Hay muchas especies DE animales

Falta la DE, ¿no?

It seems I need to add more detail, so:

The drop-down menu for this question on forming the plural of nouns that end in -e gives four possible answers, none of which includes “de” after “especies”.

¿________ estás viendo en la tele?

I used "Cuál" thinking that what's on television is a limited, although large, selection. Like the example: "Cuál es tu flor favorita".

Why is "Qué" used here?

10:00

Correct me please in the video below at 10:00 she says, Se te olvido el nombre. The name forgot you?

Is this a way of accidental as well, something accidently forgot itself to you?

Ser or Estar

Hello, please would you explain why the verb SER is used in the sentence "la comida del restaurante era mala". I'm confused which rule is used to trigger SER rather than ESTAR,

Thanks

Questions on memory

Are these two statements correct?

With "something is brought to mind" you have to omit the "a".

With "something reminds me that ..." you swap the "a" with "que".

Also, I didn't understand this part "something reminds me of what...", using "lo que" for "what"

What you mean with this?

Logrando de 100% para la nivel a1

Yo pienso que nunca alcanzaré el porciento de 100% en la nivel a1. Con solo una error pierdo veinte puntos. Necesitaba 4 horas a lograr la diamante aunque sólo tuve los más triviales errores en a1.

2nd example above is 'Cuanto menos te vea, mejor'

Explanation not a great matchThis is the sentence and hint for it talking about ongoing action in the past:Mi abuelo nunca ________ con la ventana abierta.My grandfather never slept with the window open.(HINT: Refers to an ongoing action in the past.)
When you click on 'discuss this' the explanation talks about past in general vs. specific time in the past, not much of a help to understand the ongoing action bit. For me it sounds a lot like repeated action/habit anyway.
Cheers, ALEX
