Translation wrongI saw this in one of my progress tests:
Ella no cree que vosotros ________ eso por ella.She doesn't believe you did that for her.
The correct answer is "Ella no cree que vosotros hiciereis eso por ella." I understand this is the future simple subjunctive. Is the translation wrong? i.e. should it be, 'She doesn't think you will do that for her?'

"Estoy haciendo..."

Why does the speaker sound like he is making some kind of extra sound before saying the first word "estoy"? I listed to it over and over and it sounds so strange to me - like a "y" or "e" sound before he says "estoy". Am I missing or misunderstanding something? Thanks!

When to use the "Personal a" with multiple people

Hello Inma, I don't think you understood my question earlier.

I was wondering why there isn't the "personal a" before each name in the example. There is only one a in the example with 2 names. Why isn't there 2 personal a, before each name? In all your examples, the sentences only have one person in each of your examples. I know I've seen before an A before each person/pet when there are 2 or more in a sentence.

Why is it "a Paula y Cristina" and not "a Paula y a Cristina" ?

Using double pronouns with El Imperativo

1. Ese dibujo parece bueno. Enséñamelo, por favor.

2. Ese dibujo parece bueno. Me lo enseñas, por favor.

What is the difference between these two options? Why is the second one incorrect? To me they both sound acceptable. Thanks

indirect object pronoun

I was marked wrong for answering "Nosotros LES damos juguetes a nuestros hijos" instead of just "damos" I thought that the indirect object pronoun HAD to be used. What am I missing? When should I be using it?

Thanks.

Con tal de queEl banco te presta más dinero ________ un interés del 5 por ciento. The bank would lend you more money provided you pay a 5 per cent interest.
The bank WOULD lend, therefore should this not be conditional eg El banco te PRESTARÍA más dinero?
