Hi,
I thought I had answered this correctly by choosing the subjunctive of terminar: termine. But it was marked wrong with what I think is just another variation on subjunctive for terminar: terminase. (See below.)
Am I wrong? What am I missing here?
Thanks!

Am I correct in understanding that the use of Unos/as is for countable nouns (pears, sunglasses, cellphones... etc)? For non countable nouns such as money, salt, or sugar, you would use a different word to say some?
Hi,
In English, I would say that we would normally use 'to catch' rather than 'to fish' in the sentence "Podemos pescar ...". Would coger make sense in Spanish?
Thanks.

Luis told me where he had gone on holiday. : Luis me dijo ___ había ido de vacaciones.
The stated answer is “dónde” (with an accent), but this usage seems to be that of a relative pronoun. What am I missing? Why is it “dónde” (with an accent)
Shouldn’t ‘tengo’ in the first line be ‘tenga’ in the subjunctive? Why isn’t it?
Pretty much a waste of listening time . . .
Hola Inma,
¿Espero que estés bien?
¡He disfrutado mucho este ejercicio con todas las expresiones idiomáticas! :)
Please could you let me know if I've understood these correctly in the context of the exercise:
-higos a brevas= once in a blue moon.
-a tope= fully, to the fullest.
-de punta en blanco= dressed up to the nines, dressed to kill.
-se mantiene en sus trece= digging his heels in, sticking to his guns (refusing to go).
Also, I'm unsure about the sentence which includes "ya he liado a mis amigos..." Does liar here mean 'to manage to' or 'to trick'?
Gracias
