Hi,
I came across the below question in the quiz on this lesson. Am I missing the part where “and she is affected by it” becomes important?
QUESTION:
Choose the correct sentence expressing: "Her baby doesn't eat any fruit and she is affected by it."
CORRECT ANSWER:
Su bebé no le come nada de fruta.
Other choices:
Por ella el bebé no come nada de fruta.Para ella no come su bebé nada de fruta.El bebé no come nada de fruta.Paco ________ una manifestación en la ciudad. Your answer: Paco ha visto...Paco saw a demonstration in the city.(HINT: Conjugate “ver” in El Pretérito Perfecto)Why would this sentence use a perfect tense, when the event is clearly finished?Paco ha visto... - Paco has seen... is very different than Paco saw.
?inmantada o imantada?
spanish dict no conoce "inmantada"
My inclination is to go with the imperfective when talking about someone who has died, as I think of it in terms of general description about who they were:
“My mother was an amazing woman. She was an excellent teacher, and loved her work.”
Am I correct that the imperfect is most appropriate in this situation? Would putting a time limit trigger the preterite?
“She was a teacher for 20 years, and loved her work.”
Todo alcalde merece respeto. (English trans: All mayors deserve respect.) Why is it not Todos alcades merece respeto?

When does the o-ending in the 3rd person pretérito indefinido get a tilde (like "oyó) and when doesn't it?
I see earlier in the thread that you say that "rosado" also means pink. Does the word "rosado" change to "rosada" with a feminine antecedent, or is it invariable, like "rosa"?
Hello! I was always taught that "asistir" was a false cognate to "assist" (to aid/help) in English. My understanding was that "asistir a" means "to attend," either attending an event/school, etc. or to wait on someone. Can you please clarify whether "asistir" in fact can be used to mean "to assist"? Thank you!
How does this lesson fit with the other lesson "Using Querer in El Preterito Indefinido vs. El Preterito Imperfecto", which seems to be saying that querer in the Simple Past means "to try"?
1st table of examples. Why do you use 'tocara' in the third sentence when referring to 'they'? Should it not be 'tocaran'?
