Thanks!

Hello, all these examples are in the form QUERER + INFINITIVE.

Would the translations be the same for QUERER + NOUN?

ex.  I didn't want the free food.  "No quise la comida gratis" or "No quería la comida gratis"?

Thanks.

A ella le molestaba que nosotras ________ con su novio.It bothered her that we had spoken to her boyfriend.HINT: Conjugate "hablar" in El Pretérito Pluscuamperfecto de SubjuntivoHi all, In the above phrase... There is nothing hypothetical. It's a fact that the girl was upset that some people spoke to her boyfriend.. It should be indicative in my opinion... Pls help

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.”

Why do the pronouns that refer to the grandparents collectively switch between "les" and "los" in the text? For example: "Los visito siempre que puedo y nunca les he visto tan felices en mi vida." 

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!

Hi... so sorry. There was a problem on my own Google page. It was interpreting the Spanish as French for some reason !!!. I got it sorted. Sorry again for the hassle.

You are doing great work

Joseph.
