(Los estudiantes con los que salí de fiesta eran muy simpáticos. The students who I partied with were very nice.)

I'm just curious about the English translation. To be grammatically correct in English, I supposed you'd have to say, "the students with whom I partied." But no one talks that way, and it sounds very stuffy and formal. So I take it, you have decided not to follow English grammar to the letter, but rather the way people actually talk. I think that's a good decision. I take it you are descriptive rather than prescriptive grammarians?

Causal clauses

Hola,

En esta frase, donde usamos el indicativo en vez del subjuntivo- ‘Te llamé porque necesitaba ayuda’, ¿No necesitamos usar el adjetivo posesivo ‘tu’? La ‘ayuda’ podría ser ‘tu ayuda’ o ‘su ayuda’ ¿no? La traducción en inglés dice ‘I called you because I needed ‘your’ help.

Gracias

Problems with verbs of change

Ella ________ famosa después del anuncio de la tele. She became famous after the advert on the TV.

This example seems to be a consequential change (resulting from being on TV) not a voluntary change. The answer given is hacerse, but volverse seems more adequate if my understanding is correct. But this isn't even listed as a verb of change in the lesson.

Isn't quedarse a better choice than hacerse? I thought hacerse meant a change as a result of a conscious and voluntary effort on the part of a person undergoing the change?

These verbs are so confusing!!!
