The lesson suggests that the use of adónde vs dónde is dependant on whether a verb of movement  follows. 

However, in a Kwiziq question "Luis me dijo _______ había ido de vacaciones" we are only given the options donde or dónde. But 'ir' seems to suggest adónde (Luis told me to where he went).

So, is it that 'ir' is in past perfect here (and that the movement is finished) that 'adónde' is not a valid option in this case?

When, if ever, is the construction "no...nada" used? When is "nada" used?

Is "Qué es tú nombre?" also a valid way to ask what is your name?

Question in A1 Focus Test

Mi vecina Patricia es ______.

Hola,

I put "maleduca" because it's a woman, it's singular and when "maleducar" is conjugated in El Presente, it comes up as "maleduca."  Why is it marked wrong? Why is "maleducada" the correct answer?

In relation to that, I don't feel the question has been covered well because we have not encountered that word previously and I cannot find it in any lessons on the Lawless website.

Gracias por la respuesta!

So this lesson explains that imperfecto can be thought of as currently happening, while the indefinito is something that happened in the past. But then in the lesson that compares the two with "time markers" it says the opposite. Imperfect is meant to indicate something "used to" happen. Seems like a contradiction. Actually the more I try to understand this topic the more it seems like the type of thing I should just try to memorize first, and then try to wrap my head around it much later. 

Hi, can you clarify this question? In my opinion this is a question about something that WILL happen. It seems to me that the situation is that it is already decided that we will go out tonight, so I answered with the indicative:

¿Dónde quieres comer cuando salimos esta noche?

but the correct answer was given as:

¿Dónde quieres comer cuando salgamos esta noche?

Can you explain this a little more? I'm clearly missing some nuance.

Thanks!

How do we know to use para ser vs para una?

Hola,

I have a couple of questions on this activity:

Question1:

why the use of the imperfect here:  

Kwizbot ¡Era muy bonita! 

Question 2: 

Kwizbot En el jardín había una piscina muy grande 
You En el jardín había una muy grande piscina 

How to learn this structure, what rules govern this use.  

Thank you for your help,

Nicole
