Wording error?

The intro says "Aunque, generally translated as although, even if, or despite of". I'm not sure there's any English construction "despite of", I think you may be conflating "despite" with "in spite of". As far as I can think of, these two phrases are used pretty interchangeably in English.

No estamos ninos?

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!

Estar and Ser

Hola,

Here is my train of thought. "Ayer estuve en un concierto:" "Yesterday" requires the pretérito indefinido because it refers to a completed action at a time in the past, and the verb is estar because it is referring to a location; hence estuve.

However I am stuck with "Fue en San Juan:" Is San Juan not a location? If so, would it require the verb estar rather than ser?

It would be great if you could explain this.

Many thanks.

Esperar also means to wait

Hola,

I was wondering, as this lesson specifically deals with esperar in the meaning of "to hope", what happens if I want to use it as "to wait"? Does it also require El Subjuntivo?

Pasarselo bien

Hola

With the expression pasarselo bien, I have seen examples elsewhere written "la estoy pasando bien" (ie no reflexive pronoun and a feminine direct object pronoun) Please could you explain what the "la" refers to and if both expressions are interchangeable?

Gracias

Dee

Spanish word missing for “them”?________, yo no me fiaría. No matter how attractive the offer is, I wouldn't trust them.Como sea muy atractiva la ofertaPor muy atractiva que sea la ofertaDesde que sea muy atractiva la ofertaPara que sea muy atractiva la oferta

The english says “.. I wouldn’t trust them”. The spanish word for “them” is missing.

Thank you,
Shirley
