Am I correct in understanding that with bueno/malo, putting it before the noun creates more emphasis?
Like " mi padre es un hombre bueno." -My father is a good man.
"Mi padre es un buen hombre." -My father is a [really] good man.
“Maria told us there was a meeting at 4”
hubo is incorrect here, but I thought with a set time it became ‘hubo’? What am I missing?
Re: Sentence above:
No, no me gusta la paella.No, I do not like paella.
In the lesson above, I was surprised to hear how the word "paella" was pronounced. I had never heard that pronunciation. My question is, are the letters "ae" considered a diphthong, and if so, what would be its pronunciation?
Thank you and wishing you a great day!

Please could you explain the following:
Los chicos estaban sentados en el borde de la piscina. correct
Los chicos estaban sentando en el borde de la piscina. not correct
The boys were sitting on the edge of the pool.
I am pretty sure that I have been taught to use the gerund rather than than the past participle in this kind of an example.
Many thanks (Mainland Spain)
What would you suggest as the "best" way to approach the lessons in kwizIQ. The initial test recommended B2. Is it best to study only the lessons suggested in the dashboard and trust the system to move me up and also to eventully fill in gaps from lower levels, or to also take tests for the lower levels and review those lessons, sort of jumping around from level to level, topic to topic.
Thanks!
"Ayer hice unas baleadas para mis invitados y les encantó."
Would "encantarón" be more appropriate here, since it is the (plural) baleadas that are being so much enjoyed (that are "enchanting")? Or is it implied that it is the act of making the baleadas (hice unas baleadas) that is enchanting, and therefore the singular, encantó is better here?
