This seems like a very basic lesson, I was surprised to find this in the B1 lesson.
Hi there! One of the quizzes asks for the correct phrase in the following sentence:
Las aceitunas ________ en septiembre. (The olives must be harvested in September.)
Would it not be possible to use "han de recolectar" here instead of "deben ser recolectadas"?

Desde hace una semana solo estoy comiendo fruta.
Why is this wrong? I’ve only been eating fruit for a week
Verb translation. According to my Spanish dictionary, the verb "colgar" means to hang whereas "upload" is cargar. I used the latter verb, because the sentence is "... I will upload a photo on my social networks." Why was my response marked incorrect?
Pati Ecuamiga
I can't seem to get it right.
No me queda mucho dinero ________ tengo para dos cervezas más.
How come this should be 'pero'. I thought it was a substitute. First clause is negative and replaced by another, positive clause, hence I thought 'sino que'. Can one please point me to the critical part that would make me understand the difference? I feel so dumb.
Thank you in advance!
En este caso para yo, el contexto no es importante.
En la programa, se dice,
"No podemos escuchar bien = We can't hear well." .
Siempre pensaba que escuchar quiere decir "to listen" y oír quiere decir "to hear".
Por favor lo explícame la diferencia.
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.
2nd example above is 'Cuanto menos te vea, mejor'
Why subjunctive?
Why is this tense called indefinite. How do I know whether to use the indefinite rather than the perfect?
