Indefinido and imperfecto

I don’t understand why the 2nd sentence (starting “Fue”) uses the indefinido but the 3rd sentence (starting “La lengua” uses the imperfecto. I can’t really see any difference between them and I thought they should both be the imperfecto tense since they refer to something that happened over a long period. Likewise tense choices in the later sentences. Thanks for your help, Tony

La persona con quien fui a la fiesta era mi padre

Greetings everyone
I would like to ask why the correct answer is the option:
La persona con quien fui a la fiesta era mi padre

while the answer

La persona con la que fui a la fiesta era mi padre
is marked as nearly correct when both options are acceptable, according to the lesson above.

English grammar

I think there might be a correction to the English is this sentence:

I've just seen the singer who they gave a prize last year.

I believe it should say:

I've just seen the singer to whom they gave a prize last year.

Querer questionHola. Does "quise" imply that the person is now a dentist and that that was always their intention? The lesson is perfect vs simple past, but I see the English and want to use the imperfect. Siempre __________________ ser dentista. I always wanted to be a dentist

solution to question 1 is wrong?

i think that a better answer to question would be "i am someone who really enjoys doing sports", rather than "i am more someone...". because otherwise it should have been "yo soy mas de hacer deporte"

Ningun vs. Ninguno

Hola,

Thank you for this lesson. I understand that ningun is used before a noun:

"No tengo ningun dinero para ir de compras hoy.";
