It might be useful to have more lessons on verb usageI find that learning common verb usage is one of the best ways to strengthen my Spanish foundation. Often the examples in any given topic raise questions about verb usage. For example, in this lesson,
(1) All the examples of “volver” use the preposition “de” to men “return from”. Is it also acceptable to use “volver a” to mean “return to”, as in “Sylvia vuelve a trabajar hoy.” (Sylvia returns to work today.)
(2) Both examples of “mover” are used to refer to moving something around. What verbs are commonly used for moving something from one place to another?
(3) Does the verb “moverse” simply mean “to move around”? There is a quiz question that implies this.
My point is not these specific questions, but to please consider providing more lessons on verb usage, maybe at a higher level. At this A1 level the objective is simply to learn to conjugate, of course, but many of the examples show varied uses of the different verbs, which is a good thing, as this raises questions and makes us want to learn more.
I don't think that I have a problem with the concept, but I did answer incorrectly. Your topic is entitled (alternative to querría) and this also appears above the questions. I checked/ticked only the "quisiera" answer since it is the alternative. Apparently I should have ticked the "querría" answer as well, which I feel is not a grammatically correct answer to the question.

The lessin says both are acceptable in this situation but in the quiz only se hizo is accepted.

Thank you so much for including this incredibly beautiful poem! It highlights the beauty of the Spanish language so perfectly.
I have a vague recollection of my papi reciting this to me as a young girl. Brought a happy tear to my eye. 🙂
I want to wish all the teachers, the whole team at Kwiziq and the students una:
"¡Feliz Navidad!"
Taken from the examples:
OLER+NOUN—>to smell something (flowers, everything)
OLER+ADJECTIVE—>to smell a certain way( fatal, bien)
OLER A NOUN—>to smell of/like noun (chocolate, pollo quemado, perfume fresco) Google Translate puts “oléis a pollo quemado” as “you smell like burned chicken”
'Then there is my beloved sister Luisa'
The answer is given as 'Luego está mi querida hermana'
I have never seen estar used instead of haber to say 'there is' so could you please explain the usage here
Gracias
