Please check this question. 

When I did this quiz a few minutes ago, I only had the choice of one answer.   It turns out that there were three correct answers so I received partial credit.  I added it to my notebook to look at the question again, but once again it did not offer the ability to check multiple boxes. 

hi team,

I have some questions.

´Es muy agradable porque la vuelta al frío es mucho más amena de esta manera.´ why is mucho being used instead of muy? 
I thought that it will be used to describe ´amena´, an adjective.

´que ocurre a finales de septiembre ´. why is finales the plural being used and without articles ´los´?

Thanks in advance.

In the quiz to find out which level you are, I was marked wrong for putting "hay" instead of "tiene" in the question about the city having a pool. Why is it giving me two different answers now? 

Cuantos animales únicos son de Paraguay? Hay unos animales muy interesante o especial? Cuantos tipos de plantas son únicos a Paraguay? 

I can see how "lugar" might be used to signify: taking "place" (tener lugar) but surely the intent is that the occasion will "occur" rather than being placed somewhere? Would not "ocurrir" be a better verb? Esto ocurrirá entre . . . and why "esta" instead of "esto" or even "este"? It is an "evento", no? 

And "habrá lugar para nuevos creadores"? It's as though "lugar" is being used as an easy substitute for better word choices.

What is IFEMA?

I believe that "escaparate" is like a "vitrina" which is an object, whereas the event, as a "highlight", might be considered to be "el último en moda" or "gran destacado de la moda española".

I feel as though I'm missing the point somehow. Nevertheless, it's a thought-provoking article for vocabulary.

 Why is it  hubo fuegos artificiales when fireworks is plural? Why would it not be hubieron fuegos artificiales? 

Hola,

Would the sentence above still make sense in Spanish if it were reordered thus:

El otro día mi abuela me llamó tres veces.

Saludos,

Colin

Does the verb "costar" always take the preposition "a" when referring to the person OR entity upon which the cost is falling? Here, "los gobiernos" are not people or favorite pets, yet the personal a is apparently indicated. 

The lesson was unclear on whether this sentence structure is colloquial, formal or written only. Kindly elaborate. Regards
