Dijeron que nos pagarían las horas extra trabajadas cuando ________ el mes.
They said they'd pay our overtime when it was the end of the month.
terminase
terminaba
terminó
termine

This is another quiz where one or more answers are correct is not noted.
His family's situation saddens them. : ___ la situación de su familia.
How to say "something bores/annoys/saddens you"

Gracias.
I initially wrote 'A lo mejor desconoces su existencia' instead of 'puede que desconozcas su existencia' and it was marked incorrectly, could you please kindly explain why?
Can you also please explain why 'tal vez desconozcas' and 'quizás desconozcas' are incorrect, if this is the case?
It says that I got this wrong, but I don't understand why (I put hubiese instead of habría)
Si no hubieran insistido tanto yo no los ________ a cenar.If they hadn't insisted so much I wouldn't have invited them for dinner.habría invitadohubiese invitadoRegarding "After I tried so hard...", couldn't "Despúes de que me esforzara tanto..." be another acceptable answer?
I think this might be more common in written Spanish?
Saludos

Hola Inma,
Why do you use the infinitive endurecer insted of the sunjuctive? I thought both se empezara a and endurecer are attached to the Sería bueno que.
