Hi J.A2Kwiziq community member
Can you help me to understand more about this tense of el pretérito imperfecto? It means to use this tense for the past but it’s still happening now?

Use of vestirEllos se ________ con ropa de marca. They wear branded clothes.(HINT: Conjugate "vestir" in El Presente)
I understand that “vestir” needs to be used because it is a transitive verb requiring a direct object, but why is “se” used which I believe would indicate that it is a reflexive verb?

Question about use of gustar followed by reference to a person

I am confused about the translation for a section of this exercise. That section is:  "I like King Baltazar". For this, I wrote "A mí me gusta al Rey Baltasar", but the corrected answer/translation was presented as "A mí me gusta el rey Baltasar". I thought the preposition "a" needed to be inserted after use of gusta if the reference was to a person (in this case "rey Baltasar" --- lower case in "rey" notwithstanding). Apparently, I am wrong. Could you please explain why "el" and not "al" was correct?

How would we express wish and feeling about events in the past?

For example,

"It bothers us that you never studied Spanish", or

"I'm so happy that your boyfriend went to Harvard".

"I wish we had met sooner"

Would we use the imperfect subjunctive?

Thanks.

Is translation for Number 12 incorrect?

Hi, I think the translation for 12 is wrong, it's not saying anything about being "key":

In Nicaragua there are amazing islands and keys in the Caribbean Sea.

Estoy enamorándome?

Can one also say “Quizás estoy enamorándome” instead of “Quizás me estoy enamorando”? Which is more appropriate or spoken?

English interpretations

I have to comment again on English word choices. In the English interpretation of Yo hago la comida por las mañanas, wouldn't "I make" be more appropriate than "I prepare?" Because wouldn't "yo preparo" be the Spanish for "I prepare?"
