Lo vs le, regional difference?

The answer says: Pasó dos días sumergido en plena naturaleza sin que nadie lo molestara enviándole mensajes o llamándolo.

Can you also say: Pasó dos días sumergido plena naturaleza sin que nadie le molestara enviándole mensajes o llamándole.

Is this Spain vs Latin America grammar? Also, in general, I thought molestar was an inverted verb like gustar and required "le."

English translation________ parece una muñeca de porcelana. Because of all that make-up she looks like a porcelain doll.De tanto como se maquilla.
Hola, I’m confused about the English translation, which uses the noun make-up (maquillaje in Spanish). However the Spanish uses the verb se maquilla, which I thought means to put on make up (Because of all the makeup she puts on..). Muchas gracias, Shirley.

Structure in Pasado Imperfecto

Hola,

Is it possible to convert this structure into the past tense, as if I was telling a story in the continuous past:

Hacía tres meses que Nuria vivía en California.

Or does this structure only work in the present?

Gracias,
Stuart

Is it better to use "El Pretérito Imperfecto" or the imperfect continuous here?1Vosotros ________ las bebidas mientras nosotros comíamos.You were buying the drinks while we ate.(HINT: Conjugate "comprar" in El Pretérito Imperfecto.)comprabaiscompraréishabéis compradocomprar

Would it not be better to translate this as "Estabais comprando las bebidas mientras comíamos." ?

Has de saber, que ocupan 1.800 metros cuadrados.......

Hola Inma,

I'm not familiar with this construction "Has (Hacer) de."

I have looked it up (WordReference) but can't reconcile the meanings that they provide, with the phrase in this exercise.

Can you help with it please?

Saludos

John

I both love and hate in equal measure that I woke up today to new lessons being posted!! I've been trying to get the elusive 100% for level A2 and then another sneaky lesson arrived. I know language learning is a never ending story, but....
Thanks kwiziq team :-)

Tengo algo que contarte.

Hola,

I understand the sentence above but I am new to using a pronoun with the infinitive of the verb. Is there a lesson that covers this topic? For example, how would you say 'I have something to tell them/you (plural)/him'?

Gracias.

Saludos,

Colin
