How to say to remind someone of something with the verb recordarI think the answer to a test question is incorrect. Under the C1 topic of "How to say to remind someone of something with the verb recordar", the question is:
El olor de esta comida _________________ mi ninez.
The smell of that food reminds me of my childhood.
HINT: It conveys something that is brought to her mind.
(Sorry, I can't type the tilde above the n).
The accepted answer is "me recurerda a". I think it should be "me recuerda".
This is the lesson:

This is what it says:
The cases mentioned above using the preposition "a" are all to do with "finding some kind of similarity between two things or two people". This is when we use the preposition a.
However, there are cases when it still means "to remind of ..." but here the idea is that "something is brought to mind".
It would be great to have the english version as well so it is easier to understand unfamiliar words.

In another unrelated lesson, a quiz sentence states, 'No me queda mucho dinero pero tengo para dos cervezas más.' Where does this sentence fit in the various meanings of quedar, as explained in this lesson?
Magdalena = muffins? Crei que muffins se traduce como "mollette". Y por que "magdalena? Que una referencia a la santa?
¿Cuántos euros te quedan en la cartera? -Me quedan ochenta.
How many euros do you have left in your purse? -I have eighty left.
The above is using preterite translated to present perfect. This is a subject I have some trouble understanding. Wondering if quedar is one of those examples of language that doesn't translate exactly and have to accept it as an expression used and not over think it?
Why isn't vegetales accepted for vegetables?
hola
does this literally mean " its official number of inhabitants being xxx personas" ?
I am confused with the word order: can you also say " su cifra oficial siendo.xxx.." ?
I feel putting " siendo" at the beginning demands a number first . Such as " xxx siendo su cifra"
Could you elaborate ?
Muchas gracias!

Could you also say “Me había regalado un esqueje”?
I am confused after getting an answer wrong in a test and then reviewing the subsequent lesson.
In a recent test, this sentence was given to complete. "No me gusto nada hacer ejercicio _____________." My answer was "después de comer," when in fact the answer was "después de comiendo."
I went back to review the lesson and the lesson states that after the preposition "de" comes the infinitive form of the verb to say the "ing" form of the verb. Now I am confused as to why my answer of "después de comer" is not correct. When do you use the infinitive? and when do you use the present participle (i.e. ending "ando" or "iendo") after the preposition de?
