¿Qué te parece utilizar "podrías pedir" en lugar de "podrías preguntar" en la segunda pregunta de este ejercicio?

The speaker said dió rather than dio. 

Just a tad confusing although it probably happens in everyday speech.

Your "Exercise" has a spelling mistake in the English translation of El ejercicio es complicado.  Should read the exercise is complicated. 

Buenas días 

I understand Afectar is a transitive verb, which requires a direct object (without a preposition).

I saw these sentences:

La nueva ley no afecta al pequeño empresario.

La falta de oxígeno afecta al cerebro.

I'm curious to know why these two sentences use a preposition "a".

Muchas gracias

Can this also be translated as:  Va (usted) a salir a comprar pan esta mañana?  If not why not?

I don't understand why instead you'd use:  Usted sale a comprar pan esta mañana?

Thanks, Lia

te recomendaría que exploraras las ruinas en la selva y disfrutar la naturaleza 

In this phrase why isn't the second verb following recomendar also a subjunctive?

Also I'm not sure why we would say tesoro español o tesoro gótico but tesoro maya is invariable

Gracias

This is a nice, practical exercise for those who go to the gym with use of preterite and imperfect. The vocabulary is specialized to the gym of course, which makes it a fun challenge. I like Spanishdict.com for it´s excellent dictionary and verb conjugation tables.   I also found it helpful to check my translation with modern AIs like ChatGPT.com or Perplexity.ai  for other ways to translate this activity using terms specific to my preferred zone, Latin America.  For example in ChatGPT, you can ask:  Review this paragraph for grammar errors and clarity as if you were a professor from (your preferred country or region):  (and paste your transcription after the colon).   You can also ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to translate the original paragraph in English to the Spanish of your preferred country or region so you can see your preferred regional-style of writing.

Why isn't "No me gusta comer el chocolate?"

As in, why don't we use the article

While it has been over a year since he submitted that question, I too share his frustration with this lesson. Can someone at Kwiziq give a little more explanation? It would super nice if someone could answer Jeffrey since that is exactly what I have been wondering.
