Not a huge deal, but I learned monte = hill and montaña = mountain and not the other way around. Maybe I'm wrong.
In "....ayuda a reducir los efectos...". is the "a" required because ayudar always takes "a" before an infinitive? If followed by a human or animal the "personal a" is also required, e.g. Ayudo a mi padre, but not if the object is inanimate. Is this correct?
The question given is: De los dos películas esa es la peor.
The multiple choice answers are
Out of those two films that one is very bad / better / bad / worse.
Since película is à “feminine “ noun; Should the question not be De ESAS dos películas esa es la peor. Or perhaps De LAS dos películas esa es la peor.
How to decide to use por (for because) versus porque (as in the example above):

Are there 2 adverbs cuándo and cuando? WordReference.com has both listed. I need an explanation on this for A1 beginner (me).
I am confused with fui and estuve. Fui is simple past but estuve is past also??
Please help me with “Me encanta tu casa”. I understand “Me gusta” as it pleases me. However I have difficulty applying this to “It loves (encanta) me your house”.
In a quiz, I wrote "Estamos adentro de la sala." and it got marked wrong. It said that the only correct answer was "Estamos dentro de la sala." In the notes on this topic, it says that "adentro" and be used for "inside a place" but not for "inside a thing". It seems like "la sala" is a place. Why is it wrong to use "adentro" in this case?
Hola,
Is there a reason why "cuento" cannot be used for "story."
My translator says that "cuento" is used for a fictional tale and "historia" is used for a narrative account. I always thought that they were more or less interchangeable.
Kind Regards
John
