The listening practice with the transcript is excellent.  At this level, these are the types of exercises that help the most

Thank you

I put 'en mitad de' and was marked wrong. According to your lesson on that topic they are sinónimos.

Please clarify

Gracias

This is my first lesson at B1, (yay) but it seems to assume i ready know the subjunctive conjugations. Should I just skip it, and wait until I get lessons on the subjunctive?

"Su familia la quiere mucho y, para ser sinceros, ha hecho muchos sacrificios por sus hijos." quote from cloze exercise

I do not understand to whom 'para ser sinceros' refers to.  Does it refer to 'su familia' or Eva, the daughter who made the sacrifices? 

Why is 'sinceros' plural since it refers to a singular noun, either su familia or Eva?

This sentence doesn't make much sense to me.

I understand the need for para in para ser sinceros to mean in order to be sincere, but I am confused as to why sinceros is plural and to whom it refers.

Thank you.

 Using para (and not por) for purpose, goal or objective

When there is no preceding noun, is there a way to use cuyo, cuya?

Por ejemplo: Whose book is this?

Can you use cuyo here, or must you resort to "¿De quién es este libro?"

________ (Busquemos) un apartamento más grande para los cuatro.

Why does this sentence need a subjunctive (as stated in the hint)?

Part of a sentence in the above exercise says "Donde se encerraba a los enemigos del castillo" Should encerraba not be plural i.e. encerraban? Is it singular because " a los enemigos" is indirect? I'm confused. Why not fueron encerrados?

Thanks for explaining, shirley.

Hello, excellent lesson.  We know that "un/una" changes with gender.  Is this true of every number that ends with "un/una"?

Ex:

Vientiún estudiantes, veintiuna camas

Ciento un aguacates, ciento una botellas

Thanks.
