How would you say 

I need (number) 400 to win.

Necesito el cuatrocientos para ganar.

Or 

Necesito el cuatrociento para ganar.

Also, We need 14 and 20 to win. 

Necesitamos los 14 y 20 para ganar.

Necesitamos el 14 y el 20 para ganar.

I'm pretty sure that I'm right and it puts "era". I know that "solía ser" is even more accurate than "era".

Hi there, 

I have a question about the final sentence of the exercise. Why does 'hasta que' invoke the subjunctive here when the action is in the past? Thanks.

Answer given : Estoy vendiendo . My answer marked wrong was : yo estoy vendiendo. Is that just because I wrote yo and not Yo ? If so  that seems rather harsh.

This lesson is too long and too confusing. It should be broken up into 6 separate lessons to allow to handle one meaning at a time.

Accent should be on the a in cuál, not the u.

Hello, 

When is a noun regular and when is it irregular?

Nouns that end with an -o or -a are regular and everything else is irregular?

Why is it "fue (indefinido) muy emocionante" but "mis contrincantes eran (imperfecto) muy bueno"?

And why is it "fue muy emocionante" rather than "estaba / estuve muy emocionante"?  There is a lesson entitled "Using estar (not ser) when talking about emotions".

Is there any guidance at all as to which of the accepted placement options is preferred in a given situation? Is the choice totally down to the speaker? Which option is/are most commonly used?

If I understand this right, this conditional tense can be used both for what was possible/probable in the past as well as for what could be/would be for the future?

I am used to seeing this tense in sentences such as

¿Podría llamarme mañana?

Could you call me tomorrow?/ Would you be able to call me tomorrow?
