question said I was wrong when I wasn'tEsta ________ mi antigua escuela.This used to be my old school.(HINT: Conjugate irregular “ser” in the imperfect past/El Pretérito Imperfecto. Example: "ella tenía" = she had/used to have)

Esta solía ser mi antigua escuela.

I'm pretty sure that I'm right and it puts "era". I know that "solía ser" is even more accurate than "era".

Not B1 subject rather C1

I think this lesson should be in a C1 category as it is very subtle. I just cannot see the difference in the meaning of the first two sentences,,,,estoy&esté. Maybe you could provide better examples or explanations on this point of grammar

Con el no me divierto. Why isn't the explanation logical?

I get it. Le is not the correct answer for a reason, but not the reason given in the lesson examples. Just because the preposition "con" is always followed by a subject pronoun is insufficient explanation. It implies that "con" was already a given, but it was not. I believe that "le" is an indirect object/pronoun and therefore not correct.

How would you say "I'm going to ask her to take me home"?

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 ... " ?

Imperfecto and indefinido

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.

Why is there subjunctive when the statment is a fact or is true as far as the speaker is concerned

Why does Aunque SEA por uno minutos or Aunque ESTEMOS encerrados use subjunctive?

No hint as to familiar or formal "you"

Where in this question is there a clue as to whether to use formal or informal second person singular? Two possible correct answers without a hint!
