In your example on the use of tanto...como, one of your sentence  has left me uncertain about the translation. Tanto cuando son pequeños como majores, los hijos siempre preocupan a los padres. The English translation in your example is: Whether they are young or grown-up, children are always a worry for their parents. The use of the personal "a" before the word "los padres" suggests that the children worry about the parents, except that the verb should have been "se preocupan"..If it was intended to mean that the parents always worry about the children whether young or grown-up, in my opinion, the words "los hijos" and "los padres" should be interchanged, with the verb se preocupan. Otherwise  " están ocupados" should have been used instead of "preocupan"  and or used before los padres. Please advise.

Instead of just adding "Me llamo", I wrote "me llamo Juan" inadvertently giving the answer "Me llamo Juan Juan". This is accidental! Yet Kwiziq marks it incorrect! Almost certainly, this would never occur in a practical situation.

Also when using my tablet, I sometimes miss out a question by accident. Kwiziq should prompt that all the questions have not been answered. This is also accidental! Yet Kwiziq marks it incorrect! 

Hola Inma,

Me muy alegro que tú eres mi profesora.  Me estoy divirtiendo mucho todas las noches pero el nivel b2 no es muy fácil especialmente con respecto al modo subjuntivo. Mi progreso es mucho más lenta que antes.

Gracias, James

 It depends where you live!  I live in the southern hemisphere. My answers would be different to someone living in the northern hemisphere. Por favor, I would like to suggest the name of the country is added to the question. So ... "Which adjectives could you use to describe Spain's weather in octubre?"  I hated getting marked "incorrect" when I was actually correct!  Gracias and I love this course.

Imagino que vosotros ________ la verdad. I imagine that you had told the truth.HINT: Conjugate "decir" in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto

Imagining always takes the indicative, or is this case specific?

Thanks.
