In both sentences, the accented stress on the recording is on the last syllable of the last word. I like to listen to all the sentences without looking and make sure I understand what is said. This pronunciation fools me every time. Why is it not on the penultimate syllable? Is this regional?

Lo with oler?

Can you explain the function of “lo” in Ella lo huele todo? Is it because oler needs an object?

Pretérito vs imperfecto

I chose "Mientras que yo hice la compra" for the mini kwiz which was wrong. But one of the example sentences uses the indefinite: "Su romance fue bonito mientras duró." I guess I'm unclear about why the indefinite was wrong on the kwiz.

Also, for the sense of "mientras" meaning "as long as", could we substitute "si"?

Dolor de

Hola Inma,

The sentence given was "resultados terapéuticos en el dolor de estómago, cuello, espalda y pierna." In the A2 "Everything hurts!" exercise for this week there was a sentence "También, tengo dolor de estómago y de pies," where the "de" was repeated. I rationalised this as being way of saying that I have pain from / of stomach and from / of feet. I can't understand why the "de" isn't repeated in the example above from this B1 exercise.

Can you help please

Saludos

John

Casar vs casarseSi Cristina ________, habría sido muy infeliz. If Cristina had married him, she would have been very unhappy.se hubiera casado con él

Why is hubiera casado con él wrong? The English doesn’t say “if she had gotten married to him”
Thanks, Shirley
