Let's see when you find a good job! -- I think that this could be answered with either form of cuando/cuándo depending on context:

Let's see (at what point in time - cuádo) you find a good job.

Let's see (when (if) you find a good job - cuando)

I chose the latter and was marked wrong.

Your example is:

Could you explain how 'hago' comes to mean 'I am walking.' please.  How would one know?  Is this an idiomatic usage?

Why is pero used and not sino?

Could "No puedo salir hoy sino saldré mañana." be used or would this be incorrect?

Hi Inma,

Just a little question off topic.

In the example;

"Espero que hayáis reservado en el restaurante con antelación."

The preposition used is 'en' before el restaurante. In this sense do they mean 'at the restaurant' or 'in the restuarante'. Are there other prepositions you could use with reservar (like 'con') or is 'en' the standard preposition here.

Many Thanks

By process of elimination, I selected estuvieron as being the correct answer; however, my preference would have been estaban. 

See the example given below:

Mario estaba de camarero en un restaurante.
Mario was working as a waiter in a restaurant.

Here is the question with the answer:

Mis hijos _estuvieron_ de vendedores en una tienda.
My children were working as shop assistants in a store.

My choice:
Mis hijos _estaban_ de vendedores en una tienda.

Would you explain the reason for the answer being the preterite and not the imperfect, please.

Hola Inma,

Just to say that this is a great lesson, and goes a long way to making clear something that I have found very difficult.

Thanks a million. John

I am not able to see the text. I can only play? How can I see the text to read? 

"La" is only used as the feminine for a direct object, correct? So in this example from the lesson the first "her" (se) is the indirect object of "dar" but the the second "her" is a direct object of "ver"? 

Se lo daré cuando la vea.

I will give it to her when I see her.

If the second "her" were an indirect object, it would be "le", right? For example, is this correct?

Se lo daré cuando le hable.
I will give it to her when I talk to her.

Thank you!

Me too.
