Hi, in one of the quizzes, the answer to this question:
Ben ________ la alarma.Write ''Ben had been woken up by the alarm.was: había sido despertado porcould it also be "hubo sido"?
My sentence:
Las chicas se sintieron mucho frio en esa casa grande
was corrected to:
Las chicas sintieron mucho frio en esa casa grande.
But isn’t sentir a reflexive verb in Spanish? Reflexive verbs are not very common in English.,
Google translate has:
I feel cold (English) – Me siento frio (Español) – Jeg føler mig kold (Danish, my language, which uses reflexion very much like Spanish)
Please explain!

¿Bajo las AFFIRMATIVE COMMANDS, no debería ser "tráelos"?
¿Qué tiempo hace hoy? as written above is (according to my teacher from South America who speaks a high standard of Latin American Spanish) not a proper way to ask about the weather.

Are the instructors native speakers who learned in their native countries?
I find this concept a bit confusing and awkward. "Las joyas estaban siendo robadas por el ladron." I feel it should be simpler, "las joyas fueron robadas por el ladron."
