Hello, I am not clear why “estaba” is used (imperfecto) but all the other verbs are in the pretérito tense. I have read all the lessons on this subject but still nearly always get the tense wrong. I think the guidance is that the pretérito is used when there is a specific beginning and end - but is that not the case with “mucha gente no estaba de acuerdo”?  Many thanks, Tony

Hi, I had a question about the translation for "What should I do?". In this exercise, it said the correct translation was "¿Qué hago?", but wouldn't "¿Qué debo hacer?" also be correct?

I used "mirar" and that was corrected to "ver". Is the difference somewhat the same as the difference between "watch" and "see"?

hello, 

I was wondering if there was a way to copy and paste the texts? I realise they are not just "mere" text files as you can click and find out meaning/grammar points etc but it'd help to review them without being online and without any help/hints.

thanks in advance.

Why do we say "pasear al perro" instead of "pasear el perro". Why is the "al" used?

Does the expression "Si no queue" functions in the same way as "si es que" Here's an example sentence: ¡Si no que está prediciendo todos mis movimientos! ¡¿Qué planeas, niño?! Could we as well say, without changing the meaning: ¡Si es que está prediciendo todos mis movimientos! ¡¿Qué planeas, niño?!

Hi, I'm new to the site and trying to understand how it works. Is there a specific section of the site for these exercises or do they only appear as suggestions in the notebook section? Thanks!
