In my opinion, the correct answer should be era. I have never seen sería used instead. Please assist.

I wrote, La pantilla hizo huelga, but it was marked wrong, and the correct answer was El personal hizo huelga. Isn't la pantilla the same as el personal? 

¡Gracias!

Hello,

I noticed that oler seems to be sometimes built with the preposition "a" before introducing the smell of something, such as in:

Tú hueles a perfume fresco. 

or

Las galletas huelen a chocolate.

So I thought it was used in the meaning of "smelling like something", when the subject themselves smells like something. But then I also noticed it in ¿Vosotros oléis a pollo quemado?".

So is the "a" used rather when the smell has no article? What is the rule (if any)?

Thank you!

The question is “where is.   “ not “is there” surely the answer is está but you marked this as wrong

I wish it was better explained when to use this tense instead of just giving examples 

I had a question on a kwiz that was marked "nearly" or "almost there"  

Aquel restaurante, ________ me recomendó Alberto, tiene unos postres exquisitos.That restaurant, that Alberto recommended, has some exquisite desserts.
el cual was "correct"que was "nearly"
In the question and answer just below mine, an answer says that que and el cual are interchangable.  Why was this answer not just marked correct?  How do we know which one to use to get "correct" answers?  Does the "nearly" count against me?
