A great poem in Spanish which should be enjoyed in Spanish. While the translation gives lots of new vocab (with poetic license) the true enjoyment is in the flow of Spanish and not in the clumsiness of an English translation!

But the concept of the subjunctive is different in English and is little understood by most anglófonos. For example:

Te di el dinero para que me dejaras en paz. - In the English subjunctive form "I gave you the money so that you should leave me alone."

Whereas to use "would leave me alone" should be in the conditional: "Te di el dinero para que me dejarías en paz.

Or are the two subjunctive concepts interpreted "differently" ?

You show the accent on the word difícil on the first i instead of the second i.

One of the test questions is:

"________ al colegio ha habido problemas.

Since this girl arrived at school there have been problems."

which I answered as:

"Ya que esta niña llegó",

which was marked as wrong.

Why can't I think that "Since" here has causal value, which would render my answer correct?

In this usage, it is similar to gustar, correct?  If so, it might be helpful to add a statement indicating that, and perhaps rename the section to: Sobrarle con algo: To have more than enough with something.

When inverted verbs like gustar are taught, it would be great if they were consistently shown with "le"  throughout kwiziq  lessons to indicate an inverted verb that uses indirect object.   

Having the associated preposition that typically goes with the verb is great, too.

Thanks for considering this.
