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.

I have always wanted to be a dentist.

Why isn’t this considered an action that started in the past and is still ongoing?

Exercise: the best concert ever

Hello,

one of the sentences to be translated was: They were even better than in my dreams.

The best answer is: Eran aún mejor que en mis sueños.

Why isn't it "mejores" here? "Eran aún mejores que en mis sueños."

Thanks!

Consider "review" rather than "revise"Be careful not to confuse this with acabar to express "to have just done something". See this lesson to revise this:

Unless this is a britishism I am unfamiliar with, I think you mean "review" instead of "revise".

Muchas gracias !

Te llamas Alan

In a quiz the question: How would you say "His name is Alan"? was marked incorrect when I answered: Te llamas Alan. It looks like this is correct. Am I missing something_

subjunctive and known/unknown information

Why do we use the subjunctive here when something is unknown, but when we use 'aunque' it is the other way around? By that, I mean that we only use the subjunctive when the information is shared and the indicative is used to introduce new information.

Además, Ken Follet la usó

In the test, we are asked to translate 'Also, Ken Follet used it (to write his literary works)'. At first, I translated it as 'Ken Follet la usa', but then I noticed I was being specifically asked to construct a sentence using 'se'. Assuming a passive sentence was required, I put 'Además, se usó por Ken Follet', but was corrected with 'Además, Ken Follet la usó'. Surely, there is something not quite right here?
