Suggestion, change “new” to “old”Mi madre necesita que yo ________ mi falda nueva. My mother needs me to darn my new skirt.(HINT: Conjugate "zurcir" in El Presente Subjuntivo.) Hi, this is an odd sentence; new items don’t need mending. Old items do. Consider changing “new”to “old” (skirt). Saludos, Shirley. zurza

almost not understandable

Well, I guess if that's how they speak in Argentina, I won't be visiing there soon, if ever. Apart from the yeismo, the speaker articulated more through her nose than through the mouth (French-style) making her words almost impossible to understand. Good, clear Spanish is my aim.

Translation of TonteríaNos enfadamos por una tontería.We got angry at each other over (because of) a trifle.
At first when I saw Trifle in the translation I thought of a pudding (postre). Ha ha. I don’t think trifle is the correct word to use for the translation of tontería in this example. Perhaps use ‘something trivial / trivial thing’

question said I was wrong when I wasn'tEsta ________ mi antigua escuela.This used to be my old school.(HINT: Conjugate irregular “ser” in the imperfect past/El Pretérito Imperfecto. Example: "ella tenía" = she had/used to have)

Esta solía ser mi antigua escuela.

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

Quiz question En los ochenta, yo ________ vestir como Madonna. In the eighties I wanted to dress like Madonna. (HINT: Conjugate "querer" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.) The phrase "en los ochenta" looks strange to me, but apparently it is correct! If I had been guessing, I would have guessed "las ochentas".

"Susana nos habia pedido..."?

Shouldn't "Susana nos habia pedido..." translates not as "Susana has asked us...", but rather "Susana had asked us..."?

question about using cientos/as

Your explanation says that whole hundreds AFTER 200 agree with the noun it precedes, but doesn´t 100 also?

I.e. hay cientas diez chicas?

If not what would be the correct answer?
