I'm confused about Kwiziq vocabulary choices. The words in quotes are those presented as correct whereas as those in bold were the words I chose in my translation.
Why "alguna" instead of cualquier? [ ... do you have any color and style preferences...]
why "rosa" instead of rosado? [... with my pink dress...]
Why "voy a" una boda instead of voy a ir una boda? [I'm going to a wedding...]
Thank you.

Why is it 'como se llama' or 'como se llama usted' - not 'como te llama'?
How to I remove Latin America lessons from Dashboard?
customer: quiero un café.
me: qué tamaño?
customer: pequeño por favor.
(the coffee shop in question has creative names for its sizes, so I often hold up a cup to clarify. :p)
me, holding up a small cup: cómo esto?
my understanding is that since the phrase "like this?" doesn't contain a noun after "this," then "esto" should be used. but technically we've been talking about "el tamaño," so is "este" correct instead? I've never been able to find something explain this exact scenario. 😅
Silvia y Inma, you make a great team. I love this section of the website and wish it popped up twice a week!
Besos . . .

Inma's answer below on time clauses and manner clauses got my attention and I looked at other web sites to learn about the types of adverbial clauses. This is a rich topic with lots to explore. It would be great if you could do a lesson on Kwiziq on the types of adverbial clauses.
the lesson is simplified which is good but it would be more useful to elaborate the uses of the tense.
I now understand why I am having such trouble with this section, but please clarify. Which form, Mainland or Latin American, are you counting as correct?
