Nosotros debíamos jugar al fútbol sin rodilleras

‘We had to play football without kneepads’ - in English we say shin pads (UK) or shin guards (US). Knee pads are what you use for skating. SpanishDict is telling me shin guards are ‘espinilleras’, but I have no knowledge about about which is correct/if one word may be used in a certain country and another elsewhere etc

Can we use this with "un@(s) de"?

Good lesson. I like this concept of partitives.

Can we use "uno de" in place of "alguno de" to mean "one of"? Or is "alguno" only used in this context in Spanish?

Also, is there a list of partitives that use "de", such as "cada uno de" or "pocos de"?

Thanks!

Francamente o francomente o francemente?

This word seems to change all the time! I had the wrong answer so next time it came up in a question I put the answer it gave me last time and it said wrong and gave the answer as the one I chose in the first place! This has happened several times. How and why does this word change?

Having difficulty with this

I know this lesson gives a short explanation about what this topic is but I feel like it does not do a good job of truly explaining the subject it just gives examples. So would you be able to explain to me how to actually talk about habits in the past?
