Dije ________ a la propuesta del jefe.‘Dije ________ a la propuesta del jefe.‘ I said ‘que sí’ and was marked wrong - isn’t that acceptable? I actually thought ‘que’ would be essential here?

In the 2nd question, why is not "has" indicated in the English version?

Wouldn't ¿Crees que has aprobado el examen? be "Do you think you have passed the exam?" I don't know the grammatical tense that applies, but on the face of it, it seems the "have" should be represented in the English.

Also, does Spanish have an equivalent of "do?" I think i read that it does not. In English it is often ommitted, so it's probably ok to not always include it in translations.

Cuando + subjunctive/future tense

Hi, I also have a similar doubt. We are using sere in first example ( When I am older, I will be a doctor) i.e simple future but we are using vayan (subjunctive) in this statement: Tendrán mucho frío cuando vayan a Escocia el próximo diciembre.

Why are we using vayan instead of iran (simple future) here like in first example?

Please help thank you!

Hacíamos vs estudiábamos

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 test question I am not sure why it is escrita?Otra obra famosa es el Cantar de Mio Cid, escrita en el siglo XIII.

I guessed this correctly but when I clicked on the explanation of past participle examples in Spanish it did not explain why it is escrita?

Can someone please explain?

Le ________ en un compromiso. You put him in a difficult situation (HINT: Conjugate the tú form of "poner" in El Presente)

Why would the 'tu' form go into this sentence, is it not talking of 'he' so shouldn't it be the 'el' form - pone?? I get this now...it's 'you' who is doing the 'putting' isn't it. 'He' is the person it is being done to. Spanish is sooooooo confusing sometimes my brain just feels like mush!
