Ella ________ famosa después del anuncio de la tele. She became famous after the advert on the TV.

This example seems to be a consequential change (resulting from being on TV) not a voluntary change. The answer given is hacerse, but volverse seems more adequate if my understanding is correct. But this isn't even listed as a verb of change in the lesson. 

Isn't quedarse a better choice than hacerse? I thought hacerse meant a change as a result of a conscious and voluntary effort on the part of a person undergoing the change?

These verbs are so confusing!!!

FYI...This answer was marked incorrect:

Yo coincido contigo en ese tema. I agree with you on that subject.HINT: Conjugate "coincidir" in El Presente

¡Fue tan interesante!

I was sure that this would have been ¡Era tan interesante! Because I thought that the imperfect was used when describing something? 

how can i know when to use  the subjunctive or  the indicative with Lo + adjetivo + es que+ subjuntivo / indicativo for example lo importante /raro /bueo 

on the test, the "correct" result was "tengo cincuentos años".  
Do numbers change according to the noun they are adjectives of?

Hi,

My answer "algunas vacaciones largas" was marked wrong and "unas vacaciones largas" was given as the correct answer for "some long vacations." Why is algunas wrong?  The lesson doesn’t address either unas or algunas. 

Thanks. K

I'm just curious about the English translation. To be grammatically correct in English, I supposed you'd have to say, "the students with whom I partied." But no one talks that way, and it sounds very stuffy and formal. So I take it, you have decided not to follow English grammar to the letter, but rather the way people actually talk. I think that's a good decision. I take it you are descriptive rather than prescriptive grammarians? 

One of the questions testing the present subjunctive of haber is:

Los pájaros irán donde ________comida.

With the correct answer being haya.

I understand the subjunctive being used in cases of hope, desire etc but I don't understand why it is used in this case rather than 'hay'.

Thanks.
