I was marked wrong for using “habían” when the sentence was something like “habían muchos mensajes …”. If “había” is used for one thing or many things when would you use “habían”? It sounds more natural to say “habían muchos mensajes …”

Past Continuous

Yesterday I was visiting my friend Jimena.

The best answer is:

Ayer estuve visitando a mi amiga Jimena.

Is it incorrect to say estaba visitando OR visitaba ?

I can't find any lessons on the differences.

Gracias

How would this differ for latin America?

At the top of my page it says: Note that this is a Europe focused lesson. Your active focus is Latin America

Obviously Latin America covers a huge range of countries/dialects but generally speaking how would this differ in Latin America?

Thanks!

usar las tarjetas, prevenir contagios

Hola Inma,

".... usar las tarjetas, ..... prevenir contagios"

can you, please, explain why do you use the article in the first case but not in the second? I thought articles in Spanish are used when talking in general, which apply in both cases (I think).

Muchas gracias
