"Don't drink a lot" translations available are all incorrect

You guys have the "correct" answer as bebe poco. Bebe poco means drink a little. Don't drink a lot would be "no bebas mucho" ...I'm staring to wonder why I'm paying so much money for a Latin Americna course that has consistent errors both in Spanish and English and also teaches variations that are not Latin American Spanish.

Fill in the blanks quiz questions I did one of the fill in the blanks quizzes. The prompt read "what vegetables will I need" and "look, first you buy fresh vegetables"

Neither of these are phrased in the passive and the second sounds like it could be a command. If they had been phrased "what vegetables are needed?" and "first one buys fresh vegetables", then I could see. Are there reasons that my answers are wrong??

Here's what I put:

Lidia] Ah pues dime, ¿qué verduras necesitan?

[Sonia] Mira, primero compra verduras frescas

Is there a lesson for the rules on Spanish accents and if not why not?

My understanding was that the accent falls on the penultimate syllable unless another syllable is accented. Given that where does the accent fall on “peinar”? Is it not split into pe in ar?

Just a note- in the section "Cualquier/cualquiera versus algún/alguna and ningún/ninguna", you have the wrong recording with the first sentence

Preterite yo form

Good morning Kwiziq team,

As always I love your content.

I’m not sure if this is covered in another lesson, if so feel free to direct me to it! Just sometimes struggle to remember when the verb in the yo form of the preterite indefinido for “ir” verbs end in í or e.

I think it’s verbs like introducir that threw me off; is it because that one is an irregular verb ending in ducir? Just that you highlight the consonant change, but not that the ending changes too?

Kind regards,

Fran
