Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hola

I am having difficulty understanding when an answer is simply incorrect and you wouldn't say it in Spanish, and when the answer given is not what Kwiz expects to see.   For example, I wrote 'Cuando fine la leccion' (I can't find the accent!) and it was marked incorrect.  Would it be incorrect to say that in conversation with a Spanish speaker?

Many thanks

One of the options for a mini kwiz question, ""Suspendió el examen, no porque ________ sino porque ese día no se sentía bien." As I understood it, no porque could be used with either subjunctive or indicative and not change the meaning. Why isn't "no porque no iba a estudiar" an option along with the other two examples (which were subjunctive).

What is the indirect object pronoun for

A Javier ya a Sara ____

I am a bit confused here. Below are two responses which I got wrong. In both cases the "hint" is that it is a "future idea". So why should one of them be indicative and the other subjunctive? "Even if you don't want to" I put in the subjunctive because there seemed to be a bit of doubt, and that was marked wrong. "Even if you do extra hours" I put in the indicative because it seemed that that was definitely going to happen.

I think this is a very complicated and nuanced piece of grammar so I would appreciate some help, thank you.

PS I tried to include a screenshot of my answers but the system wouldn't let me.

Why the "a" in "se llama a Honduras la Republica" . . . ?

Whenever I answer a fill in the blank question with anything other than que or quien(es) it is marked wrong. The multiple choice seem to work fine.

I'm reassured to see that even Mexican reporters sometimes conjugate their verbs incorrectly.
