The question asked for imperfect for Ir with subjects of "tu y Marcos", and I put "ibais". This was counted wrong and the correct answer given as "iban". I could understand both being counted as correct, but why is "ibais" incorrect?
The vocabulary and long sentences should make this type of story A2 or even higher. Eamples, bodegon to mean still life and lienzo. I wish there were some easier real A1 stories for me to start with. I either have to forget them or spend a lot time
Why is “hubiera (formal) mentido” wrong. What is the hint for using hubieras?
The word "any" can have a nuance of uncertainty.
"We opened our doors to those who wanted to come in."
--> We opened our doors to anyone who wanted to come in.
"People who booked in advance may go to this desk."
--> Anyone who has booked in advance may go to this desk.
It's not always appropriate, but could help sometimes.
Why does sentence need A at the beginning? (The other examples don’t have it).
Thanks very much

I picked the wrong answer here because in all of the examples given in the lesson, the verb dar agrees with the subject of the sentence. That wasn't the case here, I assume because this sentence is written in a passive form. The subject of this sentence is "meeting" (singular) whereas the correct verb form given is "han dado." I assume the "han" agrees with the "they" who reached an agreement?
This is the third time in the past month that I'm finding loaded leftist political sentences in the quizes. You guys should really leave politics out of the learning environment. It's a huge turnoff. It makes you guys look very ignorant and extremist. One sentence for example was celebrating socialism. Very inappropriate to say the least.
Question on why the final bit "we were a little dizzy" should be conjugated in imperfect rather than simple past. I imagined that one moment in time when "we were dizzy" should be the opposite. I get that estar is often conjugated in imperfect, but this seems a lot like one moment that's no longer taking place, encapsulated in the past, not continuing and not one that lasted long (given that "we were *a little* dizzy.") Help please?
