Good morning,
Would you explain why it's "yo" here and not "mí", which I thought followed "para"?
¡Muchas gracias!
If someone hits you, I will intervene.
Si alguien te golpea, intervendré. o Si alguien te golpea, intervengo.
Which is more appropriate or "right"?
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.
Is there a general rule in Spanish about when the definite article must be used and when it can be omitted? Eg why do azúcar, sodio, carbohidratos and lácteos need the definite article but not pescado, marisco, granos and huevos?
This is a helpful list. Would you be able to add the infinitive forms, as you did with the table for the form "-yendo"?
Why isn't "No me gusta comer el chocolate?"

It seems to me it is not always the case that se comes from a pronominal verb.
I think not when the situtation is accidental or emotional, right? So a non pronominal verb can accompany se while it is being activated buy these 2 states. In other words in,
Los niños se nos están haciendo mayores sin darnos cuenta.Our children are growing without us realising.
hacerse not here, se only comes from emotional involvement. Or is it always the case? I can see where hacerse means becoming.
What does it take to move from A0 to A1? I am allegedly testing at 89.91% at A0 right now and am puzzled why I am not able under to "Choose your focus" to select A1 material? It would seem for goal setting one should know what it takes to move up. Am I missing something?
