The examples given seem to be in the preterite, not the subjunctive. Should the title be changed, or the examples? Or am I mixed up?
I don't understand why the answer is "ustedes." The speaker seems to be talking to a single child which would suggest singular, familiar and not formal and plural. Help me understand why.
8 Esa película no es apta para ________. Solo tienen 10 años.That film is not appropriate for you. You are only 10 years old.
(HINT: Use the right pronoun after the preposition.)
nos
ustedes
sus
ti
I don't understand why there is a lesson that seems to be about the nuances between the indefinite and the perfect, but for the kwiz both tenses are accepted. What exactly are we supposed to learn here?
Hello,
I'd like to pop back to a lower level for a few lessions and quizes, apart from hitting the "test now" button, which immediatelt tests you without the benefit of seeing the lessions, is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks
and he suffered many storms during his journey.
HINT: journey = travesía.
Kwizbot y sufrió muchas tormentas durante su travesía.
You y sufraba muchas tormentas a través de su travesía .
Hello,
I was wondering why the preterit is used here and not the imperfect? I would have thought that these storms occurred throughout his journey, therefore the imperfect would be used?
Thank you for your help in clarifying this and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Wishing you the best New Year ever!

Just to say thank you for this great explanation here! I don’t remember reading this lesson before and I’m really glad I’ve found it now via the Q&A forum. Whenever I consider ‘sino’ I think of the word ‘instead’... I also didn’t know about ‘sino que’. Great lesson!
Gracias y saludos.

When I look at these two examples from the English to the Spanish there is no clear indication of why the pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo is being used vs. the condicional.
Si no hubiésemos comprado esta casa, hubiésemos tenido más dinero para vacaciones.
If we hadn't bought this house, we would have had more money for holidays.
Si no hubiéramos comprado esta casa habríamos tenido más dinero para vacaciones.
If we hadn't bought this house we would have had more money for holidays.
Hi, did I miss the part where the botes explain the difference between when to use the a ending for me olvida instead of me olvido?
Hello, in this sentence
"Mi madre usa el teléfono móvil para hacer llamadas o mandar mensajes."
During the challenge it appeared that both "hacer llamadas" and "mandar mensajes" would need their own "para", due to the way in which the sentence was broken up. I can see now in the full text that "in order to" applies to the sentence "make calls or send mesages" but in the challenge I added a "para" for each sentence.
Is it just me or could this be tidied up?
Thanks
