My test question asked for the El Presente Continuo - i’m new to learning Spanish and skipped the question as I thought I didn’t know how to tackle Continuo - only to find that when I selected “Explain” I was directed to the El Presente Progesivo, which I have studied. So are there the two descriptions for this grammar and should your lesson not say El Presente Progesivo or Continuo (for those, like me, who don’t always think outside the box) ?
Hola,
Los mariscos en Grecia estaban riquísimos
I would have said eran riquísimos - because it's a characteristic.
Why am I wrong? :)
Gracias,
Gracias por esta ejercicio. Fue muy útil. Tengo dos preguntas sobre un par de errores yo cometí. ¿Cual es la diferencia entre endurecer y fortalecer en este contexto? También, ¿cual es la diferencia entre mantenimiento y gestión? Gracias por su clarificación.
I used comenzar for start but it was corrected to empezar. What is the difference in the usage of the two verbs?
Thank you David and Inma for your replies.
But, is the sentence not really: (Nosostros) érasmos nosotros los que ...?
And 'los que' would mean 'ones who'?
Saludos,

Is there a lesson on, or can you talk a little bit about word order? An example says “esta era mí antigua escuela”. I would have said “escuela antigua“. Why is the adjective in front of the noun in this case? Gracias!
The
I'm not clear on the difference between Quedar and Quedarse when expressing results. The lesson says to use quedar to emphasize a result, and to use quedarse to express the result of a change. What's the difference, please? For instance, the following two examples seem pretty similar to me:
Seguro que quedarás contenta con tu pelado nuevo.
I am sure you will be/end up pleased with your new hair cut.
¡Laura va a quedarse pasmada con la noticia!
Laura will be astonished with the news!
Thanks.
