What is wrong with "Teníamos que usar cascos de protección" . I have heard many people use "usar" for to wear. 

In the tip it says - Unlike in English where as if is often followed by a past tense in the indicative, in Spanish como si can never be followed by a tense in the indicative or El Presente de Subjuntivo, or El Pretérito Perfecto Subjuntivo.  But there is a C1 lesson that is about using como si followed by the indicative.  Is this tip incorrect, or am I missing something?

I have noticed that many questions are unanswered. Inma's responses were always very informative and greatly appreciated. So I was wondering if she will be back.

For the final section (i.e.,  "to enjoy the evening") the hint was "disfrutar (de)". I do not understand the significance of "de" as a hint for that segment of the sentence. Why was "(de)" part of the hint?  I was completely thrown off by that "hint".

I thought that Os was the pronoun for vosotros in this lesson so now I am confused how to use Os since it is not used in Mexico and the lesson did not explain it.  I appreciate your help with this

1. Instead of "para que seamos más felices", could we also say "para ser más felices"? - because the subject is the same in the two clauses?

2. With "Ojalá", you point us towards the lesson Using ojalá + the present subjunctive to express hope (El Presente de Subjuntivo) - which illustrates the use of the *present* subjunctive (when expressing a *future* idea). However, perhaps it would be worth emphasising that in this particular writing exercise ("Carmen"), the *imperfect* subjunctive has to be utilised because the speaker is not really referring to the future?

3. You give "al cual que podemos transformar con los pensamientos" as a possible answer, but should the "que" not be removed? - (or if it is permissible, then you should really mention that in the lesson Using preposition a and de + el que, la que, los que, las que = to/of/from/about which/who (relative pronouns) ).

4. (Something very trivial !) > 'Nuestro' has lost its "r" in the Kviziq answer given as "Todos podemos cambiar nuesto modo de pensar".

For these three examples, wouldn't it be:

¿Tú no te sientes nada por ella?

Vosotros os sentís un gran amor por la naturaleza.

Él se siente una gran alegría.

I continue to take tests on this lesson but am not given credit for correct answers up to 100%. Please assist me. Thank you.

Using an online translator to translate "Then it can be demonstrated that the statement is true."

I get "Entonces se puede demostrar que la afirmación es verdadera."

In the English translation it is optional whether you say "it can be demonstrated" or "one can demonstrate".

Is this the same construct as the one covered in this lesson? If so, should there be examples of it above? If not, is there a lesson that covers this one?

Thank you!
