It might be helpful to say that the only thing irregular about the endings (beyond the stem change) is the lack of an i in the third person plural.

reflexive spanish verbs are in the infinitive form when followed by pronoun, but the bot says: "separame: and I said: separarme . Pls explain why?Kwizbot Pero ahora no podría separame de mi "handbike" You pero ahora no podria separarme de mi handbike. I think wizbot is incorrect: from what I have learned so far, and having checked online, reflexive spanish verbs are in the infinitive form when followed by pronoun. Also per Spanishdict.com they say: “Reflexive pronouns are attached to the end of affirmative commands. For compound verbs like the present progressive, the pronoun can either be attached to the end of the infinitive or present participle or go before the conjugated verb.” Thank you! Nicole

Perdona, ________ antes fue una tontería.

With the above question, "lo de" was said to be the answer. However, there is a conjugated verb in the clause afterward, "fue". Why isn;t the correct answer "lo de que"? With a conjugated verb, the explanation says to use "lo de que".
