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? 

Could I say "era" instead of "fue" as it is a part of description? 

In the test question: Después de mucho uso, la vela de cera ____doblada. I used “es” vs “está” as a bent over candle seems to be a permanent condition. Wouldn’t “es” be correct in this sentence also? Thanks

1.Yo ___ vivo en _______ española, de Madrid.

2. ¿Cómo  ___________ tú?

3.Nosotros _____son________ estudiantes de ingles.

4.Santiago y Daniel           son               italianos.

5.Mi padre  ___ tiene ________ 70 años.

6.Ellas ___ viven ___________ de Brasil.

7.Tú ________ cubano, ¿no?

8.Tú y yo  ________ de Cabanatuan.

9.Yo y Pamela ___________ filipinas.

10.Gladys y Gina  ___ vivo _______ en Nueva Ecija.

Two sentences from today's lessons for me:

1. ?Vosotras pudisteis reservar ese hotel tan barato?

2. Lo he visto a él primero, y después de ella.

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?
