"-erir", "-vertir", "-etir", "-ergir" and other verbs

[A comment rather than a question]: All '-erir' verbs [apart from the barely used 'enjerir'] change the e to ie:, e.g. sugerir, referir, preferir, diferir, transferir, requerir and a host of others. A similar rule applies to [all !] '-vertir' verbs: convertir, divertir(se), etc. etc.... On the other hand, all '-etir', '-edir' and '-egir' verbs adopt the e>i change.... With help from a CD which enabled words to be listed in reverse-alphabetical order, I examined the contents of my CLAVE dictionary, and posted the results in http://dlmcn.com/ir_verbs.html (the accents are properly represented in http://DLMcN.com/irverbs.doc ).

Encontrar part 2

Hello, I also fell into the trap of "puedes ver publicidad" but it was not shown as being an acceptable answer, 10 months after the last reply here.

I want neither a sandwich nor a burrito.

Included in the possible answers in the mini-quiz are:

1. Ni un bocadillo ni un burrito me apetece. (Correct)

2. Me apetece ni un bocadillo ni un burrito. (Incorrect)

Can you please explain how placing "Me apetece" at the beginning of the sentence instead of the end changes the meaning and makes it incorrect?

Many thanks.

Listening exercise question...

Hi, I'm wondering if Inma is speaking in her normal voice/pace in this audio, or if she is enunciating carefully for us learners and the B2 level? I'm asking because I've noticed that I understand her pretty well, but when I watch videos of native speakers on Youtube, often I don't understand anything. Thanks!

Oops, that didn't copy right

The given translation was:

"tienen que ser acreditados por"

and my answer, marked incorrect, was:

"deberían ser acreditados por"

Second question in this sectionunfortunately I cannot progress with this subject as the 2nd question is too long to be able to submit an answer. Or is that just my iPad?

why is cómo estás wrong?

Why is Cómo estás? wrong when the question asks for all possible answers for asking an elderly man? What if an elderly man is asking another elderly man?

Cuando + subjunctiv + imperativ (=future intention?)Is it correct that when there is a imperativ in a cuando sentence it is about a future intention? The example in the lesson is "cuando vayas al mercado compra fruta y verdura". Because you want to happen it in the future it is vayas and not vas. Is that correct? I had a hard time understanding this, there is only 1 example with the imperativ, and it is not mentioned in the lesson. The rest in with the much more easier simple future.
