Curious how common the use of "sadden" is? In English, it would be much more natural/common to say "the film makes me sad" or "stray dogs make me sad" although you could also say "they sadden me." Does "los perros abandonados me hacen (o me ponen) triste" exist in common Spanish usage, or do speakers usually use the reflexive? Thank you!

I'm very confused by this as according to the lesson, the structure:
'A tan solo + (length of time) + de' is used to express an action occurring before another action.
I don't see why my answer ' a solo pocos años de.. ' is incorrect.
Gracias

Hi, so I have a test on "mi casa". I'm in grade 6, and can you recommend possible areas to study, especially because I'm new to Kwiziq!
I am wondering how the scoring system works for this exercise. I transcribed many of the parts correctly with no error. Why didn't I receive any points?
La narradora dice que había un hombre "haciendo fotos". Mi pregunta es, ¿es habitual usar "hacer" en este contexto? Yo pensaba que lo más habitual era "sacar fotos" y "grabar videos". ¿O esto depende de la region? ¿En algunos países de habla español es más típico usar "hacer"?
