Volver is also used to mean "become" or "turn." As in vuelva loca.

I am unable to find Part 1 and Part 4 of Un crimen perfecto.  Can you help?

Hola Inma, 

Ayer me cobraron de más en ese bar, _conque_______ dudo mucho que vuelva a ir.

They overcharged me in that bar yesterday, so I very much doubt I will return.

Muchas gracias

For this question:  Es improbable que los niños ________ la puerta. These options show as correct:  hayan roto / rompieran.  I understand hayan roto, as the impersonal beginning signifies "subjunctive", and the event is in the past. However, I learned at a language school in Cuernavaca that present tense statements (es improbable) could only match with haber + participle, and that only past events (eg "era improbable" could match with imperfect subjunctive (rompieran). The teachers made a big deal out of that. However here it shows up as a legitimate option. Can you explain?  Thank you.

Would it be safe to assume that "por" is used instead of "para" when it makes sense to say "porque", or "because" in English? This was just a connection I made while reading the lesson, and knowing this would be really helpful! If so, can the two words just be swapped out for one another? Thanks!

Hola Inma: Regarding El Preterito Perfecto, I don't know what you mean when you say the speaker sees herself inside that same timeframe. For example: “¿Vosotras pudisteis reservar ese hotel tan barato?” In what way does the speaker see herself inside that timeframe? Likewise, for El Preterito Indefinido, in what way does the speaker see herself outside the timeframe, ex: “No pudimos conseguir entradas para el concierto”?

I was just marked wrong when I answered a test question with 'hemos sido'. I was told that the correct answer was 'hemos sidos.'  There is no sidos in the conjugation that I can find.  What is this?

When I ask a question I would like to see if other people have asked a similar question, but when I try to search for my question, no search is done; I am only allowed to ask a new question.

Gracias, Jaime 

Hi,

I noticed that the test is missing in this lesson.

I would also like to ask whether one could say vigilando a todo lo que pasa/vigilando a todo quien pasa?

thank you

Hello, in this exercise the English for litre is spelt "liter" in one of the lines.  Thanks
