Imperfecto usage1) Why is imperfecto used: Pues que me apetecía . She was feeling like at the moment, not an ongoing feeling no?
2) y entre ellos había una pareja de jóvenes.. Why is the imperfecto used in this aspect? The couple were only there AT that time, it's NOT a habitual or repetitive action that they are there every time shes at the beach?
3) ¡No me lo podía creer! , why use the imperfecto here?
4) Después me di cuenta de que en ese grupo había un hombre haciendo fotos y un chico con un foco. Entonces comprendí que los jóvenes eran modelos y estaban trabajando en una sesión de fotos The imperfecto used is because it's sequential?
5) Estoy segura de que estaban muertos de frío. The models were ONLY cold at that moment, why not "estuvieron muertos de trio"
6) . El solo llevaba un bañador y ella un bikini. Why not just "Llevaron" they don't wear a bikini or beach short every time they go to the beach? Only at that moment for the photo shoot?
Thank You in advance !
Can you give advice/commands in Spanish with the conditional form of deber/tener que?
In this lesson I see:
Si te gustan esos pendientes, deberías comprarlos.If you like those earrings, you should buy them.
Si ellos son los responsables, deberían pagar.
If they are responsible, they should pay.
These are advice/commands.
There is also the other lesson "Si [if] followed by present indicative + main clause [command/request/advise]".
What is the point then of this lesson?
When do you use “de bajo de” versus just “bajo” for under? Also why does lobster not have the definite article? Thanks.
Shouldn't it be 'casas colgandas?' since it is used as an active form as in english 'hanging'?
Why does the use the preterite perfect rather than the simple preterite?
"if you want a sweetie, eat your soup". lol, to me, sweetie is sweetheart, or some other affectionate term. Sweet = caramelo.

No ________ todo el tiempo a nuestro hijo; necesita espacio.
We can't be watching our son all the time; he needs some space.
(HINT: use modal verb "poder" and the verb "vigilar" for to watch)
podemos estar vigilando
podemos estar vigilandolo
Let's see if you folks can explain it in a fashion where it makes some degree of sense. Because based on this, you are wrong.
En la frase, "que si unas almejas", no entiendo porque utilizamos 'si' y no 'son'.
