La vendimia comienza en el antiguo Egipto. Por qué no el pretérito comenzó?

You say, “ Other conjugations of crear and creer coincide in their spelling. Have a look a the following table; for crear it is the present indicative and for creer it is the present subjunctive. ”

Is there not still a difference in the yo form so that one is yo creo and the other yo crea?

Hola Inma,

"se originó en la región de Río de la Plata" 

My answer was:

fue originado en la región de Río de la Plata. 

No entiendo la diferencia.  ¿Me podrías explicar?

Saludos

Ελισάβετ

In the example below, why is it 'aprovechó' and not 'se aprovechó de'? It seems quite a negative context to me, and the context even seems to be leading us towards using the reflexive form by saying 'el muy egoísta'. 

Rafa, [being] such an idiot, took advantage of the moment to break up with me. : Rafa, el muy egoísta, ___ la ocasión para romper conmigo.

For these three examples, wouldn't it be:

¿Tú no te sientes nada por ella?

Vosotros os sentís un gran amor por la naturaleza.

Él se siente una gran alegría.

is there supposed to be a mini quiz at the end of this? because nothing is showing up. 

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.

Is "Todos mis amigos hacen las compras aquí"  a possible alternative to "Todos mis amigos compran aquí"?

"Oviedo is a city in the north of Spain" was missing from the translation?

I get this message a lot :
