Me gusta el aspecto conversacional de este ejercicio y el humor.

Gracias por la diversión. He disfrutado el humor, y usar una conversación es un buen idea. Ha sonido muy natural.

Indefinido of Haber

I noticed in the following question the indefinido of haber is used. Hubiste de tener cuidado" means? I thought the indefinido of haber is no longer used except for hubo. Is hubiste and the other indefinite conjugations of haber something that I’m likely to encounter?

Conversar y charlar...

Hola Silvia y Inma,

I tried to use 'charlar' for 'chatting- "...la gente pasa charlando después de comer".

It was suggested that 'conversar' should be used. Is there a distinction between the two or can charlar be added?

Gracias 😊

encontar vs encontarse

!No me encuentro/no encuentro las llaves del coche! is the test item.

The correct answer is reported to be no encuentro.
Encontrarse is said to be used when "surprised to discover something". I interpreted the exclamation marks as indicating surprise at discovering I was unable to find the keys. I was probably overthinking it, ?verdad?

Thanks!

This lesson vs 'Using the conditional or the perfect conditional to express objection/disbelief'

Why is the future/perfect future sometimes used for the same reason one could use conditional/perfect conditional?

¿Cual es la diferencia entre estas dos oraciones?

Estabamos esperando el autobus cuando los ladrones entraron en casa

Esperabamos el autobus cuando los ladrones entraron en casa.

Me he confundido porque parecen iguales pero creo que hay una diferencia, no?

llovia cuando empezò el partido

estaba lloviendo cuando empezo el partido

same thing, right?
