(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?

for non quantity comparison

may i summarise and say that igual de... que is used for non quantity or another way, quality comparisons only? for example, we can use tanto... como for 'tiene tanto dinero como yo', but we cant use it with igual de. non quantity or quality comparisons which are adjectives, adverbs.

I am a little confused with this sentence "Sospechamos que María volverá con él". Do we not use el subjunivo of Sospechar i.e. Sospechemos que ...?

It seems to me that it is a statement of opinion or one of uncertainty, not a statement of fact.

Thank you

Los profesores ______ con los padres de los alumnos

In the test section it says: "Los profesores ___ con los padres de los alumnos"

I thought that should be 'charlaron' because it is an action in the past which has been completed but the system says it is 'charlaban'.

Please explain?

Have any of you struggled to fulfil the expectations of the improvement timeline? The grey line is always at least 4 percentages above my progress. What does it look like for you? Are you managing? Are you ahead? Let me know

Why is "Ellos propusieron cambiar la ruta del viaje." wrong?

Why is "Propusieron cambiar la ruta del viaje." the only right answer?
