https://spanish.kwiziq.com/my-languages/spanish/tests/take/4180465 This excercise is not translated to spanish
Fui el primera en llegar a la meta. ?I was the first (one) to reach the finish line.
No se entra simplemente en Mordor.
I think my translation of Boromir's famous line is probably ok, but whether any Spanish speakers talk like that might be a question.
is it not more common, due to the context to say "voy a preparar los documentos" vs" Mis documentos" in Castilian Spanish?
Why did Kwiziq insert "una" in front of "astrónoma" but not in front of "miembro"?

A good, easy read, very well-narrated
I understand except for the last word "queráis ". I was expecting to see " queréis " for the "you want" at the end.
Looking up queráis, I see that it is the present subjunctive and have read that it is used if there is a change in the subject.
I can't see a change in subject. The first part of the sentence has "you" as subject ans so does the second part.
I expect that I've missed something crucial here so please help me to understand.
Thanks.
I was just watching "¿Quién mato a Sara?" (takes place in Mexico) where a security guard in a parking lot tells a character waiting in his car to meet with someone "Estamos por cerrar". The English subtitles render it as something like "We're about to close."
Would saying "estamos para cerrar" also make sense in this context? Would the meaning be different, and if so how? Is it a regional/dialect thing? Does the nuance have to do with the implication of intent, as was generalized in another post, or is it more complex...?
I'm confused by this pair of expressions... they seem like they want to be different and yet the meanings seem confusingly close... I know language isn't always logical, but I'm just trying to get a feel for it. Thank you in advance...
Why the "a" in "se llama a Honduras la Republica" . . . ?
