Confusing sentence

Los adultos compran este calendario para los niños porque tienen chocolates y son deliciosos.

Tienen is plural while calendario is singular. So who have the chocolates? The adults or the children? Neither makes sense.

This sentence is funny in a way because you could read as the children have chocolates and the children are delicious. I guess the adults buy the calendar to lull the children, to capture them and eat them. Yum, delicious children:-)

Isn't Quiz ambiguous?

"Hurry, Run!" Can I interpret "Hurry" as Command, too? If so, none of the options is appropriate.

frío noun/adjectiveEsta primavera ________ frío. This spring it's cold
My answer was "está"The correct answer was "hace"
In the above question, I think both answers should be considered correct:está (in this case frío is an adjective)and hace (in this case frío would be a noun)
Why am I wrong?

No, es broma.

¡Hola a todos!

Thank you for this helpful exercise! :-)

I'm curios how to translate "No, es broma"? I mean, google tells me it means; "I'm kidding", and I understand that from the context - but is there maybe a comparison to an English equivalent of this expression? :-)

¡Muchas gracias!

Why the imperfect is used and not the preterit in:"puesto que era mi cumpleaños "

Hello,

RE: Kwizbot puesto que era mi cumpleaños You puesto que fue mi cumpleaños

I was wondering why the imperfect was used here and not the preterit since the birthday was yesterday, which is a definite period in time and is now complete.

Thank you.

Nicoel
