On all the other sites that I have read, you conjugate the verb in the correct tense when using desde. Can you please clarify this for me? I read in the comments that the tendency is to use the present tense, but why do none of the other sites say this?

Would be great to have another column in the table above with example sentences, or just the verb in action.

I know e.g. how to use "doler" -> me/te/etc. duele, but I don't know it for e.g. "caer bien".

That way I wouldn't need to change the tab and tell ChatGPT to write down the examples.

How is this given as 1-check correct answer when the question is of asking HER to take the writer home and "Le voy a pedir que me lleve a casa" translates to "I'm going to ask YOU to take me to ... " ?

Hace mucho frío en Canadá. 

I don't understand why " mucho" is used here.

There is a hole in your explanation.

You say: 

"In sentences where the indirect object is represented by "a + pronoun", and it is at the beginning of the sentence...."

but you do not explain what happens if "a + pronoun" is at the end of the sentence.

Is the indirect object pronoun required or optional in that case?

eg: Can "Me lo ha comprado a mí." be written as "lo ha comprado a mí."?

The phrase: y así devolver a esas personas un poco de su ayuda en el pasado.

I can't figure out from the literal tx whether the "de" should be "por":

y así devolver a esas personas un poco por su ayuda en el pasado.

If the intent is thank the older generation for their past help, surely "por" is more appropriate, no? Or does "de" somehow imply "for"?

I've read so many times about the difference between these tenses but It's like banging my head against a wall. "el taxi LLEGÓ veinte minutos tarde y el taxista ERA muy antipático. The taxi driver was unfriendly in the imperfect tense in the same taxi that arrived late in the preterite tense. This is so difficult. 

In the statement:  "Nosotros solemos comer en casa de mis padres los domingos."

Why don't we use "la casa de mis padres"?

Thanks.

I think I read in one of the lessons that decir was used to describe briefer statements, while contar was used when statements were more extensive or detailed.  Would it also be correct to say "Me contó que solo era cuestión de tiempo..."?

"Why did you tell Luisa......" seems to me to need the indefinite object pronoun as in "¿Por qué le habéis dicho a Luisa...." but this answer is marked as incorrect. Why? Isn't it actually the correct way to say this part of the sentence even though I haven't gotten to a lesson about these pronouns?
