Spanish language Q&A Forum

Hi, there are two questions on the quiz that I don't understand: (1) "Esos chicles son mentolados pero  ____  no tienen sabor" and (2) "Esos estudiantes van a viajar a Asia pero ________ no tienen dinero." Kwiziq is saying that the correct demonstrative pronoun in both cases is "estos." However, my understanding was that demonstrative pronouns should vary in gender with the noun they refer to, unless it isn't known or we are referring to statement, idea, or situation. In 1, the noun being referred to is "chicles," which is a masculine plural noun, so the demonstrative pronoun should be "estes," not estos, correct? With 2, I understand that we may not know the gender of the group, so we use esto. Can you explain?

Maribel and I used to study English at the language school. The correct answer is noted as: Maribel y yo hacíamos inglés en la escuela de idiomas. But that does not make any reference to the studying.  Shouldn't it be: Maribel y yo estudiábamos inglés en la escuela de idiomas.

Thank you for the explanation in advance.

In this example: 

La familia de María está contenta.  María's family are happy. [U.S: is happy]

Está is singular, so wouldn't it also be translated as "is"?

En la frase "me quedo comtemplándola por horas", debería ser "contemplándola".

Hello Kwiziq team, 

In this translation exercise, would using the verb llevar in the following sentence make sense? ''Tercero, llevaré menos tiempo en mi teléfono.'' instead of ''Tercero, pasaré menos tiempo en mi teléfono'' 

Many thanks

why do we use preterito perfecto compuesto for 'I saw' and 'I found', i thought 'i found' would be encontre and 'I saw', yo vi not he contrado and he visto. thanks!
