In my dashboard test there are two correct answers using the future tense of continuar and seguir, but the English hint is in the present tense. Th e word “will” to indicate future tense is absent. Shirley.
Why uno and not unos?
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.

Hola,
In this lesson we have the example of "Si, te quiero."
The direct object pronouns introduced are: Me, Te, Nos, and Os. The other direct object lesson referred to deals with: lo, la, los, and las.
What is the direct object pronoun for "Usted", the formal of "Tu"; or "Ustedes", the plural of "Tu" in Latin America?
I seem to remember it to be: "le" and "les" respectively.
For example, I would say to my elderly neighbor, "Si, yo le quiero"
Is this correct? And, is there a lesson that covers the direct object pronouns for "usted" and "ustedes"?
Gracias,
N. Hilary
From the examples given it's hard to tell why a native speaker would choose one of these adverbs in preference to another one in any given situation. Is there any guidance on this? Why would I choose 'igual' over 'lo mismo', for example, if they both mean the same thing?
could you, please, explain why not fue un pintor? The action is completed, ya que está muerto.
Saludos
Ελισάβετ
Having read the lesson, the mini test asked me to select the right gerund of traer. While I chose correctly, it wasn't clear from the lesson wether or not it should be with the 'y' or not, so traiendo or trayendo.
What part of the lesson did I not recognise in which category to fit 'traer' ?
I'm having brain death when it comes to the following concepts:
1. alguno alguna algunos algunas - when to use the singular forms vs. the plural forms
2. ninguno ninguna ningunos ningunas - when to use the singular forms vs. the plural forms
3. I cannot distinguish between pero and sino que. i Have no problem with sino, itself.
I have read the explanations of these topics at least 10 times and I still get them wrong in my quizzes. During my reading of the explanations my brain gets all fogged up and I can't make the necessary distinctions.
In the examples using past actions in the main clause, either the pretérito imperfecto or the pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo are used. However, in the explanation it says the pretérito indefinido or the plusucmaperfecto.
Hola,
Trying to understand why this isn't an indicative? Seems more of a statement of fact? (appreciate that I guess that this is pointing to future occasions they will wake the dog - seems a very grey area!)
It is odd that the children wake up the dog so early.
Es extraño que los niños despierten al perro tan temprano.
Gracias,
