stay in a place like this" I expected that the subjunctive may be needed, though exactly how this would work with the conditional is beyond me. Perhaps the inference is that absolutely nobody would refuse to stay there but I am speculating. Can you help?

Saludos

John

Llevan viniendo vs han estado viniendo

Hola,

Would 'han estado viniendo' be an acceptable answer here?

Thanks,

Ben

Why funcionaba and estaba?

Most of the story is in preterito indefinido like I expected when telling about events that happened and concluded, but these two are in preterito imperfecto - is this because it can't be determined for how long they were broken/dirty (and that they may still be)?
