Simple past pedir and competir/servir

Hi,

I'm just wondering why didn't you group pedir with competiir/servir into one lesson. Their semi regular pattern with changes in the 3rd person only appear to be identical, and it would streamline the process.

Según tú, ella tenía la culpa

Hi,

In the above sentence, could 'la culpa' be replaced with 'culpar'? This way it would be like English.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Colin

Ordinal Numbers beyond 1/10 like 1/16, 1/32, ...

It might be useful to extend the article un poco beyond the values of 1/10. So giving the rules for 1/16, 1/32 and so on.

Talking about ages in general terms

Hello!

When using phrases like, "The boy is still little." or "The girl is not little any more.", would one use a form of estar, or would a form or ser be used? Thank you for your help.

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)?

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!

The indefinite adjective algún and the indefinite pronoun alguno

Please provide clearer explanation of rule, 'Don't mix the indefinite adjective algún with the indefinite pronoun alguno. You can never use alguno with a noun!'. Thank you

Omit solía?

In the first example of this lesson, could the word "solía" be omitted and simply use "nadia", as the verb tense implies "usually"?
