If there can be multiple answers, it would be nice if the lesson indicated that.

In the test section it says: "Los profesores ___ con los padres de los alumnos"

I thought that should be 'charlaron' because it is an action in the past which has been completed but the system says it is 'charlaban'. 

Please explain?

"Ellas han tenido que ser acompañadas...."

could this also be translated "Ellas tuvieron que ser acompañadas"?

thanks,

Some verbs in the preterite indefinido have tildes and some don't. Is there a rule for when they are used or not used, as i'm finding it difficult to remember when to use them?

Hola Inma,

The question was given in this format "Está bien que vosotros ________ todas las noches."

It seems like an impersonal statement but isn't the usual structure Ser+Adjetivo+Que ..... hence: "Es bueno que leáis todas las noches?"

Saludos. John

In the example, "You have already slept enough for today," what is the reason for using 'lo' here: "Ustedes ya han dormido lo suficiente por hoy."

The sentence 'Voy a aprovechar este trozo de tela para hacerme una falda', is repeated from an above example block, and doesn't match the intent of 'Sometimes we can use "aprovechar" with the same meaning as above but with no direct object.'

Maybe the example sentence at the bottom of the lesson was meant to be included: 'Al cancelarse la clase de español, los estudiantes aprovecharon para irse a tomar una cerveza juntos.', as it isn't shown elsewhere.

Should be on second syllable, no?

- Ella cree que habrá consecuencias.

- Creía que era una bicicleta por participante. 

Because the subject in the two examples above believed/thought that …(creer que) …, I would have used the subjunctive in the second clauses. I equated this to querer que and esperar que both being followed by the subjunctive. What am I missing?
