Hola Kwiziq team,
Quick question; in the example below is unos agreeing with minutos? Or should it be agreeing with pelicula?
La película dura unos ochenta minutos.
Thanks as always.

I thought general experiences were talked about in the Imperfect. The time markers given in this lesson match up with https://progress.lawlessspanish.com/learn/theme/746448.
And also this lesson seems to indicate using the Imperfect:
Using the imperfect tense in Spanish to express habits or repeated actions in the past (El Pretérito Imperfecto)
Hello Inma,
I have been having difficulty choosing between the two above, I have read the lesson and the questions here.
In the lesson it states "
Debido a queIf we use debido a que, it can never be followed just by a noun, it needs a phrase."
But in your answer to a question here, you mention "debido a que" needs a CLAUSE, which is slightly different from a phrase in the text book I use to understand these things. In my book it says a PHRASE is any two or more words that don't contain a verb, but a CLAUSE needs to me able to stand by itself and be understood. Would you take a look and see if PHRASE or CLAUSE is the most appropriate for this lesson? Gracias.
The mini kwiz had this possible answer which I did not select, but which was apparently correct: "Nuestros padres compraron helados a nosotros." Isn't "a nosotros" the same kind of pronoun as "a ti" or "a ella"? Why would this not require a "nos" before compraron the way "a ti" or "a ella" would require "te" or "le"?
On my latest quiz, I was asked to write “Alicia has as much joy as Carmen.” I chose “Alicia tiene tanta alegría como Carmen”, because I understood “tanta” means “as much/as many…as”. My answer was wrong. The correct answer is “Alicia tiene tan alegría como Carmen”. I thought “tan” here meant ”as…as”. Did I misunderstand something from the tan/tanta mini-lessons?
I've seen your lessons on que without an accent including one on que used in question format with indicative to indicate disbelief. But my question is about que without an accent in declarative statements that seem to show emphasis or surprise.
I can think of one example. "Ahora que recuerdo!"
Is there a lesson on this type of que or can you explain it a little? Is it simply emphasis and can I use it an any sentence where I want to put emphasis?
Thanks, Philip
When a noun is used to describe the weather, hacer is used but when an adjective or participle is used then the verb is estar: En otoño, hace viento -v- en otoño está ventoso.
Pero why is ser used for: en otoño es incomodo? Or should it be está?
