I should’ve said “Podía ver.. vs veía, do they mean the same thing. Gracias, Shirley.
"I couldn't find her so I left" - I put encontre (with an accent) because it was a completed action. I thought that encontraba would be the past continuous. Am I misunderstanding something?
In the test question, How would you say "I have eaten only fruit for a week."?, the answer was Desde hace una semana solo como fruta.
But I chose Desde hace una semana solo he comido fruta. Why isn't that one correct, given the "have eaten?"
When would you use this vs. the regular imperative? Are they exchangeable or is one preferred over the other under certain circumstances?
"-¿A ________ vamos a ver esta noche? -A Luis y Gerardo."
I wrote 'quién' because I thought the questioner wouldn't necessarily know that they would be seeing more than one person. That answer was marked wrong. Would we normally use the plural when asking about an unknown number of persons?
EDIT: I just looked at the question again and see that there was a hint (which I managed to miss) about which PLURAL to use, but my question about which we would normally use still stands.
Saludos
"Mi amiga Lucía estaba perdida en un desértico" Can we use perderse here and say " Mi amiga Lucía se perdía en un desértico" ?

Excellent having these examples of pleasantries all in one place.
do you think you could give the translation into english of the dictation exercises at the end? - as it would be helpful thanks :)
Hola,
The recorded reading of this exercise has some glitches.
In the second sentence, the speaker has added words, that are not in the written text and in the last sentence some words from the text are not read.
Gracias
