Hi,

How do I use estados unidos with todo?

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

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?

I don't understand ¿Por dónde vas? because the translation isn't good English. Do you mean 'where are you?' or 'where are you up to?' (in a book) or 'How far up the road have you got?' 

Or perhaps 'where are you at?' is modern usage that I've just never heard before.
