Telling us to use the verb form "emocionarse" was misleading?

The hint: "to be excited = emocionarse" suggested to me that "Me emociono saber que Zoe..." would be the right form, but no - the correct answer was:"Me emociona saber que Zoe ..."

I have the impression that both versions are correct, are they?

Quedar instead of Estar?

Hola todos

I have been told that it is very common to use 'quedar' instead of 'estar' to indicate where a place is, for instance 'Mi casa queda cerca del parque.'

I have read quedar used in this way, and have seen it in some dictionaries. However, I don't think I've ever heard anyone say it to me, which is odd as I must have used sentences where it might come up hundreds of times on the many occasions I've been navigating neighbourhoods during visits to Spain. Could it be more common in Latin American Spanish?

Can you clarify?

Saludos

Correction suggestionI belive the "i.e" in the first sentence below (and anywhere else you use it) should have two periods, as in "i.e.". It is also customary to italicize it since it is refering to a Latin phrase.

"All yo-go verbs in Spanish, i.e verbs where the yo form ends in -go in El Presente, take that same stem to form El Presente de Subjuntivo and keep it all the way through the conjugation. However, the El Presente de Subjuntivo endings are the same as regular -er and -ir verbs endings."

We gave the boys some sandwiches.

In an A2 test the answer to "We gave the boys some sandwiches." was "nosotros dimos a los niños unos bocadillos".

I´m still learning indirect object pronouns, why doesn't this have "les" before dimos?

Capitalisation in the test

Hello! I wrote: 'tengo viente años' to say that I'm 20 years old. It marked me as incorrect, but the only difference I can see between my answer and the correct one is capitalisation. Is there something I'm missing?
