Hola,
One of the alternative expressions you offer to the text for he moved to live in the United States" is "se transladó a vivir a Estados Unidos."
I think this should be "se trasladó."
Saludos

I study Spanish in Guatemala where we don’t use the form vous. Is there any way that my lessons can be without the vous form? Thank you.
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"?
We do not use vosotros in Colombia, this is really messing up my tests. Is there a way to avoid this? It is just confusing to learn something that is not necessary.
Ni fuma ni bebe.
I know that you are teaching us well, and I'm 90% that I know what this means, but there isn't a translation for this sentence.
Julian tuvo una entrevista de trabajo muy exitosa. Se había preparado bien porque era una gran oportunidad para él.I think that it means,Julian had a very succesful job interview, he has prepared well because it was a great opportunity for him.Do I get a star? :-)
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,
I get confused at times with the meaning of items in parentheses, for example, like in this:
but generally all of them give (us) a sweet [US: some candy].
Kwizbot pero normalmente todos dan un dulce.
You pero normalmente nos dan unas dulces.
What meant by the different parentheses? (us) a sweet [US: some candy]. And how are they to be interpreted?
Thank you. Nicole
