I know a lot of people have brought up the fact that seguir + present participle and continuar + present participle have the same meaning, so they selected one answer which was marked as incorrect. I realize that the question specified that multiple answers could be correct but the fact that so many people were confused by this makes me think it wasn’t very clear. Maybe you should instead say “Select all of the correct answers” instead. Anyway, I do have an actual question - is there any subtle difference between the two, or any situations in which you would use one over the other? Does it vary by country or region? Just curious. Muchísimas gracias, y que tenga un buen fin de semana!
The title of the page is: forming el Imperfecto Progresivo con estar + gerundio but the next paragraph jumps to the Pretérito Imperfecto:
“In the case of El Pretérito Imperfecto, this is how the progressive tense is formed.”
Is the pretérito imperfecto and the imperfecto progresivo the same tense, just a different name?
Thank you.

The word "any" can have a nuance of uncertainty.
"We opened our doors to those who wanted to come in."
--> We opened our doors to anyone who wanted to come in.
"People who booked in advance may go to this desk."
--> Anyone who has booked in advance may go to this desk.
It's not always appropriate, but could help sometimes.
I thought gustar was modified by the thing being liked (vs the person/people doing the liking), but when I chose gustan for liking the horse races I was marked wrong.
I don't understand what the following excerpt from the lesson is supposed to mean:
Es + bueno [adjective]Está + bien [adverb]
Can you please clarify what this means in prose rather than abreviated notation?
Question: ¡Estén atentos! means: Pay attention!
I don't see anywhere on the lesson that explains this usage. It seems like it's being used as a command/order.
Hi there, in this lesson there are a couple of errors,
In the introduction the sentence "This affects to all subjects" is a little confusing, I think that the "to" has found it's way in.
Secondly, there is no mention of the removal of the letter "i" for the ellos conjugation of the verb. Both examples show that it is gone, but there isn't a note in the lesson.
Thanks
How would the the Lawless Spanish staff recommend that learners practice conjugations?
When using "a tan solo de que", is the verb in the subordinate clause in the subjunctive?
