Kwiz going wrong?In the kwiz, I got:
¿Vive aquí ________ Julia Pérez? Tengo un paquete para ella.
as I saw both first name and last name, according to the lesson, I used 'la doña'. I quote:
We use "don" and "doña" in a very similar way to the titles señor/señora. In English these are also the equivalent of Mr. or Mrs. but with the difference that we use them followed by the person's first name or followed by both first name and surname, but never just their surname.
The example even shows: Hemos otorgado el premio a don Javier Cuevas.
Yet, the answer tells me it should have been 'la señora', while in the lesson, no example is to be found stating the combination of 'la señora' (or el señor for that matter) followed by both first and last names.
Is the kwiz wrong here, or am I still missing a clue?
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 really getting concerned for Angela. She's not making good decisions bouncing from one man to another. She needs more self-respect. This is so sad and so common now. Women are so sexualized that they don't see their own value.
Ponme en la lista de las personas que quieran a estudiar italiano si haya tal lista.

There are several verbs ending in eguir where the stem changes in the present tense. (for example -- seguir becomes sigo, siges, ...) Does this happen for all verbs ending in eguir or are there examples where the e does not change in the stem.
The question for this section was
Mr. Hernandez, would you like another glass of wine?
would you (formal) like = le gustaría
But then it asks to conjugate "querer" in El Presente. If this is so, then shouldn't the question be
Mr. Hernandez, do you want another glass of wine?
The answer for the blank was "quiere".

Is it common to use hacer as "gave" in this question? Why not use diste (dar)?
One of the examples sentences is:
Me alegro de que hayas viajado a diferentes países.
Is the “de” obligatory or may it be omitted?
ie, “Me alegro que hayas...”
Just did this lesson and saw the word "cross". Although it does make sense in old English and some people will still understand the meaning, it is definitely not a word that is used a lot among English speakers today. I think "angry" would be a better word and would reduce the likelihood of someone not understanding what it means.
One question on a quiz I just took was something like
_________ menos me impresiona del cuadro es el color. (What impresses me least about this picture is the color.)
I entered 'Lo que el,' which was wrong. The correct response was 'Lo que.' To me, this seems to mean 'What impresses me less..., ' and it strikes me as a tricky combination of the lessons about 'lo que, etc', and 'el menos/la menos etc.' The lesson that I was referred to for review was the 'lo que etc.' lesson, but I found no example of it used immediately followed by a superlative.
It's been my understanding that an article is required to form a superlative (as in - menos=less, el/la/los/las/lo menos=the least). So it seems that the superlative article gets dropped immediately after 'lo que?' What if the sentence had been constructed slightly differently, 'Lo que me impresiona el menos del cuadro es el color?'
